1. Any headline like that is fabulous.
I hope to see more and more and more of this as we get into 2012.

4. Even fox is having a bit of a problem...
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/11/21/are-willing-to-cut-defense-to-help-cut-deficit/


No. With the state of the world, defense cuts should be the last resort, not the first. 57.1% (34,999 votes)


Not sure. Government needs to be cut everywhere, just worried about weakening our national defense. 11.9% (7,292 votes)


Yes. Figure out what's needed to defend America and cut the rest. 29.88% (18,318 votes)


Other (post your opinion). 1.13% (690 votes)

10. I just saw a CNN poll that said 69% want to tax the rich, 39% republicans want to tax rich
WTF is the problem here? Collectively we have 70% of the country wanting to tax the rich and idiots are still scratching their heads.

11. Taxing the rich
Grover Norquist has/had just about everyone in congress, that is republicans, sign a plague that says under NO circumstance will they allow for any increase in taxes, even though there is a group of millions that say please tax us - it would be good for the people and america.

Plague is the right word for Grover Norquist, because he makes me sick.
