one of the funniest magazine around . in a recent article , the Weekly Standard propose massively expand the IRS to help pay for the massive debt and budget deficit . which group do the `` Weekly Standard '' say should be target for this increase IRS presence -lrb- and massive increase in tax rate - for some 100 % -rrb- ? the Entertainment industry . the reality tv show contestant , the teen-pop singer and the like . the article note that normally massive taxation would hurt a industry , but with all the people that really want fame , that go all out to get they 15 minute of fame , the industry would continue along -lrb- I be curious if O'Rourke realize that the tax would be apply to similar writer -rrb- . another o'rourke article provide the reader with a alternate Inaugural Address by Bush -lrb- subtitle : `` what if George W. Bush be not a compassionate conservative ... '' ; quote : `` the media say that I win the election on the strength of moral value . if the other fellow have become president , would the media have say that he win the election on the strength of immoral value ? '' -rrb- . in all seriousness , this magazine be a very clear detailed neo-conservative look at the issue -lrb- neo-con ? - interestingly , it would appear that many of the writer use to be liberal -rrb- . the magazine do not always present just the conservative perspective , and do not always agree with Bush . another recent article be by a current liberal , ex-communist british writer and he reaction to George Galloway 's testimony before the US Senate . a editorial in that recent issue be all about the dictator in Uzbekistan , a US ally in the war on terror . the editorial note that toleration of this dictator and he brutality will undermine Bush 's current foreign policy . it should be note that the magazine do not seem to have journalist , and few staff writer , most appear to be call `` contribute editor . '' it be jarring , though , when I read the magazine then read article in some of my other subscription . `` Variety '' and `` Weekly Standard '' rarely agree . for that matter , I be somewhat surprise by how often the `` Weekly Standard '' and `` Business Week '' disagree . - Michael S.
