Europe is now sinking fast. “Government is destroying society, proving the falsity of the heretofore accepted belief (in Europe, anyway) that government makes society better. But then, anyone who has bothered to read Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom will not be surprised.” And Obama is rushing to bring the Euro model here before it implodes and takes Europe with it. Forward.

Facebook photo of Plymouth (MA) woman at Tomb Of The Unknowns sparks outrage. “Lindsey Stone was visiting the Tomb of the Unknowns last month on a business trip when she posed for a picture next to a sign that reads ‘silence and respect.’ In the photo, Stone is pretending to yell and she’s showing her middle finger.” Well, one consolation: no matter how long she lives, it will be almost impossible for her to do something more stupid and disgusting than this.

Susan Estrich: “I did not vote for Obama because I think I am paying too little in taxes.” But she did vote for him because she loves Obamacare and environmental regulation and federal aid to schools and Big Bird and yada yada yada. Well, Susan, where do you think the money for all that happy horsepoop is going to come from? Unicorn ride fees? Bullet train tickets? Wait, maybe the Federal gubbermint can win the effing lottery or something…

Democrats have own fiscal cliff issues. “Reid and the White House will also need to navigate a hardening Democratic divide on entitlements. Progressives don’t want any deep cuts that Republicans will insist on for a deal. But a Third Way poll of 800 Obama voters set for release Tuesday found that efforts to fix Medicare and Social Security enjoy broader support than liberals suggest.” It’s time for the Birdie President to step up and be the leader all his apostles keep telling us he is.

Mystery solved.

Obama repeatedly mispronounces Aung San Suu Kyi. “…Obama repeatedly mispronounced the name of Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel laureate and former political prisoner who has led the struggle for a free and democratic Burma.” “…also botched the name of his official host, Burma’s reformist new president, Thein Sein.” Seriously, the boob doesn’t know how to pronounce “corpseman”, why the hell would you think he could pronounce “Aung San Suu Kyi”?

The Twinkie: Will it return as a Mexican expat? One rumored bidder for the Hostess assets “…hints at the future of Twinkies and maybe the US bakery business as a whole: Mexico’s Grupo Bimbo, the world’s largest bread baking firm, which already owns parts of Sara Lee, Entenmann’s and Thomas English Muffins.” One day, perhaps soon, Americans will be sneaking over the border to Mexico to find jobs. Forward!

Playing poker with trillions… “…this isn’t just a financial system, but a transformation of the world civilization. It’s not like the Great Depression, it’s more like the Renaissance or Reformation or the Industrial Revolution: one civilization is dying, another will take its place.” Unlike voters, nature cannot be fooled.

Why do city dwellers tend to be leftwing Democrats? Urban cocoons: urbanites “have forgotten that mankind’s natural state is poverty and that strenuous, heroic efforts are required to produce the astounding affluence and abundant paraphernalia of our modern, affluent lifestyles. To use Marxian terminology, urbanites have become alienated from economic reality.” Obama is working on fixing that… Twinkies are just the beginning.

Senate Democrats say deficit package must include stimulus. In other news, Senate Democrats say drug addiction treatment must include heroin and alcoholism treatment must include lotsa booze. They also said diabetes treatment must include Twinkies but later backed away from that, for some reason.

Trumka blames Hostess bankruptcy on Mitt Romney. ““What’s happening with Hostess Brands is a microcosm of what’s wrong with America, as Bain-style Wall Street vultures make themselves rich by making America poor.” BULL! The private equity money that rescued the firm from its first bankruptcy is DEMOCRAT, Tim Collins of Ripplewood (an acquaintance of former House Democrat leader Dick Gephardt.) BTW, the Teamsters union seems to lay the blame on the Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM) for refusing to go along with the Teamsters to accept the last offer from Hostess.

Despite $15.9 billion loss, U.S. Postal Service execs see boost in pay. “Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, for instance, earned a base salary of $276,840, but even without a bonus or incentive payout, his overall compensation came to $512,093, compared with $384,229 in 2011, according to regulatory filings.” Bonus? Incentive? You mean he gets extra money for failing? Is he related to Obama or something?

Twinkies maker Hostess going out of business. “We deeply regret the necessity of today’s decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike. Hostess Brands will move promptly to lay off most of its 18,500-member workforce and focus on selling its assets to the highest bidders.” So, what will food stamps be good for when no one produces food?

