		<description>Alright, Pinko, if you keep this pro- taxation diversification rant up, I may just have to ship your ass off to one of Putin&#039;s Siberian gulags with a Soviet era Pushkin pin! Observe:   &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sadcom.com/cgi-bin/pins_search.pl&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.sadcom.com/cgi-bin/pins_search.pl&lt;/a&gt;

-Might go well with your Mao watch. Just sayin&#039; ;P</description>

		<description>Card-carrying KNPR member, baby!

I actually hate A&amp;E stuff usually. Too much useless fluff out there.

However, potential recession notwithstanding, I&#039;m tired of whiny Nevadans who want services and won&#039;t pay for them. I&#039;m tired of businesses coming here to make money off our people but not putting back into the coffers to help provide for those people.

And note, I wrote &quot;Republican dolts such as Jim Gibbons.&quot; I&#039;m no party-line-toter. Most so-called &quot;liberals&quot; can suck it too. ;)</description>

		<description>Taxation diversification? Are you kidding me? Yah, that&#039;s really going to bode well with local Nevadans, and with Bernanke&#039;s predictions on the horizon &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7085398.stm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7085398.stm&lt;/a&gt; you can bet that many will be lining up to cast their ballots for said taxation diversification. Don&#039;t be so quick to point the AK-47 at Republicans. Take Raggio, for instance &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2007/nov/04/566665065.html?anti-tax,%20gibbons&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2007/nov/04/566665065.html?anti-tax,%20gibbons&lt;/a&gt;

Not ALL Republicans are dolts, and, if you dig a little bit deeper, you may find that liberals are just as disappointing. Diversification of taxes is not the issue, rather one should investigate allotment of revenue funds. Although, I am extremely impressed by your knowledge of current affairs; I had you pegged for an A &amp; E junkie. Since when did you start caring about the news?</description>

		<description>I was just kinda have some fun with speculation. But in the case of the WGA, there is no such thing as &quot;there will always be someone willing to work for lower pay.&quot; As a number of current and former WGA members pointed out to me after I posted something about the strike on my other blog (&lt;a href=&quot;http://pjperez.livejournal.com/183127.html),&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://pjperez.livejournal.com/183127.html),&lt;/a&gt; pretty much, if you write for TV or movies, you&#039;re WGA, and you&#039;re striking. There are no &quot;reservists.&quot; If that were an option, the next season of &quot;Heroes&quot; would be written by yours truly. ;)

On the flipside, yeah, in Vegas, we&#039;d find cheaper labor in about a week. But don&#039;t ruin my apocalyptic fantasies. Hey, at least I didn&#039;t even mention the fact that because of Republican dolts such as Jim Gibbons, we&#039;d lose all our tax revenue, as well, since they can&#039;t seem to vote for taxation diversification in Nevada.</description>

		<description>Charming, but don&#039;t you think that you are perhaps running with the ever-so alluring and slightly misleading &quot;Chicken Little&quot; syndrome a tad bit? The Writer&#039;s Guild is, after all, a union.

And not everyone in the aforementioned industries is associated with a union. Being that union membership has declined drastically in the past decade and continues to do so, and with the &quot;right to work&quot; statutes as state law, there will always be someone willing to work for lower pay.

I do believe you are going into overdrive on this one, however, the IHT citation was enough to have me forget the melodramatic, hyperbolic scenario and admire your choice of sources.</description>
