as liberal blogger arianna huffington wrote, obama doesn't care about the middle class, he's just not into you. i'm glad mark used the word hypocrisy. you have a president who has taken more vacations, more golf outings, more parties, burns up more fossil fuel for his 747 and entourage than any president in history and he wants to stick it to people who own three mcdonald's franchises. >> if you look from the join committee on taxation, nonpartisan group, what they say is of the 38 billion dollars in tax increases, we're talking about here, 31 billion would go on people who earn a million or more. if you are making a million dollars a year you are rich. we can't be living on credit forever. we've got to stop it somewhere. i don't think is a bad idea. >> my stats show 75% of the families that would be affected by this tax hike are making between $250,000 and $500,000 a year. a long way from a million. a lot of those people are small business owners and that would hurt job creation of >> the dollar amount would cover the annual pork spending. new irs data shows the upper bracket foots t

it's the huffington post, arianna. the drudge report, drudge, of course, it was pioneer. you have to have a human being as a today in, just as a today in. so i think what i'm trying to do is to find the best writing and journalism and videos and citizen journalism as well as professional journalism and find the best of it and present it everyday through my frontal cortex with my personality with the help of some fellow editors. so that we recreate the magazine or newspaper into what i call a blogozine in which you show up there everyday and you will get every major story out there. i think for me the value i'm trying to add to this experience is actually an editor saying this matters, this doesn't. you come to this page you see it still in linear form but i will edit it and you know it's me editing it and i will be responsible for it and answerable for it and you will be a part of it. so, for example, when the abortionist george tiller was assassinated, i wrote a post saying how awful this was but in an aside i said but i can't defend what he was doing in late-term aborti
