Weiner has no fallback option

Anthony Weiner (famous for sending salacious pics of himself to young women) has been facing increasing pressure to resign.
As more (and more 'adult') pictures and facts about Weiner are 'exposed' his defenders are dropping like flies.
It is so bad that the press can only try to help him by drumming up sympathy by telling us how badly off he will be if he leaves office now.
Apparently, Anthony 'Tony the Weener' Weiner has no useful college degrees or skills and there is no market for unelected grand-standers out there.
If he is so close to the edge financially, why take such risks?
Obviously he has issues and needs to leave office until he deals with them.

Welcome to our world Tony.
Too few jobs and businesses that won't hire the unemployed.
Thank your fellow Dems (yes, the Republicans helped spend too much money too) for the crappy job market pal.

Caterpillar to create new jobs (in China)

Obama told us that stimulus money would help create American jobs.
Obama told us Caterpillar would create jobs because of the stimulus.
Caterpillar is opening a whole new factory.
In China.
Maybe there are a bunch of Americans living in China that just got hired?

Steinbrenner Family sticks it to the man

When George Steinbrenner died of a massive heart attack this week in Florida, he managed to save his family about $500M and stiff the government on the estate tax that had expired in January and will likely return in 2011.
The savings will allow the family to retain their interest in the Yankee's parent company.
The turmoil of selling their stake would undoubtedly cost some folks their jobs and prevented the family from retaining or adding employees outside of the sports business.

Way to go George!

Great Economics Lecture

Another gem from the American Thinker, by Herbert Meyer:
I love it when someone can teach economics in terms that can be understood by the target audience.
Meyer does a great job of comparing the free market to the command economy.
One great line for the youngsters hooked on "Me Phones" is: "Look, if you've got an iPhone, there's no Republican way to make a phone call or check your e-mail -- no Democratic way, or liberal way, or conservative way. Either you do it the way the operating system wants you to do it, or nothing happens."
Exactly! You have to do what works, not just what agrees with your political dogma. 


Off subject comment: American Thinker uses Bing for advertising dollars and I support their efforts to be profitable (or at least break even) but when will someone make it possible to KEEP THAT STUPID POP-UP OFF MY SCREEN!?! I hate Bing!
