GOP: Cut Medicare/Social Security

Posted By Rod Kaufman

As usual, the post election shows the GOP to live up to its true colors by proposing cuts in social security and medicare. The GOP was accusing Obama of cutting the latter, right us to the day of the election. I don't know who got more of the geriatric vote in the election but I hope they hear what the GOP is proposing for the fiscal cliff:

More No from the Party of No

Posted By Rod Kaufman

By a two to one margin, Americans will blame the GOP if we go over the fiscal cliff.

If the GOP doesn't change its ways, it'll go bye bye like the tea party...

Thanks to the CIA's ability to inflict cancer and the Cuban medical system, Chavez may soon die. This is the best way for despots to leave power. Maybe democracy (or the South American flavor of it) will take its place.

Election's Over: Gas Prices Down

Posted By Rod Kaufman

So the refineries and their shutdowns were the cause of the big spike in Ca gas prices? Nope, emissions data show they were up and running:

And the rest of the country? What, the refineries shut down, too? And then miraculously restarted at the same time?

And the world demand for oil, especially in China and India, just dropped off overnight? Somebody flip a switch?
