The current minimum wage debate is another example of supply-side economics versus demand-side economics, and yet again, not many in the media seem to have a firm grasp of common sense.
John Boehner, Republican, Speaker of the House, when explaining his opposition to raising the minimum wage, stated, "When you raise the price of employment, guess what happens? You get less of it," and yet nobody with a microphone immediately shouted the logical follow up: "Wait, what?"
By extending John Boehner's reasoning: Slavery would be great for our economy.
Republicans are shoveling the idea that raising the minimum wage will hurt our economy because raising the cost of employment will cause a decrease in employment.
This argument is predicated upon the belief that employers hire employees because they have the money (supply) to do so.
This is the same type of claim as "tax cuts create jobs", and both claims are ridiculously false.
We do not have a supply-side economy, we have a demand-side economy: Employers do not hire employees because they HAVE money, employers hire employees because they WANT money.
Tax cuts don't create jobs, WORK creates jobs; and raising the minimum wage will not decrease employment because employment is not contingent upon wage (supply), employment is determined by work (demand).
A restaurant owner does not hire a server because he is getting a tax cut or because he HAS money, a restaurant owner hires a server because he WANTS money.
If a restaurant owner does not have enough servers to satisfy his customers (demand), then demand for his product (restaurant) is going to decrease; and if demand for his product decreases, then the restaurant owner is not going to make much money.
And just because a restaurant owner has a lot of money (supply), that doesn't mean that he is going to hire a lot of servers. Because if a restaurant owner hires too many servers, then there isn't going to be enough work (demand) for the servers, and if there isn't enough work for the servers, then the servers aren't going to make much money in tips.
And if a server can't make much money at a restaurant, then the good servers are not going to want to work at that restaurant. And if a restaurant cannot hire good servers then the restaurant is not going to have good service, and if the restaurant doesn't have good service, then it's not going to be able to satisfy its customers.
And if a restaurant owner cannot satisfy his customers (demand), then demand for his product (restaurant) is going to decrease; and if demand for his product decreases, then yadda yadda yadda...
Furthermore, a minimum wage increase will positively affect our economy because minimum wage earners are mostly poor people, and poor people are basically walking stimulus packages.
Since a poor person has more needs (demand) than he has money (supply) every cent that a poor person gets is almost immediately spent on goods & services, and therefore, quickly recycled back into the economy.
Poor people are not investing their income in 401(k) or stashing their earnings in offshore tax shelters. When a poor person gets a dollar, a poor person spends a dollar; and that dollar is going to other employers, such as restaurant owners, and to other employees, such as servers.
It's not rocket science!

***BREAKING NEWS***
POLITICS. WASHINGTON, D.C.
AP is reporting that the first draft of Dick Cheney's memoirs have been rejected. Anonymous sources claim an editor was heard yelling, "I wanted to read about his time in the White House, not another novel defending the virtues of Mephistopheles!"
SPORTS. OHIO DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS.
Former Ohio State running back, Maurice Clarrett, has filed another lawsuit against the NFL. According to lawyers familiar with the case, Clarrett is now claiming that he should have been allowed to enter the draft early since the Minnesota Vikings were just allowed to sign a baby!

"...And All I Got Was This Lousy Pantsuit."
Why is Hillary Clinton's campaign debt still an issue? She spent more than she had, she bought stuff that she couldn't afford, and she did it out of spite – She deserves to be in debt.
Most of the time that she was saying she was being "out-spent" by her opponent, she was lying. She wasn't being "out-spent," she was being "out-raised."
She spent just as much as Barack Obama, and all in an effort to damage Obama. Her spending $30 million, cost Obama $30 million, so in essence she cost Democratic Party contributors an unnecessary $60 million dollars.
And where are these "18 million supporters" of hers? Do you realize that these "18 million supporters" of Hillary Clinton support her less than they regularly support a homeless person? If these "18 million supporters" thought Hillary's existence was worth merely the spare change in their pockets, she wouldn't have any debt.
The fact that Hillary still has a campaign debt means that there aren't 20 million people in this country who care $1 for her...which is fine - I say let the real world happen. Let Hillary have to start screening her calls because pestering bill collectors are calling at all hours. Maybe one will call at 3am.

