America's junkiest cities - Jun. 1, 2010
"Think Greece and Spain are drowning in debt?
Look a little closer to home.
Seven U.S. cities recently had their municipal bonds downgraded below investment grade.
Their debt is now junk, considered more worthless than that of the so-called PIIGS."

'Peace convoy'? This was an Islamist terror ambush
"It is becoming ever more clear that Islamist terror attacks like this are fiendishly staged theatrical events in which the western media – and beyond them, western governments -- play an absolutely essential role in the drama.
If those media and governments refused to swallow the lies and instead called operations like this and the players behind it for what they actually are, such terrorist operations would not happen.
The Islamist strategy of war against Israel is carefully calibrated to deploy the most effective weapon in its armoury in the cause of jihadi violence – the western media.
Right on cue, western governments accordingly deliver their own script in condemning the victims of terror for defending themselves.
And so, courtesy of the west’s fifth columnists, yet another nail is driven into the west’s own coffin."

America faces a big, fat Greek-style bankruptcy
WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: America faces a big, fat Greek-style bankruptcy - Opinion - ReviewJournal.com
"So what caused this?
Big government and government employee unions.
Greece's problem is Europe's problem ... and following closely behind, America's problem, too.
We're all Greeks now.
Quite simply, Greece's problem starts and ends with government employee unions.
There are too many government employees (one of every three Greek citizens works for government); their salaries are way too high; their bonuses can be described only as insane (2 months for each public employee); their pensions are ridiculous (retirement far too young and free health care for life); and their government jobs are guaranteed for life."

"British Columbia is replacing block grants to hospitals with fee-for-procedure payments and Quebec has a new flat health tax and a proposal for payments on each medical visit -- an idea that critics say is an illegal user fee.
And a few provinces are also experimenting with private funding for procedures such as hip, knee and cataract surgery."

"HBO's Bill Maher: 'I thought when we elected a black president, we were going to get a black president.
You know, this [BP oil spill] is where I want a real black president.
I want him in a meeting with the BP CEOs, you know, where he lifts up his shirt so you can see the gun in his pants.
That's -- (in black man voice) 'we've got a motherfu**ing problem here?'
Shoot somebody in the foot.'"
Those leftist comedians, ya just gotta love 'em..... or maybe shoot them?
