Once in Haight Free Radio, and now yet again! Also Whiskey Club Band. Multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire (or ordinaire maybe). Also the puters and the interwebs.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

"Republican fearmongering about 'death panels' and 'big government' coming to take away people’s health care (which was never true) inspired Republicans to put in anti-Obamacare amendments (that they never needed) that are now thwarting Republican attempts to actually take away people’s health care. It’s an irony so delicious I hope Alanis Morissette writes a song about it."

Holy shit. Grover Norquist has finally met a tax that fucks over the poor and middle class that he *doesn't* like, even if only on strategic grounds:

"...Norquist criticized the... Fair Tax Act as 'a free gift to Democrats' and... also expressed concern that [it]... would... create a universal basic income...

'The ads you can run are that so-and-so wants to add a 30 percent sales tax... devastating to middle-income people. That’s a pretty rough ad."

Democrats hammer GOP plan to impose national sales tax, abolish IRS

Democrats are seizing on a Republican proposal to impose a national sales tax and abolish the IRS as a cudgel against the GOP, despite little chance of the bill passing.
