I did find a dog... rabid... but a dog none the less, in this fight...
CBS News January 29, 2012 2:03 PM RNC Chair Priebus compares Obama to Captain Schettino Quote:
Michael Steele, where are you in this time of need ? It's a shame the Republican's can't do any better than this. Their candidates can't stand one another, so how do they expect the nation's voting public to elect any one of them. To boot, they elect this guy" to be Chairman of the Republican National Committee. If the Republicans keep this up, Merc and UG will be voting for Obama |

And I missed old Bob this weekend! I can just imagine the look on his face. What was his response?
I love Bob. |

Yes, I've seen him when he was upset with an interviewee,
but most of the time he's an old-school, courteous reporter. This time he was just incredulous and asked Priebus to repeat the remark. The link above has the video |

I will watch the link later. Thanks!
I remember Bob, during one more stupid thing by the McCain/Palin campaign, repeating incredulously "WHAT were they THINKING?" He's awesome! |

My OWN reply is belated. You had made your post about capitol gains being like saving back on 1-24.
It is my feeling that comparing capitol gains to saving makes it sound like peope just tucking away what they can in their savings accounts down at the local bank. There is simply no comparison between the two. |

Almost everything you own and use for personal or investment purposes is a capital asset. Including your home, household furnishings, stocks and bonds even your personal savings account.

I think this line's mostly filler.

A savings account may be an asset, but unless your savings account is in a foreign currency, it's not going to make any capital gains. Interest is ordinary income.
(and I'm not sure if foreign currency inflation/deflation is counted as capital gains for tax purposes, though I wouldn't be surprised) (further edit: sometimes)

It runs counter to what I understand. I agree about your sale of your home being a capital gain - after personal exclusion(s), cost of improvements and any losses. But I believe: ... household furnishings are personal property ... stocks and bonds (gains and losses) are taxed as capital gains ... your personal savings account is taxed as ordinary income Some, but not all, states do have personal property taxes on things like mobile home, boats, RV's etc. |

Romney and the press are beginning to believe Romney's lead in the Florida
GOP campaign... with no small measure of gloating thrown into the mix. Dana Milbank has written a scathing article about the demise of the Gingrich campaign. Washington Post Opinions Dana Milbank 1/20/12 The end of the road for Newt Gingrich? Quote:

I heard Chris Matthews today say that if the newt can hang on till Super Tuesday he'll have a bunch of states that would be more in tune with him. I guess those other southern states are full of Tea Partiers. (shrug)
Then again I never thought he was a serious candidate anyway. Nor did I think he had a chance in hell of doing anything.
