Bipartisanship!
Barack Obama helped elect 255 Democrats to the House in 2008. This year, he helped elect 240 Republicans to the House. Now that’s bipartisanship.

Bananas.................from Rico
Yeah, this is surely "change" and you can 'believe' in it!!!
Food stamps now go to 42.9 million people. Put another way, one-in-six people cannot eat without food stamps.
The percentage of people who have jobs is at a "historic" low.
No jobs = no bananas.
This is what the communist-progressives meant by "transforming" America...transforming it into a banana republic, just without any bananas (save for the monkeys in Congress and their friends, of course)!!
- How does the United Banana States of America" sound to you?
Sing-along with the chorus now (Berry-Nancy-Harry, et al):
"But YES, we have no bananas. We have no bananas today."

Sir Philip Green
London, England
A comment about this post
All these Lefties really don’t get it do they? Like him or loathe him, Philip Green creates jobs with his use of money, makes profits which are then re-invested to create more jobs. Agreed, he makes his whack out of his business as well, but why shouldn’t he? he’s the one risking his own money and that of his investors.
What have the Leftie twats that whinge and sneer on this site ever done for Britain’s economy except bollocks it up for every one else? Lefties NEVER understand business. They think money anyone else earns is for the state to use as it pleases, usually wasting it on a massive scale. It’s easy to fritter away when you’ve never actually worked for it.
F**king Left Wingers should NEVER be allowed anywhere near any Treasury, whether it be in Whitehall or in Local Government.
I don’t know why we even bther to reply to these ignorant bastards. The massive chips on both shoulders and their political bigotry exclude them from rational argument.
Do some Americans think the same about Democrats?

WikiLeaks' Dishonesty and Hypocrisy
The latest WikiLeaks dump could be breaking a record for provoking debate. I've said a lot already. But I'm thinking back to how badly the MFM and progressive manchild bloggers got beat on the Apache video last April. Jawa Report was doing yeoman's work, for example, "For The Idiots Who Still Say There Was no RPG -- UPDATED: Wiki Leak as Left Wing Propaganda."
Liars and hypocrites. And lots more in the news. For example, at The Guardian's reader-response interview, Julian Assange refused to answer this question:
Julian.Julian ASS-ange
I am a former British diplomat. In the course of my former duties I helped to coordinate multilateral action against a brutal regime in the Balkans, impose sanctions on a renegade state threatening ethnic cleansing, and negotiate a debt relief programme for an impoverished nation. None of this would have been possible without the security and secrecy of diplomatic correspondence, and the protection of that correspondence from publication under the laws of the UK and many other liberal and democratic states. An embassy which cannot securely offer advice or pass messages back to London is an embassy which cannot operate. Diplomacy cannot operate without discretion and theprotection of sources. This applies to the UK and the UN as much as the US.
In publishing this massive volume of correspondence, Wikileaks is not highlighting specific cases of wrongdoing but undermining the entire process of diplomacy. If you can publish US cables then you can publish UK telegrams and UN emails.
My question to you is: why should we not hold you personally responsible when next an international crisis goes unresolved because diplomats cannot function.
More later ...
