It is far more difficult to smear a clean moral person with feces, than cover up a lump of feces with a bright candy shell. Case in point: Ted Kennedy.

Democrats love to whine, yap, and howl about “tax cuts for the wealthy.” I really don’t care who the tax cuts are for, I’m in favor of them. Personally, I would like more tax cuts for everyone.

Then we hear about how these tax cuts are a “gift,” or a “giveaway,” or a “windfall.” Let me ask those of you who buy into this class warfare bullcrap, how used to abuse do you have to be to see being less abused as a windfall?

Let’s say that every year, you are burglarized, and 25% of your stuff is taken. If the next year, only 20% of your stuff gets stolen, would you consider that to be a “giveaway?” I wouldn’t. Any reasonable thinking being wouldn’t. So why is it different if the burglar is the government?

Here’s a newsflash for you: It’s not the government’s money! It belongs to the person or business that made the money. If that person or business has less of their money stolen by the government, it’s not a gift. It’s not a windfall. It’s a person or business keeping more of their own money. It’s NOT the government’s money.

On a related topic, how many times must we hear the Democrats throw out baseless criticisms, and when asked what they would do, they spit out rhetorical vagaries, like, “I’m for improving the health care system,” or, “we need to bring education into the 21st Century.”

When the President makes his State of the Union Address, look for Democrats to criticize the lack of “specifics.” I promise you’ll hear, “He wasn’t specific. There weren’t any specifics. We would have liked some specifics.” You hear it every time.

Well pardon me, but it’s not the President’s job to be specific. It’s his job to lead in a direction. Congress and the Senate are responsible for the specifics. So, tell me Senator Barks-a-lot, why do I not feel blown away by your “specifics” on “improving the health care system?” Please try not to overload my canine brain with all your “specifics” on how you would fight the War on Terror better.

Specifics, I want specifics. I am fairly certain, though, that it would be less pointless and futile to chase my tail than to wait for the Democrats to offer specifics.

Boing! *Eyes Pop*
It’s you fantasy date! Only the hottest of the hot for your conjugal visit. Lucky you.

Lucky for us, we have Mr. Right at The Right Place to unveil the sinister cabal. Sunspot Activity Causes Brief Interruption of Karl Rove’s “Mind-Ray” – Democrats Claim Rare Moment of Sanity.

Vox Poplar, who BTW, is Right About Everything & Don’t You Forget It, showcases a guest blogging gig by the French Prime minister in Les Option Nuclear.

Mmmmm…
These folks have earned themselves a conjugal visit with the local sweetie they’ve been crushing on. They may not have plastic surgery enhanced looks, but they more than make up for it with charm.

Bob at either orr presents Conservatives mentally deficient, liberal shrinks’ study claims.

Elisson at Blog d’Elisson lampoons a guy that’s a little too enthusiastic about his Nice Shoes. Profanity Warning!

Self-Serve
Or rather self-serving. The Carnival of Comedy is about highlighting our own creativity, not someone else’s. I could repost Frank J’s latest In My World, throw a source link in at the end, and submit it to the carnival. That would be just as inappropriate as what Ironman did.

Ironman at Political Calculations presents Why I Didn’t Become an English Major. I suspect it had to do with submitting someone else’s work to the Carnival of Comedy.

Be sure to do all you can to support IMAO, and Spacemonkey, without whom, there would be no Carnival of Comedy. Also, check out the semi-annual (or is it quarterly? I keep forgetting) IMAudiO at IMAOPodcast.com.

The upcoming schedule is as follows:
February 2nd – #40: Taleena at Sun Comprehending Glass
February 9th – #41: OPEN! Some unsuspecting schmuck – It could be you! Email Spacemonkey at flyingspacemonkey AT gmail DOT com to host.
February 16th – #42: Sherlock at Bakerstreet

Come, to think of it. I think there is a grim milestone. I think I am the First!!! person, not directly affiliated with IMAO, to host twice. I may be wrong, but I doubt it because Fitch Is Always Right. (FIAR)

Submit your own entries to the next Carnival here or here.

Are you still here? Run along! It’s a conjugal visit, not a marriage.