Idiots-Free
Just my luck! The first day of California's new "hands-free" driving law, and I get a ticket. I guess "speeding while under the influence" is illegal now, too?
As far as I'm concerned, if a person can't drive while talking on a cell phone it's not the cell phone's fault. We don't need a "hands-free" law we need an "idiots-free" law – It should be illegal to drive while being an idiot.
And part of this "idiots-free" law would make it illegal to wash a windshield while driving in front of me. An idiot might have a dirty windshield, but I didn't...'til now, so thanks, asshole!
Just because an idiot wants to wash his windshield doesn't mean that I want to wash mine, and yes, I realize that it takes getting an automobile up to 65 mph before it is possible for an idiot to deduce that the windshield is too unclean to operate the vehicle, but that doesn't mean that it's okay to spritz and leave water spots on the 20 cars that unfortunately happen to be traveling within a quarter of a mile behind said idiot.
And while I'm feeling litigious, I think the criminal justice system should be revamped so that defendants have the option of pleading, "guilty," "not guilty," or "bitch deserved it."
Imagine the time saved on domestic violence cases.
(**DISCLAIMER - DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS NOT FUNNY...unless the chick beats up the dude then it's fucking hilarious**)

No MObama
I don't think that it's a good idea for the Obama campaign to give Michelle Obama a more public role, and it could cost Barack the election.
I realize that they are going after Hillary Clinton supporters but it could backfire – Michelle could become a "Hillary" – the bigger, easier, visceral target for the Right.
Michelle is no Oprah and it is going to be hard enough trying to convince America to vote for an educated Black man. To ask them to vote for a strong Black woman is too much...And she has a weird mouth – it kind of looks like the mouth of an evil rabbit nibbling on cookies.
Yes, I realize that what I just wrote is chauvinistic, racist, and superficial, but that's the way it is – this is America Goddammit!
Be mad at your parents if you're thin-skinned,

Not Too Impotent, Harumpa!
All right, finally an issue that lets me express my non-partisan, extremely moderate views...
It isn't right the way the "liberal media" is treating John McCain's "not too important" remark. (Now, just because I don't think that it's right doesn't mean that I think it's unfair. The "right-wing media" has been practicing this type of conduct for years so for the "left" to merely counter with the same maneuver is reasonable and, as the saying goes, "turnabout is fair play." But it does reinforce, and slightly justify, claims of a "left-wing media bias.")
But it's not right the way the press is blowing John McCain's "not too important" gaffe out of proportion because John McCain was making a perfectly legitimate point – the problem with Iraq isn't that our soldiers are there, the problem with Iraq is that our soldiers are continuing to die there, (and the stop-loss policy which requires them to serve against their will for an administration that opposes paying for their college education, but that's another blog). But what McCain said makes perfect sense – our military forces have been in Germany, Japan, and Korea way longer than they have been in Iraq but there isn't a nationwide uproar demanding that we bring our troops home from those countries because our soldiers aren't continuing to die on a daily basis in Germany, Japan, and Korea.
The problem with Iraq is that the controversial war there has been so terribly mismanaged that our brave men and women are continuing to unnecessarily die there.
The problem with John McCain is that, when doing interviews, he resembles a beginner stand-up comic at his first open mic, (and he's nuttier than squirrel shit, but again, that's another blog).
John McCain is like a guy who loves comedy, has studied all of the greats, and can recite verbatim his favorites' routines; he's a funny guy, he's written a lot of funny jokes, and he has what he thinks is a very tight set, but then, when he gets on stage, he bombs because he doesn't understand the practical nuances of stand-up comedy. Not only has he not figured out the dynamic between the comic and the crowd, but more importantly, John McCain hasn't realized that not all types of jokes work for all types of comedians – John McCain hasn't found his comedic voice.
Whereas Barack Obama can say that McCain would just be a third Bush term and it works, McCain tries to say that Obama would be a second Carter term and it doesn't. Not just because his statement causes the listener to realize that McCain was in his forties during the Carter administration, and not just because it's a little silly that a guy has to go back three decades just to be relevant, but because when McCain says it, it's forced.
Obama's routine flows – it's motivated and it appears natural. McCain's bits are clumsy – they aren't set up and he seems to be trying too hard. Instead of reacting to what McCain says we're left pondering why and how he said it.
The "not too important" comment stands out because it didn't really answer Matt Lauer's question. McCain wasn't trying to say that it's "not too important" for the next president to have a good estimate of when our troops can come home from Iraq, McCain was trying to say that the question Lauer asked was "not too important" because he had recently figured out how to deflect and neutralize such criticism. But because McCain couldn't wait to reveal the punch line, he bungled the delivery, and, as the saying goes, "timing is everything."
The real story behind McCain's recent comments is that they reveal that what is going on in John McCain's head is different than what is going on. Like a teenager who wants so desperately to be cool that he wears his brand-new, hip sweater to school even though it’s a humid 94 degrees out, John McCain can't wait to show off his latest one-liner because he honestly believes that a superficial quip is what secures 270 electoral votes.
McCain is grossly outmatched in this election but twisting his words is only counter-productive because it will cause his supporters to become emotionally involved with his defense. If this campaign is kept on an intellectual battleground, the current administration's philosophies don't stand a chance, but if this becomes another election against the "liberal media," the Democrats could be in trouble. And regardless of the issues, if McCain starts finishing his sentences with "hurumpa!," Obama won't be occupying the White House any time soon.

