Pete Rose, you have been shabby did.  You got banned from baseball for betting that your team would win.

Eric Cantor needs to be banned from office.  He's a  full bore black sox player who is betting against his (our) team

 At his inauguration, Barack Obama was the owner of a chestful of political capital and the world's most valuable rolodex.

We know the tragic way he wasted the capital, leaving him impotent to be a player in the midterm elections.

The rolodex, the email addresses of 13 million grassroots supporters should have turned, in any intelligent machine, into the block captains of a concerted pressure group to support the administration's legislative agenda.

A civically minded FBI apparat has leaked transcripts of a wiretap operation left over from the days when Florida Governor Rick Scott was fixiin' to become a convicted felon.

They forgot to shut down the tap when Scott made his deal to walk on his Medicare Fraud beef.

A truly simplified method for funding the government.  A balanced budget that Lenin could love.

Fuck income, tax wealth.

We eliminate all deficits by the following arithmetic:

Each fiscal year, we total up last year's expenditures.  (E)

We total up the combined wealth of the nation (W)

We exempt an amount equal to 200 times the poverty level (200P)

We  assess individual non exempt wealth (W-200P) as necessary to equal E.  Probably between 1 and 5%, but always exactly the amount spent.
