President Obama has been pitching his plan to increases taxes on high earners by using the following example that he has been repeating all over the country : “Warren Buffett’s secretary shouldn’t pay a higher tax rate than Warren Buffett. There is no justification for it.” The Buffett secretary comparison has become the go-to talking point for everyone supporting the proposed tax increases.

GOP Debate Open Thread

enlarge Credit: John Cole / Scranton Times-Tribune This is the third debate in 15 days for a party who really (really) loves to repeat themselves. They’re more for saying the same things over and over again than expanding on an idea. So good thing they’re debating so often this month. The real story is the race started late because not enough “real” candidates had announced by May when the Reagan Library debate was originally scheduled. So this pile up is a result of procrastination. Speaking of putting things off – or off-putting things – the first deadline to get on the ballot is Oct. 31 (that’s for Florida) and Sarah Palin told Hannity this week she’ll make a decision if she’s running by Nov. Which says it all really. Tonight we have former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson joining the fringe. Brace yourself for a night of “Gary Johnson, who?” jokes. You know, the ones normally reserved for Jon Huntsman. Check out all the cartoons about the GOP debates here .

The latest notables to trade spouses on Celebrity Wife Swap will be Ted Haggard and Gary Busey. No good can come of this. In what’s already a dicey premise for a reality show — two men trade wives and have camera crews follow them around as each woman tries to fix the other man’s home

KDDI may get iPhone 5, putting an end to Softbank’s exclusivity in Japan

The walls of tyrannical exclusivity may soon come crashing down in Japan. According to Nikkei , “officials” in the know have indicated that KDDI is gearing up to release the iPhone 5 on its network, thus ending competitor SoftBank’s reign as the iconic device’s sole provider in the Land of the Rising Sun . As we’ve come to expect in the days leading up to official Apple announcements, the details are incredibly scant. SoftBank, the third-largest carrier in the country, has been inching closer and closer to second-place KDDI with very little breathing room left; it’s understandable, then, that the latter would be eagerly awaiting the end of iPhone exclusivity to make an agreement with Apple and boost its subscriber count. As it’s all hearsay for the time being, we’ll just have to wait a little while longer before we know every detail on the mystery device(s).
