Yesterday I caught up replying to comments and returned all outstanding visits.  Then the inside temperature shot up to over 90\u00b0.  I could not get to sleep last night and have had less than a couple hours, so I\u2019m not sure how I\u2019ll do today.  The Constitution series will continue tomorrow.  I just worked on it for well over an hour and accidently deleted the article on the First Amendment without having saved it.  I\u2019m just too tired to do it again right now.<\/font><\/p>\n

Short Take<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From Think Progress<\/a>: <\/font>But today on Fox News Sunday, Kyl threw his concerns about the deficit out the window when discussing tax cuts. Kyl said Congress should not allow the Bush tax cuts to expire, but when host Chris Wallace asked, \u201cHow are you going to pay the $678 billion to keep Bush tax cuts for the wealthy?\u201d Kyl wouldn\u2019t answer. And in fact, he went so far as to say tax cuts should never have to be paid for.<\/p>\n

This is GOP typical.  They are deficit hawks when it comes to benefitting common people like $30 billion to expend unemployment benefits, but spending $678 billion on the rich is OK.  What hypocrites!<\/font><\/p>\n
