Give It Back For Jobs

Americans who have the means should collectively give back our Bush tax cuts by making donations to organizations that promote fairness, economic growth, and a vibrant middle class. Such joint action, by all visitors to this site, will begin to replicate good government policy, outside the government and free from the grip of obstructionists within it. Because contributions to all of the selected charities are tax deductible, donations made through this site draft the government as a partner in funding the projects that they support.

Bag of Randomness

  • In the mail yesterday arrived, just in time for Baylor’s first bowl game since 1994, a baby Baylor sweater that’s been a part of WifeGeeding’s family for quite some time.  WifeGeeding’s aunt was kind enough to send it, and it’s so fancy it has a Neiman Marcus label.  Unfortunately it didn’t bring the Ken Starr Baylor Bears any luck as they came up short to Illinois 38-14.  But hey, it’s something to build on and there’s always next year.
  • I’m a Sprint customer and they surprised me with an offer of a $70 credit if I renewed my two year contract early.  They said it was for being a good customer, but I have a feeling they know a competitor might lure away customers with an upcoming product launch, and my guess that competitor is Verizon and the product is their version of the iPhone.
  • I was reading Annette Strauss’s Wikipedia entry and came across this sentence: She was the second female mayor and the second Jewish mayor of Dallas (Adlene Harrison was first; Laura Miller was the third).  How is one suppose to know when the term “Jewish” is used that it’s in reference to the person’s faith or heritage.
  • I’m a fan of Gov Bill Richardson and I’m curious to see what he does after his term winds down next month.  I bet he’ll end up being the next Secretary of State.
  • But his hair doesn’t even come in close to being as cool our our governor.
  • I’m a little late with this thought concerning the rescheduling of the Vikings/Eagles game that was moved from Sunday to Tuesday because of the blizzard.  I love watching football played in the snow and all other adverse weather conditions, but when city officials urge residents to stay indoors I don’t think the NFL had any choice but to support the city in a decision made about public safety.
  • It’s going to be hard to judge the next coach of the Cowboys with next year’s somewhat cushy schedule.
  • I’m no longer sold on Jason Garrett.  I’ve questioned his play calling in the past and not too convinced as his role as a leader with how he walked off the field after the last game against the Eagles and how he handled Marion Barber’s celebration penalty.  Heck, I wish he would be harder on the kicker.  I’m still convinced that the only coach for the Cowboys is Gruden.
