Early Morning Swim: Rachel Maddow Explains Why There Are No “Macaca Moments” This Election Season
And guess what? Mr. Macaca is back.
And guess what? Mr. Macaca is back.
Former Virginia Sen. George Allen appears to be preparing for an attempt at a 2012 Senate comeback.
The Republican narrowly lost his Senate seat to Democrat Jim Webb in 2006 after a video clip of Allen calling an opposition staffer “Macaca” went viral online. […]
“He’s been telling people privately for a couple weeks that he’s in,” an unnamed source told Politico. “It definitely seems like he’s running.”
Why not? His Confederate flag and “Macaca” slur seem almost quaint now in the wake of Teabaggery.
Look into your future — eh, probably not
Imagine if Americans could protests enough to see that an actual fair result comes the Catfood Commission?
If the Catfood Commission really does plan on raising the retirement age beyond 65, is it possible we can import some new LaFayettes from France?
Demonstrators have taken to the streets of nearly 250 cities and towns across France today expressing their outrage over a government plan to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62.
The masses in France have figured out that the Ponzi Scheme is actually the opposite of what the elites are selling them:
Opinion polls show a majority of French resent the plan to raise the minimum and full retirement ages by two years to 62 and 67 respectively, and feel they are being punished unfairly for a failure in France’s cherished social security system.
Funny how just as in the good Ol’ U.S. of A., the wealthy are pushing this charge so they can get even wealthier, but unlike here, the people are having none of it.
Why can’t they just shut up and watch ‘Dancing with the Stars’, like in America and have some franco-David Brooks say it proves how awesome the nation is for quietly allowing itself to be pillaged (seventy years ago the French David Brooks would have been writing Pierre Laval’s press releases)?
Because that isn’t happening...
With most French citizens supporting the strikes, Sarkozy may be paying the highest price…A poll taken Oct. 6 and 7 shows Sarkozy’s approval rating at just 31 percent, the lowest since his election in 2007.
