It is the unfounded rumor that never dies: You will have to pay a 3.8 percent federal health care tax on the sale of your house.
For all but a handful of taxpayers, this is not true. It is wrong. It is urban myth. It is the revenue equivalent of death panels

To the tiny handful of my readers on the wrong side of the argument:
1. If you got all butthurt because you love Michigan, small towns, and/or cows, you’re being ridiculous. I wasn’t talking about you. Get over yourself.
2. I was only talking about one particular simpleton, and yes, I am aware that I was making an ad hominem attack. Fuck that guy.
3. I know that makes me an asshole. I’m perfectly comfortable with that.
4. Being an asshole isn’t the same thing as being arrogant. I don’t think I’m better than that guy, but my moral philosophy is certainly more sophisticated than his.
5. Yes, less educated people tend to be more ignorant. Sorry if that offends your delicate sensibilities, but sometimes the truth fuckin’ hurts.
6. If I’m coming off as classist, tough shit. That’s why they call it a culture war. Now pick a side or get the hell off the battlefield.
7. If you are my enemy in the culture war, prepare for some Von Clausewitz level skullduggery. Fuck equal time, fuck civil discourse, and fuck tolerance. I don’t have to engage politely with people who are trying to take away my rights.
Michigan’s Extreme Anti-Abortion Bill Leads the Nation in Batshittery

http://blog.thecoquette.net/post/25129645969
Some of you may be catching wind of a story about some state level Michigan Republicans huffing and puffing because a female representative said the word “vagina” on the floor of the House.
Ignore this story. It is a sideshow.
Instead, please turn your attention to this guy. http://www.gophouse.com/welcome.asp?District=103 His name is Bruce Rendon, and he is a state representative from a tiny little backwater town in northwest bumble-fuck Michigan with a population of less than 1000.
Bruce Rendon is not an evil man, just a simple one. He has an associates degree in how to draw a straight line. He’s in the construction business just like his daddy used to be, and his idea of a god-fearing good time is judging dairy cows at county fairs. That’s fine. The world needs men who pin prize ribbons on cattle, but those men should not be given the power to legislate the complexities of biomedical ethics. That’s how wars on women get started.
You see, this pointy-headed numnard recently introduced House Bill 5711, a ham-fisted piece of legislation that’s being called the nation’s most restrictive anti-abortion bill. All the ridiculousness on the floor of the Michigan House is a direct result of this ignorant piece of draconian drivel.
It’s unsophisticated men like Bruce Rendon who in their righteousness are fucking things up for the rest of us, and though he may not be an evil man, that doesn’t make him any less an enemy, and I personally believe it’s always a good thing to know your enemy’s name.
Go fuck yourself, Bruce Rendon.

Fast & Furious Inanity Reaches New Heights
—By Kevin Drum
I'm pretty sure I've never blogged anything about the Fast & Furious program, which has long struck me as a fairly ridiculous invented controversy that Republicans care about only because (a) it involves guns, and (b) it involves the Obama administration. Darrell Issa, one of the GOP's star attack dogs, more or less admitted the fever swamp origins of tea party outrage over Fast & Furious when he told Sean Hannity that Obama was using the program to "somehow take away or limit people's Second Amendment rights."
that must be a quote from when your hero George Bush was in charge
keep doubling down on stupidity
and keep feeding on shit sandwiches
no problemo
LMAO!... what flaming hypocrites
your hero Bush only had about 300 executive orders including illegal wars, torture, and other various crimes
http://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/orders/
yet the wingnuts have a hissy fit when Obama finally puts his foot down on the deportation nonsense
LOL... what a phony witch-hunt... so typical of right wing hypocrites
fast and furious started under you hero DUMBYA Bush
but Bush says "thanks for blaming it on the black guy!"
republiCONS and tea-pukers are as phony as a 3 dollar bill
"Fast and Furious was also not the first ATF operation to run guns. A report released in January by House Democrats described the plot as “the latest in a series of fatally flawed operations run by ATF agents in Phoenix and the Arizona US Attorney’s Office,” beginning in 2006 with another shuttered plan called Operation Wide Receiver.
duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

