This would be my Tweet of the Day, and I mean it in all seriousness: Notice how the media treated Catholic Bishops like saints this week?
The US Threatens Iran and Iran is Supposed to Shut Up and Take It
This would be our Tweet of the Day:
I hope a time comes when the United States gets off its high horse and stops thinking it can threaten other countries while simultaneously expecting the other country to shut up and take it.
About The Republican Reaction to Obama Taking Super PAC Money
This would be our Tweet of the Day, which pretty much sums up what Republicans are saying today about President Obama’s decision to take super PAC money:
Poor, Suffering Chevron
This would be our Tweet of the Day:
Poor thing.
By the way, those subsidies come out of We the People’s pocket, as in Our Tax Dollars. We pay Chevron because, according to our screwed up tax code, it can make $51,00o every minute of every day of the year and still claim it needs our tax dollars to stay alive and be a “job creator.”

Herman Cain Isn’t Someone You’d Want to Have a Beer With
It was a slow news weekend but now we have this from Politico, an arm of the corporate-owned DC estblishment:
Exclusive: Two Women Accused Herman Cain of Inappropriate Behavior
During Herman Cain’s tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, at least two female employees complained to colleagues and senior association officials about inappropriate behavior by Cain, ultimately leaving their jobs at the trade group, multiple sources confirm to POLITICO.
The women complained of sexually suggestive behavior by Cain that made them angry and uncomfortable, the sources said, and they signed agreements with the restaurant group that gave them financial payouts to leave the association. The agreements also included language that bars the women from talking about their departures.
And then there’s this, in all its delicious sarcasm:
Exactly.
Herman Cain may have indulged in “inappropriate behavior” but his real sin was being a TOBACCO INDUSTRY lobbyist for God’ sake. I mean, he lobbied on behalf of an industry that put profit$ above people’$ health.
Haven’t we had enough of that?
What a guy.
Michael Bloomberg: The $18+ Billionaire
This would be our Tweet of the Day re NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg who’s worth an estimated 18.1 BILLION.
Got that?
$18+ Billion. That’s with a B.
I’m off tomorrow, volunteering at my local food bank. When I’m there, I think about how the people who come through would love to have an extra $30 much less $18 billion.
The disparity in this country is Un. Real.
H/t to #OWS for their work.
Our Expectations Have Been Too Low For Too Long