Congressional report blames Corzine in MF Global collapse. “…former CEO Jon Corzine’s reckless tactics doomed the firm and ultimately led to a shortfall of $1.6 billion in customer funds.” So it wasn’t the filmmaker???? Oh, wrong scandal… it’s so hard to keep all of these official Obama Administration BS stories straight. Maybe someone should write an app for that.

The gospel according to Apostle Barack – A real book title. “This is NOT a joke and it is even worse than you think.” Well, you really don’t know how bad we think it is, do you? “And the Lord Barack said, ‘Let there be stupidity, for otherwise no one will vote for me.’ And a great wave of stupidity fell upon the land. And Lord Barack smiled, then teed off as his people dove off the cliff into the abyss…”

Hostess to liquidate if Bakers’ strike continues through Thursday; end of Twinkies hours away? “The bakers’ union would rather have no job than reduced wages.” “…names and recipes will likely be sold and produced elsewhere, probably at a lower cost to consumers, especially if the buyer does not have to deal with the bakers’ union.” How do you say “Twinkie” in Chinese? Twinkie!

If every Food Stamp recipient voted for Obama, it would account for 75% of his total. “Harry Hopkins, FDR’s close adviser who ran the now-defunct Works Progress Administration (WPA), once described Roosevelt’s strategy as ‘tax & tax, spend & spend, elect & elect.'” Sounds like everything old is “new” again.

Obama’s Nightmare. “Virtually every American president since Dwight Eisenhower has had a Middle Eastern country that brought him grief. For Ike, it was Lebanon’s civil war and Israel’s Sinai invasion. For Lyndon Johnson, it was the 1967 Six-Day War. For Nixon, it was the 1973 war. For Carter, it was the Iranian Revolution. For Ronald Reagan, it was Lebanon. For George H.W. Bush, it was Iraq. For Bill Clinton, it was Al Qaeda and Afghanistan. For George W. Bush, it was Iraq and Afghanistan. For Barack Obama’s first term, it was Iran and Afghanistan, again. And for Obama’s second term, I fear that it could be the full nightmare — all of them at once.” Boo, hoo, and whose effing fault is that? Some filmmaker? Ya gotta love the pinheads at the NY Times… this is Obama’s nightmare? Like the rest of us (including those who wanted someone competent as president) aren’t stuck in it with him?????

Initial claims soar to 439K, non-seasonally adjusted surge by whopping 104,548 in one week. Well, it’s all Bush’s the tsunami Arab Spring raaaaacism do-nothing congress the filmmaker’s the earthquake’s fat cats’ Sandy’s fault.

McCain to reporter: “That’s one of the dumbest questions I’ve ever heard.” “…he was asked by a reporter whether he thought Gen. David Petraeus’ extramarital affair and resignation might have been a bigger national security threat than the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.” Gosh, you haven’t been listening to them for a while, have you senator?

How a vicious circle of self-interest sank San Bernadino, CA. “…the city’s decades-long journey from prosperous, middle-class community to bankrupt, crime-ridden, foreclosure-blighted basket case is straightforward… San Bernardino succumbed to a vicious circle of self-interests among city workers, local politicians and state pension overseers.” Read it and weep, many more communities will be joining them in the coming years. Forward!

Hamas military chief killed in Gaza air strike. “Israeli officials had said in recent days that they were considering assassinating top Hamas officials following a wave of heavy rocket fire from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.” Perhaps Israel is taking security matters into their own hands since the celebrity-in-chief is too busy taking bows. Where’s that damn RESET button….

Look who’s refusing to compromise to avoid The Fiscal Cliff. The left is urging Obama to say “I won” again. “…several Democratic lawmakers have suggested that the correct approach would be to let the country go over the fiscal cliff, since that will only strengthen Obama’s position. ‘It’s a hand Democrats are looking forward to playing.'” Fine, go ahead and jump.

FOX News confirms US was holding prisoners at Benghazi annex. “The implication is that the attack on the US consolate was in fact in part strike against the CIA operation which involves holding and interrogating prisoners at the annex…” Well, the attackers likely thought the prisoners starred in the film the Great Gasbag kept babbling about.

Union workers lash out at Hostess after plant closed… (went on strike – now they’re out of work.) “They were told the company would close plants if there was a strike. They went on strike anyway.” BTW… “On January 10, 2012 Hostess Brands filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for the second time. In a statement in its filing, the company said it ‘is not competitive, primarily due to legacy pension and medical benefit obligations and restrictive work rules.'”
