1. Congress Is Full of Criminals. No Seriously, It’s Literally Full of Criminals…
A bipartisan orgy of illegality in Congress is detailed by Peter Schwiezer that exposes rampant insider trading on the part of lawmakers who benefitted off of their direct involvement in Wall Street’s dealings. So I’ll ask the obvious question; if this is an example of both parties agreeing on something, should we really get all that excited when they agree on stuff? Speaking for me, anytime I hear about broad bipartisan support the alarm bells start going off that there’s a big stinking pile of money to be made by our public servants somewhere in the deal.
2. Latest GOP Polls
My predictions show signs of coming true. The latest GOP presidential primary polls show Cain slowly starting to fall and Gingrich rising in his place. The end-of-the week polls will tell the tale, but I can’t say that this is surprising. And honestly I don’t really know that the sexual harrassment scandals have had as much to do with Cain’s peak as his inability to perform like a front-runner in media appearances and the last few debates. Now we’ll see if the next anti-Romney has any staying (read: fundraising) power…
3. "We’ve" Been Lazy
President Obama carefully explains how we’ve been lazy about attracting foreign business in this country, which makes a lot of sense because…. wait, what? Did he seriously say that? Who is “we”? Does he mean American businesses? No, no, that doesn’t make any sense. It would make more sense if he was talking about government, since they’re responsible for ensuring a friendly regulatory and business climate for foreign investment. So is he saying that he’s been lazy about it? Like, the “royal we”? I don’t know. But if he’s not just talking out of his ass and is serious about attracting business to the US he might consider LOWERING THE CORPORATE INCOME TAX RATE.
4. Occupy Your Mom
Occupy Oakland camp is officially busted up by the ultra-liberal mayor after even she couldn’t deny the fact that it had become “a place where we had repeated violence and this week a murder” (my emphasis added).
