Ok I'm going to try to post this here.

Backgroung: Jon Stewart gets invited onto the CNN show crossfire to, assumedly, BE FUNNY! Unfortunately (fortunately for us!!), the presenters completely misjudge Jon and end up looking like EVEN BIGGER idiots than they did before.




This is amazing. I cannot be happier with how this turned out!! Jon Stewart, my hat goes off to you.

Hey, it happens. More than we'd like to admit.

It's a natural process. Sometimes you just gotta say,
"HEY! I'M SICK OF YOU BENDING ME OVER AND SPANKING ME BARE ASS, GOVERNMENT!! WE'RE THROUGH!"

Just the way the tallest tree will fall and make resourceful soil for new coming trees, just as the governments will fall and create an infrastructure for how the next one should and should NOT be.

Now You Know. Liberty's Expensive.

Sum up:
-Detroit closes half its schools in an effort to pay off the deficit of $327 million.
- This raises class sizes to SIXTY students per classroom!!

On the other side:
COMING TO A STORE NEAR YOU!
F-22 Raptor: only the 2nd most expensive fighter jet at $350 million.

If only DETROIT had one of these! They could just sell it to Isreal and be MMOONNEEYY

What is the most expensive, do you ask???? I never thought you would!!!
Get 'em while they're hot, boys and girls!! With just 3 easy payments of 8 million dollars, you can have your very ownnnnn

for the very very low price of $2.4 billion

it's the B-2 SPIRIT!!

However, due to funding, the American military ONLY made 21 of them. So supplies are limited.

Thanks for playing!

Now You Know. Liberty's expensive.

Blame game, Blame game, Who is to Blame?




Full article here.

So here we have Chipotle firing illegal immigrants because of the crackdown we've been having on the poor "untouchables." I can say that. I am Mexican. My entire family worked their way through this system my being the "untouchables" of society: the cooks, the dishwashers, the maids, the fast food workers, etc. Ok so fine. We can SAY that they are taking jobs away from the 9%+ of people unemployed that are LEGALLY here.

BUT if we are going to start playing the blame game, there's PLENTY more we can talk about that makes illegal immigrants look like chump change in comparison.












Wal-Mart:
So far, more than 70% of the commodities sold in Wal-Mart are Made in China.

Last year, the firm bought $15 billion products from China, half from direct purchasing, the other from the firm's suppliers in China.

More than 5,000 Chinese enterprises have established steady supply alliances with Wal-Mart

"Photo Op!! Say Cheese! Pretend like we're friends! No one will notice!"

OUR OWN GOVERNMENT:

the White House announced $45 billion in new trade deals with China, including

a $19 billion deal with Boeing and a package with GE expected to generate more $2 billion in U.S. exports.

Some economists say the deals will hurt U.S. efforts to end the jobless Great Recession.

BLAME THE RIGHT PEOPLE! That's all I'm saying.


No really. I can't say anymore. I have to get out of this house and on to class!
