We are living in an “ineptocracy”. “A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.” Alfred E. Obama is the right man for the job, then.

Obama fails on all counts. The numbers say that voters don’t think he deserves reelection, he has no meaningful accomplishments, and the nation is headed off in the wrong direction under his watch. Ogrumbler knows his presidency is taking on water faster than Mochelle gobbles french fries, hence the constant whines of “raaaaacism” from his sycophantic proxies and the scorched-earth OWS strategy. If these fail, look for a Hail Mary attempt at a game changer. A word to the wise: nothing is beneath this desperate, power-hungry clown.

Sarkozy asks Obama to help with Euro debt crisis. Hell yeah, if there’s one thing Obama knows about, it’s useless, wasteful, put-you-in-a-death-spiral DEBT. ““We need the leadership of Barack Obama,” Mr. Sarkozy said.” Apparently, Europe is not disintegrating fast enough for him. It’s what every sinking ship needs, a bag of two-ton hammers to point the way to the bottom. Change you can glub, glub, GLUB!

Cuba legalizes sale, purchase of homes. After 50 years of no privte property… “The highly anticipated new rules instantly transform islanders’ cramped, dilapidated homes into potential liquid assets in the most significant reform yet adopted by President Raul Castro….” You mean socialism provides homes that are cramped and dilapidated? We coulda sworn the Left told us that was one of capitalism’s evils….

Unexpectedly, strife, dissent & violence plague OWS utopia. Non-workers of the world, head for the hills! Elizabeth Warren’s Marxist baby looking a lot like Rosemary’s baby.

Dozens of mutual funds and variable annuity accounts in retirement plans held significant stakes in Jon Corzine’s now-bankrupt MF Global firm according to a Dow Jones report. Limosine liberal multi-millionaire investment banker Jon Corzine adds a bit of tarnish to some folks’ “golden years.” Did we mention that Corzine is getting a $12 million golden parachute for leading the largest bankruptcy of 2011 and the 8th largest US bankruptcy ever? Hey, OWS and MSM, did you know Corzine is Obama’s favorite Wall Street bundler? [cue crickets chirping.]

Obama: God backs jobs plan. Sure, when did the Almighty tell you that Barry, during one of your golf games with Him? Say, it must be a real pain in the halo to play against the Creator because, well, He ALWAYS wins, don’t He? And it can be embarrassing if you forget yourself and curse after missing a putt: “g–dam that Bush for hexing my golf ball…. oops!” Is this man nuts or what?

Euro debt crisis: Eurocrats are terrified of democracy. The EU technocrats are ticked at Greek PM Papandreou for daring to offer his country’s voters a choice. The voters may not always make the wise choice but is there any guarantee that political hacks will? BTW, Iceland told the IMF and the EU to go to hell last year and the country’s economy has recovered nicely. Greece has gone thru two years of sturm und drang with the “help” of their buddies in the EU.

Colorado voters reject raising taxes to support education. Proposition 103 would’ve raised individual and corporate tax rates from 4.63% to 5% and the sales and use tax rate from 2.9% to 3%, but the measure lost big, 65-35. Just call them Coloraaaaacists from now on. Lizzy Warren may have to pay Colorado a visit and remind them taxes are how we pay for the sh*t she and her cronies do together.

Report: Netanyahu trying to rally support in his cabinet for pre-emptive attack On Iran.“The country’s defence minister Ehud Barak and the foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman are said to be among those backing a pre-emptive strike to neutralise Iran’s nuclear ambitions.” Remember president Bow n’ Scrape could’ve encouraged the Iranian opposition two years ago and with a little luck they might’ve ousted the rotten regime. Instead, he activated his Jedi mind powers and kissed the mullahs’ hairy butts. And so, here we are. Genius.

Jon Corzine is now the center of an FBI investigation into the handling of hundreds of millions of dollars invested in his securities firm. Corzine “was one of the leading Wall Street fundraisers for President Obama’s campaign and suggested to investors that he might take a top administration post if the president were re-elected. His new legal troubles… could complicate the president’s efforts to raise money from the financial community given Corzine’s central role in those efforts.” A top administration post for Corzine? How about Ambassador to Ponzi?

The Euro debt death spiral – how did we get into this mess? The problem is lotsa European banks own Greek debt. Why did the fool banks buy the debt of a country whose main product seems to be public employees? It all comes down to “governments like banks to buy their debt.”

