I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Ron Wyden and the estate tax

Over at Blue Oregon Jon Perr has a post on the estate tax and how Oregon Senator Ron Wyden is destined to be a key player. I'm not going to cut and paste, just head over to Decision Time for Wyden on the Dynasty Dividend at Blue Oregon. I guess it is simply beyond me how anyone who labels them self a Democrat could vote in favor of abolishing the estate tax; not unlike David Wu's vote for the Bankruptcy Bill.

Money speaks first and it's difficult if not impossible to unseat an incumbent in a primary election. Voters speak last however; perhaps it's time to let these jokers know that if they wish to be elected as Democrats they had better talk like Democrats and vote like Democrats. This isn't the deep south where a Democrat will be punished for voting like a Democrat. If I vote for "none of the above" the Republican will win and if the Democrats are going to vote like Republicans anyway I have nothing to lose.

Speaking of not talking, voting or acting like a Democrat, Marie over at The Left Coaster has still another reason for us to mistrust and dislike Neocon Joe (Lieberman).
