Inside Baseball: The Reform Predicament.......................from Dan Friedman
[The nominally Jewish Reform sect is a failing religious franchise and a zero sum game. Their drive for assimilation has been so "successful" they've plumb run out of Jews who want to be "reformed." Face it, there are just so many aging hippies to go around. The "outsiders" the Reform are now trying to attract betrays a desperate attempt to fill their empty pews, and out of necessity, being Jewish is no longer a requirement. If the “movement” wished to be honest, they’d change the signs on their “temples” to read: Democratic Discussion Group Meets Here Every Saturday. df]

Kate Moss, 39, Smokin' Topless for Playboy's 60th
Hey, she's looking better than ever. She was part of the "heroin chic" fashion trend in the 1990s, which I didn't care for, but she's looking a lot better these days, filling out her body and flashing some bare-breasts.
It's SFW, "Kate Moss Featured on Cover of Playboy's 60th Anniversary Issue."
Millennials Abandon Obama and #ObamaCare
Cross-posted, "Millennial Generation Abandons Obama."
This is amazing, although not surprising.
From Ron Fournier, at National Journal, "Millennials Abandon Obama and Obamacare."
It's worth spending some time with both the article, and the complete survey, "IOP Releases New Fall Poll, 5 Key Findings and Trends in Millennial Viewpoints."
A commenter at the Harvard page captures my thoughts exactly: "52% of Young Americans want Obama recalled. Wow. That's a stunning indictment of his failures."
We've got finals at my college next week and I'm into the wrap up mode in my American government classes. I discussed the survey in classes today. I've got a large number of die-hard Obama supporters among my students, especially minority students, but overall I'm seeing a lot of the same disenchantment with Obama on campus that we see at the poll. Young people especially don't like the insurance mandate, because it's harming their interests directly. A number of other Obama disasters are more remote, and they're unable to make the connections. But as this White House has transformed the workplace into a part-time economy, more and more young people will be waking up to how terrible this president's been for the country.
And by the way, the numbers on student debt at the poll are also devastating. America's youth are taking it up the ass for the left's ideological program of unicorns are rainbows. William Jacobson's got more, "Harvard Survey: Obama and Obamacare push Millennials support off cliff." (Via Memeorandum.)

We have very recently found out for a fact that the big Global Banks rigged LIBOR rates, EURIBOR rates, settlement values for currencies (FX), and prices in the Energy Sector...so why would they NOT also manipulate the Gold and Silver markets?

A Christmas poem that tells it like it really is...................from Rico
Twas the night before the default, and all through the White House not a creature was working, not even his spouse;
Even though the web site was not ready,
Mr. Obama said shut down the government and be steady,
No stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
because Michelle and the kids were in Hawaii spending 7 million there;
The Obama voters were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of free cell phones danced in their heads;
And mamma with her free healthcare, and unemployment benefits with no cap,
Had just settled down for a free winter’s nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the mail box I flew like a flash,
Tore open the mail and got my free cash.
The welfare check hadn't got wet in the snow
Obama was still passing out lots of free dough,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a sign I must not work, at all of next year,
With a Socialist driver, so conniving and quick,
I knew in a moment he was their Saint Nick.
More taxes for the working and spending pretty much insane,
and he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
“Now, Daschle ! Now, Boxer ! Now, Biden and Frankin and Reid !
On, Pelosi ! On Feinstein ! On,Bernanke ! and Yellen !
over the debt ceiling! No spending fire wall!
Now tax away! Tax away! Tax away all !
How sad we have so many stupid voters and free loaders in this declining country!

ZoNation: The Greedy Grinches That Give Walmart Grief
Walmart is a lightning rod for liberal contradictions. They hate businesses that charge too much, and accuse them of being greedy, but when Walmart charges less, the liberals still accuse them of greed; and what's worse they even use words like slavery. Of course it's ok for them to liberally use the word slavery no matter how off base they are, but if Sarah Palin uses the term, (and more appropriately mind you) then people like MSNBC's Martin Bashir believe she should get a diet of defecation and urine.

Remember Cyprus?......................from Rico
I wonder how many actually have any memory of what happened in Cyprus?
- It was not that long ago, and already the UK, US, EU, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have mechanisms ready and in place for bail-ins.
Still doubt?
- Then note that the recent "Future of Banking..." conference just confirmed that bail-ins [read: deposit confiscation] will be used. No more bail-outs, it's going to be bail-ins from now forward.
The next time a Bank gets into trouble because it was stupid, depositor funds will be confiscated [read: stolen]to get the Bank out of trouble.
Of course, it is being called a "resolution tool" because that sounds much nicer than calling it what it is...theft.
- It reminds me of how 'sociopath' is often used instead of 'psychopath' because it sounds nicer while meaning the same thing.

