The sales tax increase may be an ideological cause for concern, but it certainly isn’t a rational one.
People talk about going to the outside counties (ie. Bucks, Chester, etc., at a 6% sales tax) or going to Delaware (for a 0% sales tax). I would only do this for big purchases (note cars are taxes where they are registered, not purchased), and I would likely do that regardless of the Philadelphia sales tax anyway.
It wouldn't be Islam Awareness Week without Islamo-Facism Awareness Week. Perennial attention-whore and ivory-tower hater David Horowitz (Rightweb), in cooperation with former-Senator Rick Santorum (Rightweb) are traversing the country to make you aware of the Phantom Muslim Menace. Their plan brings IFAW to 26 campuses with 37 events, with a who's who of wingnuttery. You can 'learn' more about this travesty of logic at TerrorismAwareness, as if you had no idea what terrorism is…
Those Yellow Elephants sure are keeping their heads down, though. I see unbelievably low participation in the various IFAW-realted groups and events on Facebook. True to form, the shrieking harpies and hardcore wingnuts are not blaming their own failed ideologies for the lack of participation, but rather the usual suspects, the librul media, the secular universities, and other terrrahrist sympathizers. Alas, I see nothing on the RightWingFacebook stirring support either. Kids today…
