#1 USA TODAY: capitalist running dog enemies of the revolution!

#2 "It's not easy, but it can be done. Retirement programs are not legal obligations," he says.

Interesting sentiment. I presume congress will exclude themselves from any pension cutbacks anyway. So what the hell, "let them eat cake shit".

#4 Anyone notice the "degt clocks" that are shown behind Governor Romney during some of his recent interviews?

Anyone also notice the haggared, desperate look on Obama yesterday? I see the symptoms of a possible breakdown.

#6 Has anyone noticed that the deficit is always over projection?

Remember when Medicare was to only cost $16 Million but ended up at $23 Million?

I believe it was in the early 80's. Hmm, look where we are now.

#7 Silly me, I misread 'degt' for 'death'.

Which, come to think of it, is pretty accurate fiscal-wise.
