Pulled this from Ace of Spades’ Overnight Open Thread. We’ve giggled about Greece already here, why not do it a little more? Here a sample of policies that led to the crash. After fifteen years of contribution, a person could retire at 110% of his salary. Retirement was possible at the youthful age of fifty. The unmarried [...]  Greece continues their meltdown. Here’s the summary: “OMG we’re brokage!” “OMG there’s gonna be cuts!” “OMG OMG don’t cut my stuff, dammit!” And there you have it. From Bloomberg: Greece’s GDP will decline 4 percent this year and 2.6 percent next year, according to the Finance Ministry. European Union Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn said yesterday that the austerity measures Greece agreed [...] 
From the Hot Air link, we read that columnist Tommy Christopher sees that March jobs reports, which has unemployment holding at 9.7%, is super-duper good! The headline: March Jobs Report Good News for America, Bad News for GOP All right! Nothing like being a hair under double-digit unemployment to get those happy shivers going down your spine. White House Press [...]  Old Nancy seems to be limping her way ever closer to her goal of 216. She swears she’s got the votes to get this done, and probably by tomorrow afternoon, barring some other delay, we’ll know whether it’s still safe to get sick in this country or not. But with them so close to their goal, we [...]  We dropped a few on Palau. Shipped some to New York. How about if you flatlanders in Illinois get ready for your share now, too?

I’m starting to see a lot a blog posts floating around about the Republicans picking up big seats in the House and Senate and whatnot. I wanted to shoot out a quick post to say, yo’, it’s August 2009. There’s plenty of time between now and the fall of 2010 for bad things to [...]  Isn’t this everything you love about the Dems in one, nice, neat little box? Insanity, fiscal irresponsibility and bucket loads of other people’s money. A $200 back-to-school giveaway for needy kids sparked a mad rush for money on the streets of New York on Tuesday. Thousands of people lined up at banks and check-cashing shops to withdraw the [...]  Obama’s weekly radio address was used in large part to try to deflect some of the mounting concerns over why, exactly, all this money was spent and we’re seeing exactly zero results.
