If you think that the current economic collapse is a result of anything other than the result of more than a decades efforts by Wall Street, Federal Regulators, Congress, banks and mega-companies than this excellent graph by Jess Bachman of Wall Stats for Barry Ritzholtz’s book Bailout Nation should blow your understanding apart.

After more than a decade of conducting a dedicated campaign of attacks on abortion clinics and the doctors that bravely staff them, Operation Rescue can add another notch to its gunbelt with the assassination of doctor George Tiller.
Tiller has been on their hit list for years. A hit list that included his home address and obviously his church. Tiller was one of two doctors who provide the controversial, but legal late-term abortions in the nation.
But now he is dead. Shot to death while ushering at his local church. The Pro-Life movement shows the evil and hypocrisy at its core.
I demand that the federal government pursue members of the “pro-life” movement, throwing them in jail, seizing all assets and hunting them like the terrorists they are. America can not tolerate another day with Christian Talliban on its shores.

George Tiller Killed: Abortion Doctor Shot At Church.

Dick. Gagged
Cheney reared his ugly, war crime-committing head today in a policy speech. Wait. Cheney isn’t in power any more. Why the hell is he making a policy speech?
The sad reality is that devoid of any substantial ideas about how to govern this nation, the GOP has adopted a scorched earth policy and is working hard to weaken or destroy any effort the Obama administration mounts. The latest attack dog is former vice president (appointed) Dick Cheney.
Today’s speech was short on anything other than fear mongering and rehashing the failed and soundly rejected policies of the last administration. So why the hell is anyone giving him the time of day, much less the opportunity to speak in front of a camera or a crowd?
The only time I want to hear from Dick before his obituary is when he testifies before a truth and reconciliation hearing and his subsequent trail for crimes against humanity. So. Dick. Sit down and shut up. The bailiff will come for you when the court is ready.
The Onion has a special way of capturing the pain and suffering of the nation and make it funny. Really funny. This may be their best story yet!
