This may be the best single, do-able tax idea in a generation. Conservatives and the makers of TurboTax want to keep your taxes difficult By James Downie April 15 How long did it take you to do your taxes this year? Hours? Days? Or did you pay someone to do it for you? Every year, millions...

Carly Fiorina, pink nail polish and sexism By Jonathan CapehartApril 16 Carly Fiorina was rather impressive fielding pointed questions from beltway reporters taking their measure of her. The potential aspirant for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination held forth on Iran, religious...

Republicans in Congress strike another blow for freedom! By Dana Milbank Opinion writer April 14 Give credit to Republicans in Congress. They’ve discovered, belatedly, that income inequality is a problem, and they’re no longer proposing to give tax breaks to the wealthiest 2 percent of...

The data he has presented convinces me that the globe has warmed over the last 100 years, and that human activity has accounted for some portion of that warming.

He convinced me.

When work isn’t enough to keep you off welfare and food stamps By Emily Badger April 14 We often make assumptions about people on public assistance, about thewoman in the checkout line with an EBT card, or the family who lives in public housing. We make assumptions about how they spend...

Whatever extent you like.

I'm on waldo's side here. AGW is real.

I hear a lot of talk about "rights." You have a right to do this, or a right to do that, or think this or that, or believe this or that. Nowadays you have a "right" to receive this or that. But there ain't no point in debating a concept you can't define. So, I'll leave it up to the members...

Law school is way too expensive. And only the federal government can fix that. By David Lat April 8 There’s no shortage of lawyers in this country. Only 57 percent of 2013 law school graduates obtained full-time legal jobs nine months after graduation. Yet the federal government...

Don't matter nohow. You don't have to be a credentialed expert to be right. And you certainly don't need to be one to review the work done for consistency and credibility. It's a false trail, waldo, a red herring. No point chasing it.

That actually doesn't matter. You don't need a degree to do or understand science. Thomas Edison did OK without one. So does an inventor friend of mine who dropped out of Princeton because they kept telling him he couldn't do things he knew he could. And he was right. I'm rethinking this...

Heh-heh. You probably don't even get that you just proved my point.

No, it's me claiming that we don't know. Reading comp is a challenge for some folks. Usually ones that use lots of exclamation marks. Y'know, waldo, you're obviously quite intelligent and well informed. I'd be happy to actually thrash this out with you. But your emotional deficiencies make...

You mean like. . . "that you absolutely have nothing subject matter related to offer... other than posting nonsense and insults, ya gots nuthin! That's what I'm talking about, hey!" Yeah, you're an intellectual powerhouse, you are. I had an interesting, informative, polite debate with...

You're the one making the claim. The burden of proof is on you.

I think he wants to use the revenues from carbon credits to help Frodo and Samwise get the One Ring to Mount Doom. Which I have to agree with, actually. I'm very pro-hobbit.

OK, so now post your data on the 99+% of plant life that isn't agricultural.

Seriously? Agriculture? You seriously believe that agriculture is a significant factor in plant growth? With 90% of the CO2-absorbing, oxygen-emitting plants being sea plants, and 90+% of the land plants on the planet being wild, non-agricultural plants, you honestly think that the <1% of...
