APee summarized.

Unexpectedly! "Experts" shocked! They were looking for a rebound! Blame weather! Blame energy costs! Blame republicans! Blame everyone!

#5  A guillotine in a public square worked to rid La Belle France of the bringers of her demise for how many centuries? Just saying.

#4  2 years ago today

Two years after President Barack Obama signed the DemocratsÂ’ $787 billion stimulus debacle into law, voters are reminded that liberal U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) has failed to create the jobs he promised.

The Obama White House projected that their massive stimulus spending would cap national unemployment at 8 percent, and Tester promised Montanans that the bill would “[create] millions of new jobs,” calling it a “jobs bill” and a “a big victory for middle-class folks in Montana.”

#2  I have a prediction:


  • 1 Things will suck until the housing market stabilizes and 70% of home owners aren't under water

  • 2 Things will suck while food and energy costs rise

  • 3 Things will suck until we have the population working again

  • 4 Things will suck until we deal with our debt



Therefore, based off the list above things will fucking suck for quite a while.
