Madoff couldn't meet his $10 million bond. The judge let him go anyway so the evil sonofabitch is soothing his pain in his $7 million Park Avenue penthouse.

Southern Republican senators are waging war against the economic interests of the country by stopping the auto industry bailout. If they can bring Detroit to its knees, all the better for them and the foreign (non-union) companies in their states.

The Bushites hand out $700 billion to Wall Street with no restrictions or oversight. Bush will lend Detroit $17 billion so long as the car makers ensure reductions in worker pay.

Many corporations are using bankruptcy to rid themselves of pension obligations, leaving innumerable seniors swimming without a life preserver.

Fed Ex makes a profit and cuts salaries.

The criminal, Dick Cheney, believes torture is a good thing.

Today the criminal operation known as Bush/Cheney is busy selling off our treasured public land at auction to the highest bidder.

Foreclosures continue to increase.

The war rages on.

Afghanistan was lost a long time ago but the powers that be are sending 20,000 more US troops into harms way.

The military is taking just about anyone, including morons, felons and Nazis.

The ice is melting.


Happy Friday the 19th!
