Socialism!!!! Wait a Second, Didn't We Just Nationalize the Banks?

Oh, you haven't heard? There are a bunch of crazy socialists running a muck on Capital Hill! We must stop them!

Wait a second, didn't 263 members of the House of Representatives vote to nationalize the banking system! That's a lot of witches to start a witch hunt.

That included Sen. John McCain. Check these videos out:



Here's Jon Stewart hitting the nail on the head


Let he without sin cast the first stone! $700 billion is a lot of dough. This is why it's okay to be an undecided voter with only 13 days until the election.

Thank you Mr. David Sedaris for pointing this out! I'll end this post with a quote from his piece in the New Yorker:
I wonder if, in the end, the undecideds aren’t the biggest pessimists of all. Here they could order the airline chicken, but, then again, hmm. “Isn’t that adding an extra step?” they ask themselves. “If it’s all going to be chewed up and swallowed, why not cut to the chase, and go with the platter of shit?”

It feels good to think I am not the only voter who thinks this way.

  2. You should check out my latest post from Thursday, Oct. 30. It was my attempt at satire, which I think sent a message and gave some relief of all the hard campaign news that has been floating around. Does anyone have a problem with a little comedy in a journalism blog?
