It looks like our country is heading toward the European banking model. Even "typically"right wing Republicans are in favor of some sort of nationalization of the poor banks. I just don't understand why the only alternatives are nationalizing the banks or economic depression. Why can't we simply do what we've always done and let them go through the bankruptcy process? Hugo Chavez nationalized his oil industry. We've nationalized our banks. It's just not official yet.
GM and Chrysler are back at the table requesting $22B in taxpayer funds. In the meantime, they will layoff 47,000 workers. I wonder if we are going to nationalize these guys too.
Yeah, and for those that don't see a problem with the growing size of government, try this one on for size.
Okay, who is really surprised that Roland Burris lied about how he attained his Illinois Senate seat? When he said that he didn't talk to anyone close or related to former Gov. Blagojevich, he didn't know that his brother was included. Yeah, okay.....and the fundraising for Blago? Mere coincidence.
Syrian President Assad extends olive branch to America. In regards to leadership he said "there is no substitute for the United States." Agreed. Now, cut off all military ties to Hizbollah and Hamas and maybe we can meet you half-way.
Obama does his own version of a "surge" in Afghanistan. Hopefully, we'll send a portion of those 17,000 troops to find Omar, bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri while they're up there.
When Mitt Romney has to sell two of his four mansions, you know it has been a bad day on Wall Street.
U.N. announces that five tons of bombs have been stolen in Gaza. By coincidence, they were being guarded by Hamas.
Strippers arrested for being strippers, thanks to a "new law" signed by Gov. Jeb Bush. Charges include soliciting a drink.
