Earlier today, while no one was caring, the Republican House leadership unveiled “The Republican Road To Recovery,” which is more or less the budget plan they pretend to support, even though they know it is 100% comical and will be rejected in full by Obama, thereby reinforcing his Communist public image just in time for [...]
Who does this guy think he is? He installs a bunch of dumb clowns at Treasury who are continually getting pantsed by incompetent bankers, and at the height of the shitstorm he gets on a plane to California — but not before recording another one of his “Join my movement by harassing your neighbors about [...]
Oh, gross! It’s a “viral marketing scheme” designed to shanghai you into taking a blood oath in support of Barack Obama’s socialist revolution. Just watch this video by the new fake David Plouffe, sign some dumb little online petition, and voila, you will be spared a personal “visit” by Obama’s praetorian guard. [Organizing for America [...]
Pretty much every day for the past month President Obama has held a press conference explaining how he’s going to fix yet another massive problem with the economy. Usually the solution is something like, “Print more money!” But today, he’s floating a novel new plan: “Save more money.” Bwaaah?
Man, you know what costs gazillions of dollars of taxpayer money? Executin’ people! With appeals and increased housing costs, the tab to house a prisoner and eventually carry out the death penalty can run upwards of $3 million.

CALIFORNIA SURVIVES, FOR NOW! The Calfornia state Senate has ended a 45.5-hour gridlocked session by finally passing a budget! This required convincing a THIRD Republican senator that a couple of modest, temporary tax increases was better for the state than the immediate loss of 90,000 jobs, debt default, and revolution. “The taxpayers of California are [...]
Just the other day we were wondering, “What areas of the job market flourish in depressions?” and the answers were, “Repossessions, Netflix, economic analysis, and state unemployment offices, of course,” but it turned out that unemployment offices are all closing. Still, it seemed plausible that economists might have a pretty good lock on a job [...]
Not that anyone really *uses* the Post Office anymore, which we suppose is part of the problem, but the Postmaster General popped into the Senate today, exchanged pleasantries, and then told the Senators, “So yeah um, funny thing… we’re broke too. Ha…?” The Senators rolled their eyes, sighed, reluctantly took out the golden checkbook with [...]
RAISE TAXES ON ALL VAGUELY RICH PEOPLE ASAP, SRSLY: “For the first two months of the fiscal year, Treasury reported a record deficit of $401.6 billion.” And all because of… Obama. [Marketwatch]
Once upon a time there was a congressman named John Boehner, and everybody made fun of him because his name looked like “boner.” And then day somebody sent one of his local offices a Mysterious Package, which was leaking an Oily Substance, and everybody panicked because of the Terrorists. But! Turns out it was just [...]