What If She's Right?
Kids, it's that time again...Time for another episode of..."What if She's Right?"
In emails, speeches, and to the media ad nauseam, Hillary Clinton and her team say that she has received "more votes than any candidate...in the history of the Democratic Party..."
Yes, she spent more money to campaign in more primaries, arguably unopposed, than any other candidate in history, and what about caucus votes, but still...what if she's right? Wouldn't that mean that Hillary Clinton, the lady who received more primary votes than any other candidate in the history of the Democratic Party yet still couldn't get enough delegates to win the nomination, is the biggest failure in the history of the Democratic Party?
Next time on "What If She's Right?" Sean Hannity and the "most radical elements in American society..."

The Truth Is...
Welcome to another installment of "The Truth Is..."
Hillary Clinton says that her staying in the Democratic primary isn't hurting the Democrats' chances in the general election and that she is the better presidential candidate...
The truth is...Here on Earth, giving an opponent a three month head start is bad. Not only is Hillary hampering the DNC's ability to raise money because they don't have a candidate yet, but she is giving John McCain, a 72 year-old man who "misspeaks" when he is tired, over three months to rest. If Hillary doesn't think she is hampering the Democrats' chances in the fall she is either wrong or lying...again.
The truth is...Barack Obama is the better presidential candidate because, though half of the people in this country might not vote for Barack, half of the people in this country will definitely vote against Hillary.
There isn't a more polarizing political figure than Hillary Clinton. Even if she was just running for the local school board, nobody on the Right will stay home if Hillary Clinton is on the ballot. And it's not just the Right, there are Independents and Democrats who absolutely despise the lady. Hillary rubs people the wrong way, she always has, and it's not just because she's a woman, (but it is partly because she says it's just because she's a woman). Hillary is one of these people that cause strangers' intuition to say "careful with this one." They don't know why, they don't have evidence to support their gut feeling, but they have an instinct. And for the people who had this inkling but were evolved enough to not prejudge, her presidential campaign has only confirmed their deepest suspicions.
The truth is...The majority of Americans know that had any other Democratic candidate won the primaries in Florida and Michigan, Florida and Michigan wouldn't have been an issue.
The truth is...Had Obama made the "sniper fire" claims, his campaign would have been over in less than a week because Obama supporters would not stand for a dishonest candidate, (which is why they're Obama supporters).
The truth is...Hillary Clinton lost the Democratic primary three months ago. And, whether she lost because of a terrible campaign strategy, whether she lost because of gender bias, or whether she lost because of a "disrespectful" media, the truth is...She lost!
But what is most troubling to Obama supporters, and reinforcing to Hillary haters, is that since losing, Hillary has embarked on a campaign to make sure that no Democrat will become president in 2008.
Maybe Hillary hopes that John McCain's head start is insurmountable, but luckily, the truth is...before the primaries started, most people thought Hillary's lead was insurmountable too.

Hillabeans Clinton
A few weeks ago Hillary Clinton proclaimed that if the Democratic Party's primary process had the Republicans' rules she'd already had won the nomination. In a related, yet way less reported, story - If soccer was baseball you wouldn't get a point for kicking a goal.
She was asserting that she is the better candidate because the general election is based on states won not the popular vote. This week Hillary says she should be the Democratic Party's nominee because she leads Barack Obama in the popular vote.
In less than a month Hillary has said that she is the better candidate because she leads in the popular vote and because the popular vote doesn't matter.
"I have never seen a candidate so disrespected..."

McCain's "Just" Visiting
John McCain approved of and supports the Bush administration's invasion and subsequent "war in Iraq" but has recently been insinuating that Barack Obama isn't qualified to make policy decisions on Iraq because Obama hasn't visited Iraq in over four years. How many times did George W. Bush visit Iraq before he authorized the unilateral, preemptive, military action to overthrow its government?
Also, I’ve decided that one can be for the invasion of Iraq and against the handling of the war in Iraq, but one cannot be for the handling of the war in Iraq and for the invasion because all explanations that justify why Iraq is the clusterfuck that it is are reasons why the Bush administration should not have rushed into the "go-it-alone" invasion of Iraq.

Surrender Reason
This presidential campaign has got my juices flowing and hopefully I'll get back to frequent posting...
In response to being heckled during a speech Sen. John McCain said he would "never surrender in Iraq."
"Surrender"? Didn't we attack Iraq? Attackers can't "surrender," attackers can only "stop attacking."
When a rapist stops raping his victim and runs away, the cops don't say that the rapist "surrendered" to the victim.
Only defenders can "surrender." When attackers stop attacking it's not called "surrendering," it's called "leaving."
