While you were sleeping, Texas Governor James Richard Perry declared for the Presidency in Charleston, SC in the shadow of Fort Sumter. No one told him he was 150 years too late to be President of the Confederacy and that a man who thinks he’s Abraham Lincoln is already in the White House. Perry’s alma mater, Texas A & M is also planning to secede from the Big XII Conference.
The Pentagon released the names of 36 soldiers killed in Afghanistan and most were Navy Elite Seals killed in a helicopter crash on a rescue mission.
The new movie about angry primates attacking the system and gaining control of government heads up the Box Office, subtitled, “The Tea Party Wins in The House”.
Republicans also have a plan to save Social Security. We are going to save Social Security by destroying it. We are going to prepare for our old age by allowing fund investors to churn Social Security funds into big paychecks for someone’s future.
* I just thought you might like to know what happened while you were sleeping. Now you can go back to sleep.

How We Got Here in the Financial Crisis
The problem is this, the country had a surplus under Clinton. Bush gave tax cuts to the wealthy in a disportunate way. Bush initiated two wars in response to 911, without paying for either of them with taxes. The debt ballooned, and we had a financial crisis because of greed and lax regulation. Obama ended no wars and piled on additional spending in an inadequite stimulus and the crap hit the fan. There is enough blame for everybody, we need to fix the problem.
