Hail to the Taxers

from the WSJ Actor Jeff Daniels makes a cool pitchman in those national TV spots inviting business to Michigan, but soon he may have to start pitching inside the state. At about 2 a.m. Monday, a handful of Republicans in the Legislature broke days of gridlock and handed Democratic Governor Jennifer Granholm the $1.48 billion tax increase she has been demanding.

Unbelievable and Yet Inescapable

(Not that I ever thought they were anything but the worst people in the world, you understand.)

Upgrade to WordPress 2.3 in the works

I'll be upgrading this site to WP 2.3 in the next few days. I mention this because on Slashdot today, there appeared an incorrect and misleading article in which the writer claimed that this new version sends confidential information about registered users to WP developers.
