So these are the things bothering me in the news these days. Know where you stand so you know how to make your world a better place:

Senator Durbin mysteriously cashed out on a bunch of stocks Sept. 19, the day after then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke predicted the decline and fall of the American economy–but it was totally coincidental, of course.

SC Governor went to the Apalachian Mountains to go hiking, write, relax, and refocus Argentina to cheat on his wife.

Obama continues to increase the size of government as he passes banking regulations that would allow him to take over banks and any private industry that he see fit.

Saudi gov’t gives more power to a ‘morality’ police force (this is not a joke).

Bush took a swipe at Obama’s economic policies by saying that it is the free market, not the gov’t, that will lead us out of this crisis, conveninelty forgetting that he is the one who said that he had to sacrifice free market principles in order to save the free market (which set this pattern in motion).

Senator Barney Frank wants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to relax recently tightened standards for lending. Can you believe this crap!? This is what got us here in the first place.

Gov’t run healthcare WILL drive out private insurers (and this is not a good thing), contrary to what our policians are trying to trick us into believing.

New York considers eliminating the valedictorian or salutatorian honors b/c other students mike get their feelings hurt.

Congress is working its way to telling us all how much money we are allowed to make.

Obama looking to zone oceans. The air is next, and that’s no joke.

The amazing healthcare plan proposed is going to cost over $1 trillion to cover only 16 million people at best. Anyone see a problem here?

You will not be able to resist the urge to yell “Give me a break!” while watching this video:
