Magnifisyncopathological: Ups and Downs

May 15, 2003

Ups and Downs

Samizdata has been down all damn day. No British libertarian group-blogging goodness during work SUCKS.

Boo!

But my Concealed Handgun License application status has changed from "Processing Application" to ""Application Completed - license issued or certificate active." I'm waiting for the friendly government mailperson to drop off my license allowing me to rain leaded DEATH upon the hearts of those who oppose me! AH-HAHAHAHAHA!

Yay!

But the Senate wussed out and only passed a $350 billion tax cut package, entirely missing the point of cutting taxes in the first place. I wonder if any of these people understand basic economics.

Boo!

But Umm Qasr has made the first transition from US military rule to Iraqi civilian rule and it seems we've gotten seriouser about the security problems over there.

Yay!

But then I hear about the Austin City Council's possible plans (link rots after one day) for addressing a $55 million budget shortfall.

Midway through a bleak briefing on a grim budget Wednesday, Austin City Council members ran through eight scenarios about how next year's finances might shape up.

Seven of the scenarios involved a higher tax rate.

BOO!!!

But then I hear about the good chance a serious movie version of Atlas Shrugged is in the works. Now the important question...Who should play what?

Yay!

I'll just leave it at that. This could go on for days.

Boo?