don't know much about Rubio, but these comments are sure not going to please the extreme right wingers
Marco Rubio says he would come to the U.S. illegally if he had to
Marco Rubio. (Alan Diaz/AP) Hypothetically, if Marco Rubio were not an American citizen and could not provide food for his family, he says he would cross the border illegally to come to the United States.
While discussing immigration policy in his new memoir, An American Son, Rubio called for "common decency" in dealing with undocumented immigrants and said that if put in a similar position as those who are fleeing destitution, he would break the law, too.
"Many people who come here illegally are doing exactly what we would do if we lived in a country where we couldn't feed our families," Rubio writes in his book, which went on sale Tuesday. "If my kids went to sleep hungry every night and my country didn't give me an opportunity to feed them, there isn't a law, no matter how restrictive, that would prevent me from coming here."
Rubio, a member of a political party that has largely opposed efforts to extend a path to citizenship to those in the country without documentation, has been crafting his own version of an immigration reform bill that would let some children of undocumented immigrants avoid being deported.
Rubio is considered a possible vice presidential running mate for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who spent the primary season voicing opposition to an immigration plan that would give those who came illegally permanent residency or citizenship without returning to their home country first.

Bush Tells Uninsured "Just Go to Emergency Room"
Oh, and another thing... when I worked for the large corporation I always had good health care coverage but never needed it... but now since I am 'self-employed' I pay for my own insurance... unlike the repugnut/teapukers who want to continue to mooch off taxpayers and those responsible enough to pay for their own insurance
face it GEO, you and the teapukers are socialist/marxist/moochers
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-emergency-care-20120619,0,4368008,full.story
Who covers the uninsured?
If the Supreme Court strikes down Obama's health insurance mandate, hospitals still must treat all emergencies — and everyone pays.
WASHINGTON — Trauma surgeons at MedStar Washington Hospital Center didn't know the name of the young man wheeled into the trauma center, unconscious and bleeding from his face and head after being hit by a car. Nor did they know he lacked insurance.
But as they worked to save his life, doctors and nurses at the capital's largest hospital ran a dizzying battery of lab tests and high-tech scans. Surgeons operated repeatedly, at one point removing a portion of his skull to relieve pressure on the brain.
As happens daily in emergency rooms nationwide, the uninsured patient received medical care guaranteed by a generation-old federal mandate that requires hospitals to care for all in need, regardless of ability to pay.
Okay, so because I worked hard for many years, worked for a large corporation for 15 yrs, saved my money, invested in real estate (including sweat equity), put money in a 401k over the years, and also invested in the stock market, that makes me a 'marxist/progressive scumbag'
geo you get more insane by the day, if that's possible
face it geo, you have a severe case of Obama Derangement Syndrome
there's obviously no hope for your insanity
go take a slow walk in fast moving traffic and end your misery
well it's not rocket science is it..

"Ann Romney's Permanent Vacation from Reality"
lmao
House GOP poised to kill bipartisan transportation bill that would create 1.9 million jobs
http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/06/18/501154/house-gop-transportation-deadline/
A long-term transportation package that would re-authorize current spending on highway construction projects and lock-in infrastructure spending for future projects appears all but dead thanks to Republican obstruction in the House of Representatives. With time running out before current authorization ends at the end of the month, House Republicans are demanding the Senate add approval of the Keystone XL pipeline to a transportation bill that already passed with widespread bipartisan support.
House and Senate negotiators have been meeting for weeks — since the Senate passed its bill, 74-22 — to work out a compromise, but the House GOP has repeatedly threatened to walk away unless the pipeline is attached. Now, the legislation is all but dead, an industry source told The Hill.

Queen Anne Approximately
By Charles P. Pierce
at 4:15PM
Remember all those stories about how Ann Romney was Willard's "secret weapon" in his campaign to gull The Help into assisting him in his quest to be the president? Well, they were a crock, as is almost daily demonstrated. She's as much of a walking parody as he is.
"Ann Romney, the wife of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, said Monday that she doubted she and her husband would vacation overseas as frequently as the Obamas if her husband were elected..."I doubt that," Romney replied. "Our vacations and our happiness come from being with our children and our grandchildren." First Lady Michelle Obama has drawn some criticism from conservative radio hosts for her international travel, including a trip to Spain where she lunched with King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia.
Leave aside the following two obvious points: 1) Michelle Obama draws "some criticism from conservative radio hosts" just for being alive. I mean, seriously, AP, this is newsworthy exactly how? You're embarrassing yourself again, and 2) Suddenly, visits with heads of state qualify as vacation time when taken by this particular First Lady. The real point of the paragraph is that only the Romney money is allowed to vacation overseas. And then, of course, it gets worse.
"Ann Romney didn't rule out vacationing at all, noting the Romney family has their "own places for that."
In fact, three of them, including the one in California where Mitt bravely chases away the local stoners.
For the love of Baal, why don't they drop the pretense and just move to Versailles?

