Just last month: The Occupy Wall Street movement, like the Tea Party, is a sign of a broader “anxiety” among middle-class Americans, Jon Corzine, ex-Goldman Sachs chief executive and Governor of New Jersey, told CNBC Tuesday. Corzine, who is now chief executive and chairman of MF Global after losing his gubernatorial seat to Chris Christie, said: “There’s a lot of anxiety in families across the country.” Today: “Corzine: Poster Child

"Sexual harassment settlements: 'cost of doing business'"
Well, sure. And that was well known even before the Politico hit piece on Cain. Which is why the serious, sober, and “sane” journalists are now worried about how the Cain campaign has performed with respect to its spin control, the cover up being worse than the crime and all. Frankly, were you a high-profile CEO in the 90s and you hadn’t ever been accused of sexual harassment, the mainstream
"The one chart that explodes the myth of US income inequality"
I brought this to you before, but there’s no harm in showing it to you again — this time, with a gloss by James Pethokoukis.
"Breaking: California High-Speed Rail Boondoggle Now Officially Texas-Sized"
Bullet trains to nowhere. Unless your destination is, say, staggering waste and then, ultimately, bankruptcy. In which case, all aboard! Nick Gillespie, Reason: Three years ago, voters were sold a project that was gonna cost $43 billion, which now costs $66 billion in 2010 dollars, but the actual cost is gonna be $98.5 billion, if everything goes faster than Carl Douglas doing some kung-fu fighting and the whole system is
"The 99%: Official list of Occupy Wall Street’s supporters, sponsors and sympathizers"
Just like the TEA Party! — Well, if the TEA Party was supported by the Obama, Pelosi, Biden, the American Nazi Party, the Communist Party, Farrakhan, CAIR, North Korea, David Duke, The Socialist Party, Revolutionary Communists, Hugo Chavez, The Black Panthers, ANSWER, Hezbollah, Anonymous, and Iranian TV, I mean. But other than that, they’re practically identical.
Cain, the minstrely Uncle Tom pervert
Oh, c’mon. We’re only joking. Jesus. Lighten up, racists.
November fundraiser begins now [sticky; new posts below; Friday update; Monday update]
This month’s theme: 1) we’ll decide who’s “electable,” thank you so much, and 2) I promise not to grope any of you who don’t explicitly ask me to. Now, leering? That’s a different story. Apologies in advance. But in my defense, well, you know how men are. **** update: About 1/3 of the way there. Thanks to those who’ve contributed. I know times are tough. But if you think you’ve
"Herman Cain meets the D.C. media's scandal factory"
It ain’t just the liberal media, either, let me say: many Perry supporters (and a rather tedious Romney supporter, who’d been spending much of her time prior to the Cain story going after Perry) have showed quite a bit of “concern” over what this story “means” — and have joined the left in mostly moving off of actual “sexual harassment” charges to the supposedly sophisticated, politically trenchant question: “is the
"Senate votes 13-85 against Coburn amendment to save $1B, end duplicative programs"
Party doesn’t matter. Big government is a goal and a comfort and a blessed pander opportunity for both major parties — one of which just happens to want lower taxes, and isn’t too terribly skeeved out by American flag lapel pins. People keep telling me we can’t go third party to wipe out the current GOP ruling elite, then return as the new GOP — that we need to change
