Curmudgeonly & Skeptical

A once and splendid notion

     Add financial wizardry to the long list of Howard Dean's bill of fare.  Gregg Pierce reports that Howie is promising to give students $10,000 for "postsecondary schooling." For those of you not as smart as Vermontians, that means college [I think]. But, Howie, how will you pay for this largesse?  "By repealing all of Mr. Bush's tax cuts."

     BTW, FORTUNE magazine has a chilling article [Taxpayer, Beware!]  about those tax cuts: "Washington will soon be taking back a good chunk of that new tax cut. How? By using the sneakiest trap it's got: the Alternative Minimum Tax."

    I think the French had just one great moment in all their history. The Terror, that saw them behead every politician (A sterile protest it seems. They replaced them with more Frenchies).
