Pay Up for that worthless blog, Free Speech in Philly now costs $300 a year!!

This is the most pathetic and sad thing I've seen in a long time from a desperate liberally run urban center who's sending notices to bloggers to cough up three hundred bucks for a blogger's business license?

Since when did hobby meet the threshold of being a business? I know about 20 people who make more than $50 a month on their blogs, the rest make nothing..

These people waste waste waste and instead of cutting the waste they keep sending us the damn bills. This is just another reason to fire every damn democrat this side of Moscow in the fall and then the republicans who lied to get elected get burned at the stake with the dems kicked out in November.

Maybe they need the money to pay the Black Panthers' to guard all the polling places in November to assure Obama's allies get re elected perhaps?

Pay Up :: News :: Article :: Philadelphia City Paper: "or the past three years, Marilyn Bess has operated MS Philly Organic, a small, low-traffic blog that features occasional posts about green living, out of her Manayunk home. Between her blog and infrequent contributions to ehow.com, over the last few years she says she's made about $50. To Bess, her website is a hobby. To the city of Philadelphia, it's a potential moneymaker, and the city wants its cut.

In May, the city sent Bess a letter demanding that she pay $300, the price of a business privilege license.

'The real kick in the pants is that I don't even have a full-time job, so for the city to tell me to pony up $300 for a business privilege license, pay wage tax, business privilege tax, net profits tax on a handful of money is outrageous,' Bess says.

It would be one thing if Bess' website were, well, an actual business, or if the amount of money the city wanted didn't outpace her earnings six-fold. Sure, the city has its rules; and yes, cash-strapped cities can't very well ignore potential sources of income. But at the same time, there must be some room for discretion and common sense.

When Bess pressed her case to officials with the city's now-closed tax amnesty program, she says, 'I was told to hire an accountant.'

She's not alone. After dutifully reporting even the smallest profits on their tax filings this year, a number — though no one knows exactly what that number is — of Philadelphia bloggers were dispatched letters informing them that they owe $300 for a privilege license, plus taxes on any profits they made.

Even if, as with Sean Barry, that profit is $11 over two years. continued

This was my comment there by the way

This is just nuts. They need bloggers to cough up money so they can waste it on more schoolteacher pensions and out of league salaries and so on? ROTFLMFAO

Just another reason to fire them all in the fall.

GOP attack plan: 'Starve and Subpeona beast' of Pork Filled Congress and Obamacare

Michelle Bachmann has more morality and fortitude than the entire male congress on both aisles put together, as not only has she been consistently against the Obama Big Gov Machine, she also put together a Tea Party Caucus in DC this past week, which many rip, but I happen to think is a good idea, as it gives the Tea Party direct access to the 'machine' until we dismantle it in November.

And her plan on how to accomplish it all sounds just like ours and is Music to My Ears and yours as well..I'm sure.

That would be to "REMOVE-REPEAL-RESTORE and PROSECUTE ALL OBAMACARE and PORKULUS SIGNEES essentially throwing the entire proverbial kitchen sink for all their Obama led unconstitutional 'end arounds' born in this criminal congress which they and GhettObama shoved down our throats and up our backsides Barney style,ever since the second the Messiah 'walked the water' of the DC reflecting pool surrounded by fools on election and inauguration day.

This is on WorldNetDaily this morning. "The following is audio of her comments posted on YouTube by the blog Three Fingers of Politics::"

GOP attack plan: 'Starve beast' of Obamacare: "One GOP lawmaker has already formulated a 2011 plan of attack should Republicans take control of the U.S. House of Representatives: Serve subpoenas, conduct exhaustive hearings and slash funding to 'starve the beast' of the Obama administration's big-government programs.

'Oh, I think that's all we should do,' Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., told the GOP Youth Convention in Washington, D.C., today. 'I think that all we should do is issue subpoenas and have one hearing after another and expose all the nonsense that is going on.'

She added, 'And it's very important when we come back that we have constitutional conservative leadership because the American people's patience is about this big, so we have to make sure that we do what the people want us to do.'

Hear Bachmann, columnist-author Ann Coulter, Alan Keyes, Tom Tancredo, former U.S. Sen. and Adm. Jeremiah Denton, best-selling authors Jerome Corsi and Aaron Klein, 'Saturday Night Live' comedian Victoria Jackson and others at the Taking America Back conference. continue reading GOP attack plan:

Even Daley's In the Sites Of Feds: 'Go swim in the Potomac and fix Oil Spill'

How funny yet sad is this as democrats across the country who are supposed to be in "control" are now the Captains of a rudderless Titanic that just skimmed 2 icebergs and can't seem to steer away from strike three sinking the battleship.

Daley's all 'bent' because he got a threatening letter telling him to 'clean up the Chicago River" clean enough to swim in while "Obama-BP Crime Inc." cant' even plug a hole 5000 feet down for all intents and purposes because liberal land- drilling opposition caused exploration to have to drill to 'hell and back' to deliver oil.

I'm actually with the little troll this time on this one.

Chicago IS one of the cleanest hellhole's you'll ever visit. (it's actually a beautiful place minus all the illegals, the welfare state, the homicides, highest sales taxes in the nation, most rabblerousing reverends in one city, all kinds of good shit like that goin on. I don't think Sinatra would be singin' 'My kind of town' any more)

There's probably more blood on the streets than dirt in the Loop, I'll give him that much.

Mayor Richard Daley says federal officials should concentrate on cleaning the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., and dealing with the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico rather than ordering the clean-up of the Chicago River.

The mayor was responding to an Environmental Protection Agency letter calling on the Chicago River to be made clean enough that it is safe for swimming.

"Go swim in the Potomac," Daley said when asked about the federal position during a City Hall news conference. "We're trying to make this river every day more cleanable.

"Let's figure out what the federal government's going to do for us in regards to cleaning all the tributaries. All the rivers are interstate," he said.

"They just can't make an announcement and walk away and say, 'Well, we did it from Washington, D.C. and that's it,' without even talking to local officials, talking to the governor and everyone else," Daley said.

"They send letters all the time. They should get down to BP and start saving the people down in Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and Alabama, all their lives and their livelihood, instead

Frankly I'm really shocked oil prices aren't skyrocketing to screw us some more. At least they see how pissed off we would be if they even tried to gouge from this disaster. It also shows there's a shitload of oil down there.

So, we're in Jacques Cousteau land instead of in Jedd Clampett or Granny's back yard, better yet behind some Igloo's in Alaska which the Eskimo's are literally begging the Feds to allow it's "Journey to the center of the earth" and this is the result when a $30 battery isn't replaced.