Smoking-gun document ties Govt policy to Housing Crisis. “At President Clinton’s direction, no fewer than 10 federal agencies issued a chilling ultimatum to banks and mortgage lenders to ease credit for lower-income minorities or face investigations for lending discrimination and suffer the related adverse publicity. The threat was codified in a 20-page ‘Policy Statement on Discrimination in Lending’ and entered into the Federal Register on April 15, 1994, by the Interagency Task Force on Fair Lending.” Politicians forced banks to make bad loans in the name of “fairness” and now are blaming the banks for making bad loans.

Michael Moore: We’re going to replace capitalism as we know it. So, what kind of “system” does Jupiter’s wealthiest moon want? “Well there’s no system right now that exists. We’re going to create that system. This movement, this movement in the next year, or two, or few years is going to create a democratic economic system.” Yeah, wish in one hand and sh*t in the other and see which one gets filled up first – well, with the “occupy” crowd, it’ll be the sidewalk that gets filled.

The newest cost estimate for the CA bullet train project is $98.5 billion (nearly triple the original $33.6 billion) and the train will not be up and running until 2033, much later than the original estimate of 2020. If things keep going this way, the project will eventually cost an infinite amount of money and never actually run. BTW, the total state budget this year is $86 billion.

Mark Epstein, owner of the Milk Street Cafe at 40 Wall Street, just let 21 employees go. The reason? The barricades police have set up throughout Wall Street as a consequence of the ongoing demonstration. ‘Scuse us for sayin’, but it’s probably not just the barriers that keep customers away. A crowd of smelly, rowdy people hanging around a restaurant don’t exactly say “bon appetit” to a prospective diner (not to mention the smell of urine and poop.) BTW, Obama and Pelosi support the pooping and Elizabeth Warren created the “intellectual foundation” for it.

Michael Moore ignores questions regarding his $50 million net worth at Occupy PDX. Multimillionaire MOOre is happy to suggest other multi-millionaires “give back” just one of their millions, until someone asks him about doing the same. At this point he disappears so fast, you’d think there was a 2-for-1 sale at Arby’s.

NY Daily News inadvertently spills the OWS beans. We found this statement right above the photo below in a NY Daily News article: “What we’re trying to build here,” said Jeff Smith, a member of the Occupy Wall Street press working group, “is a model for the bigger society we’d like to see.” We’re sure you’ll all agree.

America’s “Oh Sh*t!” Moment. Civilizations don’t decline gradually, they collapse suddenly. “What all these collapsed powers have in common is that the complex social systems that underpinned them suddenly ceased to function. One minute rulers had legitimacy in the eyes of their people; the next they didn’t.” Looking at President Gilligan, the cargo-cult political and academic establishments and glib liars of the MSM, ya gotta wonder if the tipping point is almost at hand…

Federal regulators have discovered that hundreds of millions of dollars in customer money has gone missing from MF Global in recent days, prompting an investigation into the brokerage firm, which is run by Jon S. Corzine, the former New Jersey governor… “In any case, what led to the unaccounted-for cash could violate a tenet of Wall Street regulation: Customers’ funds must be kept separate from company money.” Yeah, Corzine may’ve thought he was still working for the gubbermint where this sort of thing ain’t a problem.

“If the Greek public vote ‘no’ in the referendum, Greece could be left with no funds and no government, teetering on the edge of a disorderly default and a disorderly exit from the eurozone.” Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou decided to let Greeks vote on the bailout package agreed to last week. Polls show 60% are against it. This is gonna get interesting.

Congressional calls for Holder’s resignation more than double to 17. Well, his fingerprints do seem to be all over Fast and Furious, not to mention other things.

A REAL comeback kid: “With flair and hard work, Cain turned around Pillsbury’s struggling Philadelphia Burger King region and revived a near-dead Godfather’s Pizza.” Great, there’s one more moribund enterprise we need him to turn around – the United States. Herman Cain is the man the media imagines Barack Obama to be.

She’s baaaack…. The very angry first lady Michelle Obama. “She’s traveled to some of the world’s most plush resorts, taking 42 days off in the past year – that’d be eight weeks of vacay time if she held down a normal job. Now, she is ready to spew her bilious disgust with America on the campaign trail.” What’s bigger, one of Godzilla’s pimples or the chip on Moochelle Antoinette’s shoulder? The woman goes to Halloween parties dressed as herself.

The 99%: a list of groups, organizations, individuals and entities that have expressed their support for, sponsorship of, or sympathy for the Occupy Wall Street movement. Where Barack Obama, Ayatollah Khamenei (Supreme Leader of Iran), Louis Farrakhan, David Duke, Hugo Chavez and Nancy Pelosi (among others) all come together. Yup, a real “grass roots people’s movement” always has lots of manipulative scumbag politicians supporting it.
