THE INCREDIBLY BRIEF STORY OF HOW WE GOT SCREWED - BY PAUL KRUGMAN
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/07/opinion/krugman-confronting-the-malefactors.html?ref=paulkrugman
In the first act, bankers took advantage of deregulation to run wild (and pay themselves princely sums), inflating huge bubbles through reckless lending. In the second act, the bubbles burst — but bankers were bailed out by taxpayers, with remarkably few strings attached, even as ordinary workers continued to suffer the consequences of the bankers’ sins. And, in the third act, bankers showed their gratitude by turning on the people who had saved them, throwing their support — and the wealth they still possessed thanks to the bailouts — behind politicians who promised to keep their taxes low and dismantle the mild regulations erected in the aftermath of the crisis.
Given this history, how can you not applaud the protesters for finally taking a stand?

This WTF brought to you by, Izzazu, where bad Pittsburgh hair goes to dye.

Yo WTF'ers!
Calling Barack Obama America's first gay president, as Newsweek does this week, is more gimmickly tabloid nonsense. as America's great news magazines head further down the crapper.
Mind you, it can be fun to be a sensationalist. Who wouldn't want a gig writing cheesy headlines for the NY Post?
But the Obama cover coming on the heels of the other controversial news magazine cover of just a few days ago, seemingly signals a war of cheesy crap ahead between the once proud Time and Newsweek.
And of course Obama can't be the first black President because Clinton was.
And he can't be the first not too bright President either, because (A.) he doesn't qualify and (B.) the gig's taken.
There is precedent for that President.
Obama is getting a lot of crap for being verbally supportive of gay marriage, but not actually doing much about it.
Steve Chapman of the Chicago Trib has a very interesting take on this, reminding us of another President who had to be dragged kicking a screaming to the right position, a position that eventually would benefit one Barry Hussein Obama.

Abraham Lincoln is remembered today for freeing the slaves. But he didn't start out with that policy, and he didn't get there quickly. He reached his ultimate position only by slowly and painfully "evolving" — while blacks waited and suffered in bondage.
So put that in your stovepipe and smoke it.
Ever get the feeling old Honest Abe wasn't necessarily a barrel of laughs?
FEAR OF BREASTS
Now even though the Time breast feeding cover was cheesy and awkward, I'm STILL continually amazed at the reaction to public breast feeding by the prudish. And we seem to be swimming in prudish in this country.
What do you think will happen to you as a result of public displays of nippleage? Is nippleage even a word? If not, it should be.
My point is you don't have to watch. No one is harmed. No small animals or small babies are harmed in the production of public breast feeding.
Are you afraid you're going to be overcome by an overwhelming urge to suck a breast? That you'll start randomly ripping off womens' blouses for a milky feast?
GET. OVER. IT.
When I first met the breast truck lady, and I'd read in the paper that an "artist" was putting a giant fake breast on top of an old milk truck, I thought hmmmm.
'Cause nothing says "art" like a giant fake breast with a big red nipple on top of an old milk truck. Practically Pee-freakin-caso over here.
But when I came to realize that public breast feeding actually does cause a bit of a frenzy among the overly prudish (and I don't mean a feeding frenzy), I realize the breast lady's art was actually useful and, unfortunately, necessary.
THE ANTI-BULLIES
I'm very pleased to see there is an emphasis on preventing and/or dealing with bullying in the schools. There are even artists performing entire school assemblies worth of anti-bullying propaganda, much of it humorous.

In fact one little boy came up to me after the second performance and confided in me that he is bullied by his older brother and it’s horrible. I confided and told him that I was bullied by my four older siblings too.
He asked me how I dealt with it.
My answer?
I said, “Well, you can do what I did. You can grow up and become a comedian/writer and tell the world how mean your siblings were to you growing up in a funny manner. It’s worked well for me so far…
For generations we've laughed it off. Like, "suck it up, it happens to everybody."
I was always shocked at that adult attitude when I was a kid, and it's about time we stopped that short sighted wrong headed attitude in its tracks.
But even though bullying is common, there is one uncommon bully among us. Or perhaps former bully.
Yes, Ladies and Germs, I'm STILL shocked by the fact (five witnesses quoted in WaPo) that Mittens Romney, when in high school, led a homophobic posse to hold a young gay boy on the ground against his will and forcibly (with Mittens doing the sheering with scissors) give him a haircut.
Never heard of bullying like that. Ever.
There's something very very wrong with this man's mannequin.
Whatdya say we keep our eye on that boy?
