Progressives and Rape
Here's the latest John Hawkins vlog, "Liberalism in 120 Seconds: Liberals and Rape":
Yeah, I wrote on this last night: "Jill Filipovic Responds to Michael Moore's Dismissal of Julian Assange Rape Charges as 'Hooey'." And they're not liberals. I'm gonna start bugging John about that.

America's ATM...........from Rico
This cartoon is painfully close to the truth. It is worth more than a thousand words, and certainly says more.
What will happen when America's private ATM runs out of cash (or changes the pin code to prevent further withdrawals from an overdrawn account)?
The FED has already become the primary purchaser of Treasurys (Bonds, aka IOU's), when it becomes the sole purchaser.......?

The Great Recovery and Honest Democrats...........from Rico
Few people know (and few who DO know [Ben Bernanke & Co.] are saying so publicly) that during the Great Depression US Government debt as a percentage of GDP did not reach 40%.
Today, during what our Honest Democrats (C) are calling the Great Recovery, US debt is set to pass 100% of GDP.
- Yup! 100% GDP to Government debt! All thanks to their spending!
Our lame duck [read: fired] Marxist Congress ...for our own 'good' of course...wants to pack even MORE spending we neither want nor need UP our......er, down our throats.
- Small wonder these well-informed, highly-educated "progressives" enjoy a 13% approval rating. The BIG wonder is that they do not care one bit what "we the people" (all 87% of us think). They are clearly telling us to go pound sand.
Ah, Mr. orwell was indeed prophetic:
Freedom is Slavery
Debt is recovery
....meanwhile, China buys gold with cash it has in hand, and Congress buys more "pork" [read: earmarks] with money it does not have, but must borrow.
Only ONE of these is actually a good plan....the other is sinking faster than a head-shot carp!
- And I fully expect Bernanke of the FED to double-down on failure by increasing the FED's already 'doubled' balance sheet by one or two trillion Dollars more!!!

U.S. Tries to Build Case for Conspiracy by WikiLeaks

Green Castle Indiana Courthouse Square.............
The "Buzz Bomb" is back. The World War II-era V-1 bomb originally situated outside the courthouse is back after nearly two years of extensive restoration.
While local attorney J. Frank Durham was training for the Navy in Stumpneck, Md., he received orders to destroy a roomful of obsolete enemy arms recovered after the war. Durham considered that most civilians would never have the opportunity to see these relics of war, so he suggested they be preserved for display - a possibility his lieutenant said would "take an act of Congress."
So Durham went to Congress. With the help of Sen. William Jenner and Rep. Noble Johnson, a train-load of obsolete military supplies were donated to the local Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) chapter. The V-1 was chosen to stand out and was prepped for exhibition. A pair of Japanese guns were also put on display in front of the VFW. The rest of the items remain unaccounted for.
The family of Sen. William Hoadley donated the bomb's limestone support. It was designed by Arthur Perry, DePauw University's former Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds.
The VFW was denied memorial space in Robe Anne Park, so the group chose the southwest corner of the courthouse, with the promise that the display should be educational, since the device is the forerunner of guided missile warfare. The German-engineered buzz bomb was officially dedicated on Armistice Day 1949 and has been a fixture on the square ever since.
