Hallmark Launches Line of Sympathy Cards for the Unemployed

You don’t realize it now
Due to your sudden autonomy
But your lack of a job
Is stimulating the economy

Congratulations on your recent layoff!
Michelle Malkin » Hallmark Launches Line of Sympathy Cards for the Unemployed

isn't capitalism grand?

I really wonder what their progressive professors will be saying when they get a chance to see the heroes. You do know, of course, that this whole thing was organized by older men, many of who took part in the first Day of Rage thing in 1968 or 9. You know those people like Bill Avery, Bernadine Dohrn, and some of those old Weather Underground people. You do know that many of those people found themselves in professorial jobs and are still doing it.

Once more, that video was a pure crock of Pelosi and there were few if any more bits like on it.
lol...why is every protesting college student assumed to be a "spoiled elitist"....?Some take out loans or are on scholarship, they dont pay tuition in all cash

It sounds like a talking point from Beck or oxycontin-Rush. Why do you despise young students so very much?

In his defense, maybe it's not that he despises young students, but that he supports the banksters and the bailouts.

You might find Ron Paul's take on Glass Steagall interesting. He did not support the repeal, but keep in mind he's a free market guy. If they made bad investments, they would suffer the consequences. Iow, no bailiouts.
He comments on it at 2:45

Default Why Won't The Tea Party Join The Occupy Wall Street Movement?

It's suppose to be a grassroots movement, so why won't it show up? Is it because the Tea Party is backed by Wall Street?
