Republicans counting on voter's short memory

The Republicans are counting on the voters to still have a short memory this election year. If you don't know where you have been, how can you know where you are going to?

1. They don't want you to remember that Republicans were the ones who crashed the economy.
2. They don't want you to remember that Republicans started two wars that we are still paying for.

Frankly, I would have more respect for payday lenders if they would simply pull a gun on their customers and shout: "This is a stickup!" At least they would be honest about their intentions.

What else would you call charging someone 400 percent to upwards of 900 percent interest but robbery?

They say

They say that inspiration is an effect of the instability of mind. They say that mind escapes the clutching grip of everyday life and ventures somewhere deeper, into subconsciousness and there… there it finds a source of inspiration.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today the proposed insurance rate hikes from Anthem Blue Cross in California that we've been writing about will serve as a backdrop for President Obama's health care summit next week.

Gibbs struck an ominous tone, suggesting that if reform doesn't pass now, there are more increases to come. It's an issue the Democrats seized on recently as they attempt to push a final measure over the goal line.

A Little Change and a Maid Costume

Looking for an interesting costume? Why don’t you try wearing a maid costume for a change? It’s different. It’s not the usual cat suit for cat woman or any of those vampire varieties.