What Are the Gobshites Saying These Days?
By Charles P. Pierce
at 1:17PM
Welcome back to the blog's weekly survey of Our National Dialogue, which is, of course, what Handel would have sounded like if he'd composed "The Messiah" to be sung primarily by cormorants.
Before we get to what the gobshites said on our electric television machines, a brief shout-out to some gobshites of the printed word. First, to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who, it is said, is hard at work promoting a new doorstop he's constructed wherein he backs his entire career up over his own feet because, frankly, he doesn't care much about his day job any more. And then there's the mysteriously unincarcerated John Yoo, waxing wroth at the president's new immigration policy because, and I am not making this up, "President Obama’s claim that he can refuse to deport 800,000 aliens here in the country illegally illustrates the unprecedented stretching of the Constitution and the rule of law.” I tried to reach Irony for comment on both of these items, but she had downed 25 Xanax with a fifth of Stoly and was being rushed to the ER. And some people will tell you that print is dead.
It was a bad day for Willard Romney on Face The Nation, and he was unquestionably Sunday's chewiest cluster of fk. Smoke was seen coming from every opening in his head, and there was a nasty sound of grinding gears, and small springs were seen flying from his head. Former McKinley State Department correspondent Bob Schieffer doggedly kept trying to get him to cough up an answer as to whether or not he would repeal the president's executive order regarding young undocumented immigrants. No answer was forthcoming. Hell, no identifiable human speech was forthcoming. First, he said...
"Well, let's step back and — and look at the issue. I mean, first of all, we have to secure the border. We need to have an employment verification system to make sure that those that are working here in this country are here legally and then with regards to these kids who were brought in by their parents through no fault of their own, there needs to be a long-term solution so they know what their status is. This is something Congress has been working on, and I thought we are about to see some proposals brought forward by Senator Marco Rubio and by Democrat senators, but the President jumped in and said I'm going to take this action. He called it a stopgap measure. I — I don't know why he feels stopgap measures are the right way to go and he —
Then, he elaborated...
"Well, as-- as you know, he was — he was President for the last three and a half years, did nothing on immigration. Two years, he had a Democrats' House in Senate, did nothing of permanent or — or long-term basis. What I would do is I'd make sure that by coming into office I would work with Congress to put in place a long-term solution for the-- for the children of those that — that have come here illegally —
Then, he explained...
"Well, it would be overtaken by events, if you will, by virtue of my putting in place a long-term solution with — with legislation which creates law that relates to these individuals, such that they know what their — their stat — setting is going to be —
And, in conclusion...
"We'll — we'll look at that — we'll look at that setting as we — as we reach that. But my anticipation is, I'd come into office and say we need to get this done on a long-term basis, not this kind of a stopgap measure. What — what the President did, he — he should have worked on this years ago. If he felt seriously about this, he should have taken action when he had a Democrat House and Senate, but he didn't. He saves these sort of things until four and a half months before the general election.
Then, both Strunk and White rose from their graves and dragged him off to Hell for crimes against the language. Also, Willard? Using "Democrat" as an adjective makes you sound unbelievably stupid. Pass it on.
(Also, Schieffer mentioned something that I had missed: And Bill Kristol writing in The Weekly Standard this week, says, "We are reaching the time of consequence in our dealing with Iran on nuclear weapons." He says it is time for the President to go to the Congress and say, "I want you to authorize me to be able to use military force, if that becomes necessary. And he says if the President is not willing to do that, then the Congress should do it — themselves. Honest to Christ, Bill Kristol belongs in a fking cage. How do you eat with that much blood on your hands?)
Along came the panel, featuring Rich (Sparkle Pants) Lowry, who plainly hadn't been watching the program in the Green Room.
"I expect, obviously, Romney has not stuck on an answer on this yet. I — I suspect he'll have to say he will repeal this executive action but he'll endorse basically the Rubio plan which does it legislatively.
