corporate loopholes about taxing wealthy people off the table. his my way or the highway approach is what is standing in the way of getting an agreement. lawmakers are seeking $2 trillion in debt cuts to convince their colleagues to improve the debt ceiling. listening to the soundbytes, the question you got last night at the book signing. nobody wants to compromise. how do you get anything done? let s throw that question to the table. obviously republicans don t want to touch tax increases. tina, it looks like we are going now, john boehner suggesting they are going to blow through the august 2nd deadline. you need revenue generating ideas as well as tax cuts.
writers, such good writing. that s true. it s based on the character from two and a half men. also a side note also with charlie sheen, we re talking about him being single again. one of the goddesses, the last of the goddesses, has bailed. his orgy of goddesses, it s all disappeared. apparently they ve broken up as well. the other goddess, bree olsen, she left him back in april via text message, by the way. i don t know what else to say about charlie. i feel his whole life has gone off the rails. they said they were babysitting their twins. so creepy. that s why you don t do that. let s move on to prince harry and pippa middleton. go on. evidently they are not dating. just in case you re not sure about that. that s devastating. they say there s nothing going on between the two of them. prince harry did break up with chelsea davey again last month, but he says he s 100% single, nothing going on with the two of them, no hope of bringing both families together.
