Dear God in Heaven, That is a Huge Number
This kind of took my breath away this morning. The United States of America now owes someone(s) $13,665,000,000,000. By 2012, when Hillary Clinton next challenges Barack Obama for their party’s presidential nomination, the national debt will be even larger than today’s record — $16,500,000,000,000, according to current federal estimates. That’s more money than the entire [...]
The Chamber of Commerce is Not Necessarily Our Friend
Last night, I suggested rather sarcastically on Twitter that Glenn Beck’s “money bomb”, wherein he asked his legion of listeners to donate to the Chamber of Commerce, was not a very wise move.

Why Don’t These Two Recovery Lines Match? Love and Optimism is a Big Reason.

The advice appears in “Inspire,” the latest issue of a slick propaganda [...]
BREAKING: Barack Obama’s Veins Flow with the Blood of Muggles
It’s not enough that the tainted blood of Dick Cheney flows through the pure veins of the Obamessiah, but now this? How much more can one man endure? Do Sarah Palin and President Obama have anything in common? You betcha. The Tea Party darling and frequent critic of the President are actually cousins, albeit, 10th [...]
Is there No Limit to the Deviousness of the American Capitalist?
Damn those American companies who take foreign money! Damn them to the hottest regions of the infernal! When will their treachery cease? In a different day and age, Jeff Hart would be the most famous American in our country right now. He would be honored at the White House. Schoolchildren would learn of his skill [...]
Could You Go Be Poor Somewhere Else? I’m Biking Here!
Carol of No Sheeples Here is a blogospheric treasure, possessed of a cutting wit, boundless creativity, and wicked good Photoshop mojo. She has taken a series of photos from the Great Depression and blended them with elements from today to illustrate just how closely our modern elites relate to the elites back then. Her touch is exquisite. [...]
