Bailout Update: McCain Own Worst Enemy

by Propagandee September 29, 2008

Damn!
It’s getting harder and harder to write satire these days when Insane McCain seems so intent on pushing the envelope of self-parody.

by Propagandee September 22, 2008

As ye sew, so shall ye reap…
A list of what this latest, inevitable crash of Wall Street has cost some of its leading enablers (from yesterday’s NY Times).

Wrecking the Economy

by Propagandee July 29, 2008

Impact of two terms of Bush’s management of the US Economy
The Bush Administration today issued a mind boggling record deficit projection of $482 billion for 2009. And that’s not even counting the off-budget estimated $80 billion being spent in Iraq and Afghanistan, nor the cost of the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac and homeowner bailout bill.
