From Denny: Big government moves soooo slooow like this silly sloth. The Democrats give in to the Republicans protecting the very rich in this country. The problem is that the extension of the Bush Tax Cuts is a not paid for $900 billion two-year gamble in a shaky economy. Not exactly the best odds. Let's hope Obama gets this one right because most economists and the public don't feel confident about it.
Moving right along to the WikiLeaks amusement. This week the WikiLeaks thugs got in a snit with Mastercard, Visa and Paypal for not allowing anyone to donate to WikiLeaks, essentially cutting off a lot of their funding. So, about 40,000 folks downloaded some happy software that took over their computers and basically jammed the servers of Mastercard, Visa and Paypal, shutting down their sites. Why anyone would allow some anonymous site to take over their computer is beyond me. Talk about a personal security nightmare.
Anyway, the word is that WikiLeaks kids are also making mischief on those sites, messing with accounts. Here's a suggestion to WikiLeaks followers: how about tripping on over to all the Big Banks and making like Robin Hood during the holiday season? You could zero out account balances for people in hospital, past due credit cards, house mortgages in foreclosure and the like. Oh, what fun we have on the way to Grandma's for Christmas! :)
More sarcasm on WikiLeaks:
Obama vs. his own Democrats instead of vs. the Republicans. "What's wrong with this picture?" asks the public and the world:
The constant garbage hurled at gay soldiers, many who gave their lives for their country:
Too bad Sen. McCain (R-AZ.) can't keep any of his campaign speeches straight either. He constantly flip-flops his positions on every issue:
The Christian hate groups who picket funerals of gay soldiers also picketed the recent funeral of Elizabeth Edwards who promoted equal civil rights for all, yes, gays are people too. Only five of the hate group showed up. What was heart-warming is that about 300 protesters showed up to support the Edwards family, dwarfing the noise from the hate group. They held up positive signs of support. What a thing for young children to view just after they bury their mother:
The tiny beginning of reining in corruption in politics:
How corrupt government continues to operate unchecked:
How Americans feel about their government and the economy. Definitely time to look for a primary challenger to Obama for 2012 because his poll numbers continue downward:
Nobel Peace Prize awarded to a Chinese dissedent in jail for 11 years:
Let's not forget about Europe:
Oh, and Spying For Dummies:
World Peace during the holiday season?
