#2  What a good idea everyone knows private taxation increases the sum of wealth....

Does anyone want to bet against her getting lawyers suing her for skin cancer and operating a nuclear device without a license before she gets any cheques sent in?

#3  This is Stupid/brilliant, she forgot however that the Sun,Planets and in fact the Universe HAS an owner, God it's creator,She'll be hearing from the Vatican/ Mecca and points threby.

Europe
EU rescue costs start to threaten Germany itself
The escalating debt crisis on the eurozone periphery is starting to contaminate the creditworthiness of Germany and the core states of monetary union.

#1  As long as Euros have money to spend on Paleos, they're not in trouble deep enough for me.

#2  I wonder who they think is going to bail them out.
Posted by: gorb || 11/27/2010 3:50 Comments || Top||

#3  It's by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, so you need the large pile of salt logo....

#4  I wonder who they think is going to bail them out.

Like California, they think the Beltway will. They did in 2008 when they 'honored' paper that was not suppose to be backed by federal guarantees resulting in shipping tens of billions of dollars in TARP payments to German, French, etc banks and investment houses.

#5  It's funny you still think in nationalistic ways.

The money wasn't funnelled to bail out French/German Banks it was funnelled to a trans-national rent-seeking elite with no loyalty to a particular country that owned the underlying bonds.

Know your enemy.

#6  ...unless the UN has started to charter commercial banks and financial institutions, the money went to those chartered and run within national boundaries under national laws and regulations.

#7  "I am worried that Germany's authorities are slowly losing sight of the European common good," said Jean-Claude Juncker, chair of Eurogroup finance ministers.

That happens when you are asked to constantly tighten your belt so that other people can eat out every night.

#8  I hope Junk get elephantitus of the testes and Doctors refuse to treat him for the common good of him and the parasite.

Frustrated Obama Sends Nation Rambling 75,000-Word E-Mail
WASHINGTON—Having admittedly "reached the end of [his] rope," President Barack Obama sent a rambling 75,000-word e-mail to the entire nation Wednesday, revealing deep frustrations with America's political culture, his presidency, U.S. citizens, and himself.
Ok, so its the Onion.

#1  Like Obama would ever express frustration with himself.

#2  I actually beleaved the headline tho. Talk about someone with diarrhea of the mouth -- the guy does run his mouth on and on and on and on....
Posted by: CrazyFool || 11/27/2010 0:23 Comments || Top||

#3  Hey, I've got a great idea! The biggest problem is that Obama doesn't communicate with the American people enough. Maybe he could set up a daily TV show, preempting all networks, and talk for an hour or two to the American people. He could call it "Hello, Mr.President". I mean, he seems to want to emulate Hugo, so this is the logical next step.
/sarcasm

#4  Sad thing is, the Onion is becoming reality with the help of liberals.
Posted by: OldSpook || 11/27/2010 1:35 Comments || Top||

#5  oldspook: the scary thing for me, is that;

a. the onion typicaly is ahead of reality by 6 to 8 months

b. after something like this happening for real--
President Joe Biden

Eeek!

#6  ...well, we didn't get President Agnew did we?
Posted by: Procopius2k || 11/27/2010 9:01 Comments || Top||

#7  No, we kept the natering nabobs of negativity instead.
Posted by: Muggsy Glink || 11/27/2010 11:16 Comments || Top||

#8  Muggsy, we also got stuck with the Pusillanimous Pussyfooters.

Which of Agnew's speechwriters did we have to thank for that avalance of aggrandizing alliteration?

#9  "I tried reading [Obama's] e-mail, but it was just way too long," said 48-year-old Sophia Washington of Moraine, OH, adding that because her computer displayed the text all on one line, she had to scroll from left to right in order to read it. "I just ended up skimming to see if my name was in there.

LOL
