Today's Wall Street Journal reports: John Weaver, 2000 presidential campaign adviser to Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.), "says the GOP now is the party of 'the corporate skybox elite,'" and will now work for Democratic candidates (Wall Street Journal). Weaver: "I certainly have a lot of penance to do" (Wall Street Journal). hotlinescoop.com ******************************************************* You make an excellent point about Baldwin and Bermuda. The hypocrisy of the Right is unbounded. -Ray

I don't have any magic answers to the competitive marketplace that makes companies do these things, nor do I have an answer as to why Alec Baldwin still chooses to live here. Maybe one idea is to reform the way we collect taxes, say a flat tax. Regardless of the humour Erik Engberg and CBS once found in the proposal it would address the byzantine tax laws and consequent special interests that subvert this country. Do you agree or disagree that the individual ends up paying the tax in the end under our present system, either as an employee, stockholder or consumer. Alec seems to truly hate the Bushes. Anyway I think Posner got the law right and Alec is just overly emotional about his party's loss.