Gratuitous Obamacare Cartoons Because It's Too Damn Easy!...from TPC

Obama's Deliberate Destruction of the Economy
By Alan Caruba
"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome
What was true for Rome is true for America. President Obama may know little about history and less about economics, but he is relentlessly destroying America and has been since he first took office in 2009.
In September, the Gallup polling organization, reported that “Americans’ trust in ‘the American people’ to make judgments about political issues facing the country has declined each year since 2009 and, at 61%, is down nearly 20 percentage points from its recent peak in 2005. Still, that exceeds the 46% of Americans who trust the ‘men and women…who either hold or are running for public office,’ which is one point above the historical low from 2011.”
“The results are based on Gallup’s annual Governance survey, conducted Sept 5-8. The same poll found that American’s trust in the federal government to handle domestic and international problems, their trust in the news media, and their trust in the three branches of the federal government, and in state and local governments are all at or near historical lows.”
In the end, the primary currency of government is the trust people put in its ability to respond to the problems they encounter in their daily lives.
As of October, more than ninety million Americans were out of work. The data the federal government publishes is not trustworthy. It is manipulated for political gain. By October, even the Bureau of Labor Statistics had to admit that 90.6 million Americans over the age of 16 were not in the labor force--an all-time high.
Writing in Investor’s Business Daily, Betsy McCaughey, a former lieutenant governor of New York, noted that “After four and a half years of the Obama presidency, an unprecedented number of Americans have given up looking for work, wages are stagnating, low-wage earners are suffering most and the U.S. is fast becoming a nation of part-time workers.”
An October CNS News article reported that “Americans who were recipients of means-tested government benefits in 2011 outnumbered year-round full-time workers, according to data released this month by the Census Bureau. They also out-numbered the total population of the Philippines.” The figures worked out to about 1.7 people getting some form of means-tested government benefit for every one person working full-time year round.
In September, CNS News reported that “A record 23,116,928 American households were enrolled in the federal government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)---AKA food stamps---during the month of June, according to data released this month by the Department of Agriculture. That outnumbers the 20,618,000 households that the Census Bureau estimated were in the entire Northeastern United States as of the second quarter of 2013.”
Also in September, CNS News reported that “During the four years that marked President Barack Obama’s first term in office, the real median income of American households dropped by $2,627 and the number of people in poverty increased by approximately 6,667,000, according to data released by the Census Bureau. The record total of approximately 46,496,000 people in the United States who are now in poverty, according to the Census Bureau, is more than twice the population of Syria,” a nation that has lost 100,000 people in its civil war.
“In 2008,” the CNS News report noted, “the year Obama was elected, people in poverty represented 13.2 percent of the national population. In 2012, they represented 15.0 percent of the population.” And, in 2012, Americans either went to the polls or stayed home sufficiently to reelect Obama. Obama supporters in effect voted to continue the nation’s poverty rates.
In late January, the Federal Reserve released data that revealed that its holdings of U.S. government debt had increased to an all-time record of $1,696,691,000,000 as of the close of day. The Fed’s holdings of U.S. government debt had increased by 257 percent since President Obama was first inaugurated in 2009. It is the single largest hold of U.S. government debt. China is the largest foreign holder of this debt.
“The misery is not going to end soon,” wrote Mort Zuckerman, the editor-in-chief of the U.S. News and World Report, in a July Wall Street Journal commentary, noting that the economy represents “the weakest gross domestic product (GDP) growth since World War II. This anemic growth is all we have to show for the greatest fiscal and monetary stimuli in 75 years, with fiscal deficits of over 10% of GDP in four consecutive years.”
Over the past five years, the U.S. spent $3.7 trillion on welfare. That includes approximately 80 different means-tested poverty and welfare programs. That figure is nearly five times greater than the combined amount spent on NASA, education, and all federal transportation projects over that time.
You don’t have to be an economist to see that Obama embarked on a deliberate program to impoverish as many Americans as possible since taking office in 2009. If this is not a cause for impeachment than nothing is, but he will not be impeached. Instead, he will continue to attack all aspects of the economy. Obamacare is the ultimate example of this.

Actress Maria Bello Comes Out
I've placed "comes out" in quotation marks below because she's not really lesbian in the "born this way" sense that used to be the rage during the so-called homosexual "rights" movement. Funny, but apparently the movement's degenerated by now into something quite different from the innate rights legal agenda of which homosexual are argued to have inalienable guarantees against arbitrary, disparate treatment.

The Genius of George Romero...................from Rico
George Romero's genius was demonstrated this year on 'Black Friday' when the American zombies [tapped consumers] stampeded, fought, stabbed, and shot one another to buy more crap they did not need and could not afford.
- Anyone who watches one of George's zombie movies and sees only zombies is entirely 'missing' his biting...and prescient''''social and political commentary.
Of course, these are the same American zombies [clueless & ignorant voters] that not only elected, but re-elected a fraud-fake-phony (pick your favorite*) on the strength of meaningless and empty rhetoric like HOPE and CHANGE and WE ARE THE ONES WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.
- Why yes, so it seems now you actually are.....
*My personal favorite terms for this guy are: doper, fag, musloid, and Marxist.
