Congratulations to the august members of the House of Representatives. You just saved America $148.5M. Of course, after countless hours of wrangling with the Senate, that will surely be reduced by half. And then, there will be the lawsuits challenging the ex post facto tax targeting a particularly company--a really, really, really bad company which deserves to be disemboweled and which we would definitely do if that pesky economic depression weren't in the way. But as I was saying, after the lawsuits and the bureaucratic overhead costs for collecting the cash, the DBO (Dagblog Budget Office) estimates the net savings for the American taxpayers to be somewhere between 0 and -$148.5M. But that doesn't matter because the point is JUSTICE! We demand that all the rich assholes deserve to pay the ultimate penalty for their greedy, greedy awfulness: TAXES! That will show the bastards.

Last week, I wrote a diary called This is the House That George Built. One reader suggested that I make a video. This is the video.

I wrote this piece in a moment of anger, directed not only towards George Bush and his cronies, but to all the people that brought this country and the world to this terrible place at which we've arrived. There have been countless people who have suffered and many more who will continue to suffer because of this nation's folly.

If you like this video, please hotlist it. I hope that it will go viral for all to see. The lyrics can be found on my blog

This is the house that George built!

This is the house that George built!
These are men who lie in the house that George built.
This is the war that killed the men
That lie in the house that George built.

This is the fraud that started the war
That killed the men that lie in the house that George built.
This is the Dick that contrived the fraud
That started the war that killed the men
That lie in the house that George built.

This is is the press, so naive
That trusted the Dick who did deceive
That contrived the fraud that started the war that killed the men
That lie in the house that George built.

These are the workers who saved no mon'
That believed the press, so naive
That trusted the Dick who did deceive
That contrived the fraud that started the war that killed the men
That lie in the house that George built.

These are the companies poorly run
That fired the workers who saved no mon'
That believed the press, so naive
That trusted the Dick who did deceive
That contrived the fraud that started the war that killed the men
That lie in the house that George built.

Back in the primary, pundits and critics wondered how Obama could deliver change while keeping his promise of bipartisanship, for the Republicans would surely block progressive initiatives. As Obama selects experienced insiders for his administration, pundits and critics now wonder how he can deliver change with a staff whose ideas have shaped past administrative policies. Some assume that Obama will not try or will not be able to fulfill his promises of change. Others assume that to Obama, "change" is an empty word, useful for getting elected but irrelevant to his governing plans.

These apparent inconsistencies only appear to be paradoxical if "change" is taken to mean policy change. But the only dramatic policy changes that Obama promoted during his campaign were Iraq withdrawal, rollback of the Bush tax cuts, healthcare policy, energy policy, and foreign policy. While these proposals would certainly represent a change from the Bush administration's practices, they hardly constitute a wholesale change in the way Washington does business. Obama's policies and priorities will most likely resemble Clinton's with some variations and corrections.

So where is the change?

The economy and Bush's unpopularity would have made it tough for McCain to win the election no matter what, but as I predicted last February in one of my first political blogposts, Overestimating McCain, John McCain has played a weak hand poorly. I base my argument on the radical assumption that content matters. Whether delivered in rousing speeches, angry debates, or snide ads, if a candidate's message fails to resonate with voters, he or she is unlikely to prevail. I propose two measures for evaluating the effectiveness of a message: truthiness and importance. In an homage to Stephen Colbert, I use "truthiness" rather than "truth" because with regard to electability, the accuracy of a message doesn't ultimately matter as long as the voters believe it. The swiftboaters' message about Kerry's service was a lie, but unfortunately, enough voters found it persuasive to make a difference in the race.

Q: Hello readers. I have a very special guest today: Joe the Plumber, who has exploded from obscurity to celebrity faster than a photogenic moose-hunting governor. Joe, thanks for coming to my blog post.

J: My pleasure, Qenghis. I've always dreamed of being interviewed by a blog with a readership of 10 or 11 people.

Q: Think big, Joe. We're going for 17 today. I'm honored that you accepted the invitation. I'm sure that you're in high demand since you became the cause célèbre of the presidential debate.

J: Well, I didn't have much choice, since you fictionalized me.

Q: Credit where credit is due, Joe. John McCain fictionalized you. Before we get started, are you related to the Polish plumber?

The Republican presidential hopeful John McCain let his frustration with the US economy for torpedoing his campaign boil over today. When asked in an interview about the challenges his campaign faces, McCain responded, "Look, it's no secret that the economy favors my opponent." Asked to elaborate, he replied, "This country is in crisis. Now is not the time to point fingers. But everybody knows that the economy caused this crisis, and I think everybody knows why it's doing it."

Separately, Steve Schmidt, who is the top strategist for the McCain campaign, called the economy a "pro-Obama institution..uh...organization...whatever, it's pro-Obama." He added,

This is an economy that is completely, totally, 150 percent in the tank for the Democratic candidate. Everything that happens to the economy should be evaluated by the American people from that perspective.

Challenged by reporters to defend the accusation, Schmidt continued:

Ewwwwwwwwww!!!!! Too creepy!!! My grrrlfriend says that Malfoy's dad, I mean Joe Biden, is going to win the debate because he knows about other countries and stuff, but she is TOTALLY effed in the head. First of all, Sarah knows LOTS of countries. The president of Russia is her neighbor, so she knows him the best of anyone. And she also knows people in Canada and the north pole and all the other countries. So there!! Second of all, this is America and nobody here gives a care about the other stupid countries anyway.

John McCain on the state of the economy

1/10 McCain: I don't believe we're headed into a recession. I believe the fundamentals of this economy are strong, and I believe they will remain strong.

Huzzah, the fundamentals are strong!

9/15 McCain: Our economy, I think, is still -- the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult times.

Well, at least the fundamentals are still strong.

9/15 McCain: And my opponents may disagree, but those fundamentals -- the American worker and their innovation, their entrepreneurship, the small business, those are the fundamentals of America, and I think they're strong.

Um, what exactly do you mean by fundamentals?

Two month ago, John McCain challenged Barack Obama to visit Iraq, expecting him to decline, but Obama called the bluff. He saw McCain's Iraq and raised him Afghanistan, Israel, and three European nations. Never one to fold easily, McCain raised Obama right back. Fresh from his own mission-critical visits to Columbia and Mexico, McCain suggested that Obama to visit "some of the other countries of the Americas for the first time." Obama has not yet responded to this latest challenge, but pundits suggest that in light of his inexperience in intrahemispheric relations, he has no choice but to tour Central and South America, Canada, Greenland, and the Galapagos. Fortunately for Obama, he recently vacationed in the Virgin Islands, so he can cross one remote island chain off the list.
