It's NOT just Japan and Libya - there's a world wide crisis

If you want to start off your weekend with a BANG -- go read "Some Assembly Required" -- it's "happy, happy, joy, joy" stuff. Samples:


The Struggle is A Joy: The more European bankers and the IMF continue their attempts to impose austerity measures and senseless privatizations on Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and others, the more European citizens tell them “Go Fish.” No matter how little the bankers like it, governance requires the cooperation of the governed, and these citizens are loath togive up the wages, improved working conditions and subsistence pensions that they and their unions successfully fought for over the past half century – just to make up for the damage the banks have done to their economies.

Details, Please: Did you have an abortion this year? Was it the result of rape or incest (or most likely both)? How did you pay for the abortion? Do you have a receipt? Identify the date of this abomination, the name of the baby killer and the identity of the facility. Was any tax benefit, directly or indirectly, involved in paying for this abortion, or for the facility that provided the procedure, or the education of the doctor who performed this act of first degree murder? Or so the questions on Schedule A of your 1040 will read next year if the Republicans prevail.

Q&A: Do we need big banks? No. Are big banks more efficient? No. Are big banks systemically dangerous? Yes. Are big banks able to corrupt politicians and manipulate the government? Yes!

The Untouchables: We have created an underclass of 15 million untouchables – people who cannot find a job, or cannot find full time employment. Plus millions more who have been forced to take large cuts in pay in order to find any sort of job. One out of six American workers. And the Republicans think now is the time to cut social welfare safety nets.

This is from yesterday's postings: Declawing: Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.) wants the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to be run by a 5-member commission (3 Republicans and 2 Democrats in his dream) instead of by a Commissioner. Which is his way of throwing Elizabeth Warren under a bus before she can do anything that might actually protect the consumer.


See -- isn't it WONDERFUL??
