Could this be the secret airfield where MH370 landed?

I am sitting at home and thought I would join the army of armchair sleuths looking for where this remarkable mystery flight could have gone. Based on how far the plane could have flown - it could be anywhere from India to Australia. Now, if I were going to find somewhere remote land a plane this size, Australia would seem like the perfect location. So I loaded up google maps and started clicking around. Nothing, more nothing, then some more nothing.

But then...poof! I stumble across a remote airstrip not listed in any "airport" listings on google. Remote, isolated, unpopulated. It just might be the place!

Remote Airstrip

You have to click satellite to see it. What do you all think? Could the plane have gone somewhere like this? I'm not an aviation expert, but it looks like there is enough room to land...and these images are from 2009 - which means this isn't a place that is flown over with satellites a lot.

I own GOPVision.com but what should I do with it?

I bought GOPVision.com for fun and just have it set to cash parking right now (displaying adult ads of course). But I figure I could do something fun with it - a parody site perhaps. I don't really build websites, so if someone has a good idea what to do with it, I'm all ears.

$250k = Small Business? PLEASE explain how!

Excuse me if I am being a little naive...but it infuriates me that the Democrats are letting the Tea Partiers get away with calling someone who takes home over $250k a job creator or small business. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN IT TO ME? Or explain why the Dems aren't pushing back? This is how I see it:

How is taxing someone making over $250k a year going to "destroy" small business or a job creator?

Don't we only tax income on small business on their profits AFTER expenses (i.e. net income)? So if someone makes over $250k/year, then it is PURE PROFIT? Republicans say that it will hamper growth to tax anyone making $250k in pure profit, BUT if that small business used that money to grow the business (let's say they put in $50k into opening a new store), then that money is SUBTRACTED from your net profit and therefore they would only be taxed on $200k and therefore be getting a tax cut under Obama's plan?!!?

I just don't get how taxing someone who is making over $250k net profit a few percentage more is going to KILL job creators! THAT IS NET PROFIT PEOPLE! That is a pretty good income and in the very top tier of wage earners.

I can only come to conclusion that Republicans are going to hold middle class tax cuts for the other 99% hostage so their $250k a year NET income friends can keep a few extra thousand bucks.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hey all! I am a long time reader but truly infrequent diarist!

However, awhile ago I had this idea that if Mittens Romney is going to be the nominee, I might at least try to make some money off him right? So I bought MittensForMitt.com with the full intention of becoming a supply-side capitalist (aka job creator, aka rich guy, aka risk taker). I was going to create American Flag mittens and sell them to Mitt's supporters for $17.76...with them never knowing they were padding the pockets of an lily-livered progressive Obama supporter.

*Side note, to really make any money, you would have to outsource production to China...so it would just be following in Mitt's footsteps! But hey, you might get a big tax break!

Anyways, long story short...In April, I ended up, unexpectedly, in the hospital (all better now) but I don't have the time or resources to build out my diabolical free-market plan. So I thought I'd list it on eBay and give the opportunity to a Kossack to make money off Mitt.

*Another side note, what is the sound of 1,000 mittens clapping at a rally? I'm dying to find out.

So here is the link if you are interested!

What Progressives believe in...Republicans should be asked if they believe in the same things. A simple yes and no answer will suffice. Chances are they will answer NO to most of the statements below. Read More
