A Crystal Clear Choice

a) Our Choice
Spot on article in today's WSJ: Taxes: A Defining Issue

QOTD

"If the Obama presidency didn't exist, we would have to invent it.

At a time when the American people need to make some decisions about the nation's purpose, along comes Barack Obama to make the choices crystal clear."
- WSJ editorial honcho, source

"Taxes define a worldview."
Ding!

Simply, we will have the Obama plan of higher taxes, slower economic growth, and increasing level of government in our every day lives.
Or, we'll have the standard, boring American way of lower taxes, growth through hard work and ownership, and personal responsibility.

Henninger is right: President Obama has made this choice "crystal clear".

We'll see how this plays out in November, but I agree with Bruce Berkowitz, investor dude, and his QOTD below.

QOTD2

"It has never been a good idea to bet against the United States and its people."
- Bruce Berkowitz, investment manager of the Fairholme Fund (FAIRX)

Finally, no conspiracy theories here, but the Obama administration has to love the all the buzz-buzz-buzz over the immigration law in Arizona. Whereas, Bill Clinton's mantra was "It's the economy, stupid"... President Obama's job over the next 3+ months will be to make the issue anything but the economy. Race. Immigration. Environment. Anything.

b) Fruits and Vegetables
We're supposed to get, what, 83 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
Dop.

Well, I have my multi-vitamin. Excellent.
And now, I'm trying new a new deal: V8 V-Fusion
It's supposed to be one serving of fruit and one serving of veggies in a single 8 oz. glass. And it's supposed to taste like fruit punch. And no added salt or sugar... shit, I'm almost organic over here. Oh my!

Anyway, I tried it... the strawberry banana... and it's good.
My brain rebelled at first at the thought of consuming veggies so directly (he he), but I got over it. And in case you're wondering... 120 calories.
Huzzah!

I'll bet this bikini surfer eats her veggies. He he!
healthy schmealthy... yow, bill
