"Is it "illegal" for orchard owners in Eastern Washington and elsewhere to hire illegal immigrants to pick their crops?" Yes. "I have hired day laborers who I am pretty sure are illegals, does that mean I have no right to argue against illegal immigration?" No. It means you may have ...

As fine a piece of religious ju-jitsu as I have ever read, Knute.

"Many of you sit on nonprofit boards." Obviously the intended audience for this piece does not include me, or nearly everybody else. This is cluelessness on a grand scale.

"They (California) have one of the highest state income tax rates in the country and look at the shape they're in." Yes. Look and behold the long term idiocy of the Jarvis property tax straight jacket Californians inflicted on themselves back in the late 70's. Pretty awesome, isn't it?

"As someone who makes over 250,000 what makes you think I'm going willingly pay this new income tax?" Non sequitur, nose bleed. To be consistent, you must feel that way about ANY tax, you poor galt-guy you. You buy your yacht in Oregon? Your groceries in Idaho? Tell lies to ...

Ted, With all due respect, your comment above is laughable. You are the epitome of hyperpartisanship. Everything is the fault of the Democratic Party. Show us ONE column by you lamenting this loss of comity--say during the period 1992-2008. Just one that casts ANY blame on the GOP. Just one. ...

Does not tvd recall that McCain did the same thing to Sens Bird and Dayton that Franken did to Lieberman? Does not tvd recall the goofball doctor Frist invoking the 'nukular option'? How does he overlook the details regarding the passage of medicare part D in the House? Where has ...

The "structural deficit" Ted so wrings his hands about is the result of (a.) Repeated tax cuts to the wealthy; and (b.) out of control medical costs. Social Secuity does not pose any big problem in this regard. On the other hand, a 50% reduction in defense spending could make ...