Sooner or later, Willard will do something completely unprincipled. Good bet, Sparkle Pants. And then, of course, there was some evidence that Rich has not been paying attention for some time now.
"I do think there's a danger here of this move by the President seeming overly political, just like his move on gay marriage, because he is on the record in detail saying he does not possess these powers as President of the United States, and all of a sudden, his view of that apparently changed because he has to win Colorado.
I am typing very... slowly... now. What the president did on immigration was very similar, not to his public endorsement of marriage equality, but to his order to the Justice Department not to enforce the Defense Of Marriage Act. So, when he said he didn't have the power to decide the question of marriage equality in the states, he was speaking the truth. He doesn't, and he isn't pretending to have it. He's just getting the federal government out of the question. No view of his "changed." And God knows, an incumbent president doing things that might help him stay president is just goddamned unprecedented in American politics. Why don't they just say "uppity" and get it over with?
Drifting a few feet above the rest of the panel, on a cloud made up of sweet memories and old chardonnay, Peggy Noonan, the Magic Dolphin Lady, spun her usual witchcraft, advising Willard Romney to be even less coherent than he has been. She's the Sheherazade of the 2-for-1 Happy Hour.
"He's got to go meaningful and graspable. I agree with you, so that people understand what it is, maybe not specifically, but in general, he wants to do, what his priorities are. There is a tendency when you are running for office to want to do constant, quick, bright, applause lines, and there's been a lot of that going on. But a series of applause lines is not a serious statement about this is the trouble we're in, and this is the direction we want to go in.
I'm begging you, Willard, take this advice. Be more... graspable.
Moving along to This Week With George Polysyllables, we find Tim Pawlenty, last seen fleeing the presidential race in sheer terror at the prospect of running against Michele Bachmann, and now working vigorously in the vineyards of the Romney campaign — no, really, it has actual vineyards, and I've seen them ‚ where the finest grapes are stomped into the purest vintage bullshit, and Tim has the purple feet to prove it.
"iVANDEN HEUVEL: Has he saved the auto industry in Mitt Romney's state? Has he?
WILL: We have...
PAWLENTY: Has he saved the auto industry?
(CROSSTALK)
PAWLENTY: That would have been saved under Governor Romney.
Good dog, Tim. Now roll over and play dead because you're not going to be VP. And thank god for Austan Goolsbee, who later made sure that America knew Pawlenty was an ignoramus.
"PAWLENTY: Austan, he had a Democrat Congress.
GOOLSBEE: He had a Democratic Congress...
And Matthew Dowd continued his career-long search for the very essence of uselessness.
"I want to go back to those focus groups we saw, because I think this is what the fundamental problem I think with both political parties in this country and the leadership on both sides of the aisle in this, is there seems to be an inherent incapability to tell the American public the truth, to tell the American public what's ahead for us, to tell the American public that we can no longer do certain things that we have to do, to tell the American public that we have to have a shared sense of sacrifice, that we can no longer have the state of government that we had and we can no longer have the tax policies that we have.
Yes, out abroad in the land, I sense a great hungering to be told we have to screw up our economy as badly as Great Britain and Ireland have screwed up theirs. Good grief.
By comparison, the gobshitery was at something of a minimum on Dancin' Dave's Disco Dance Party, where John McCain made the latest in a series of pathetic stabs for his old reputation as a "maverick," even though the presence of journalistic potato-blight Mark Halperin did offer some promise, especially on a panel with the exceptionally irrelevant Harold Ford, Jr. (D-Green Room). Here's Mark, being banal and making sure his phone calls will be returned no matter what happens in November.
"You know, it's strange, as you say, it's unusual to have both your parents. But I know he doesn't consider himself a politician. He's one term in office in Massachusetts. Thinks of himself as a business person. For those of us who spend a lot of time thinking about how are the president and Mitt Romney similar, how are they different? I think they're both pretty detached from politics.
Romney has been nothing but a politician since the moment he closed down the Olympics. The guy's been running for president for seven goddamn years. I guarantee you that the president is not "pretty detached from politics," either. At your feet or at your throat, I guess.
