On Morning Joe Joe Scarborough loses it in an epic rant against Newt Gingrich who deserved the criticism for his relentless flip-flops on every issue known to man!
List of Assassinated American Politicians (33 Total): 6 Republicans, 18 Democrats
Admittedly reliant on the accuracy of this Wikipedia page. Interesting.
Cognitive Dissonance: Do the riots surprise you?
This could happen here, if things don’t get better!
We in Britain live in a country where the richest 10% are now 100 times better off than the poorest.
We live in a country where brutal cuts and enforced austerity measures are being put in place by our government- cuts and measures that hit the poorest, most…

The Dow dropped 634 points today. It dropped 684 points after 9/11. The actions of the Tea Party Congress have the same effect as a terrorist attack. Good job, guys.
