David Letterman :“New Republican Presidential candidate Jon Huntsman is fluent in Chinese. In a short period of time the Republicans have come quite a long way. The last Republican president wasn't even fluent in English."

Jon Stewart: "No! Not Captain Buzzkill! Not the guy who looks like everyone who ever fired your dad! He's gonna suck all the fun right out of this crazy thing. Just look at the online video announcing his run. It looks like it could double as an ad for erectile dysfunction pills. 'Mitt Romney: for when the moment's right.'"

Conan O'Brien : "Lenscrafters is upset with Tea Partier Michele Bachmann because she called Planned Parenthood 'the Lenscrafters of abortion.' Lenscrafters released a statement today calling her 'the Costco of crazy.'"

Jay Leno: "Did you see that video where a crying baby is handed to President Obama? As soon as the president holds the baby it stops crying. Do you know how rare that is these days; that a politician is handed a baby from a crowd and it's not his?"

"That's pretty amazing. The baby stopped crying as soon as the president held it. Obama should try that with John Boehner."

"Sarah Palin has canceled the rest of her bus trip around America. She had to quit before she got to Mount Rushmore and somebody asked her to name the Presidents.”

Conan O'Brien: "Today Sarah Palin canceled her bus tour, reportedly canceling dates in Iowa, South Carolina, and New Hampshire. When asked why, Palin answered: 'It turns out those places are nowhere near each other.'"

Social Security Under Attack…

…and this should come as no surprise to anyone as you should have known that the Republicans would be placing a target on this most popular program for retirees. Yes, once again, the American Taliban and the Koch Brothers are pushing for privatization of Social Security as well as a rise in the retirement age to the age of 69.

   It is class warfare and you and I are on the losing end of this stick at this point in time only because we have a weak leader in the White House who has a bunch of wimps helping him in both the House and the Senate. Thus far, the majority of the Democrats have been both spineless and gutless when it comes to doing battle against the Republicans and their corporate masters. Let us not forget that quite a few of the Democrats are also bought and paid for by the likes of the Koch brothers and big business. I’m wondering lately if President Obama is also in the midst of the group.

  Let us listen to a little bit of the dirt in the Koch brother’s closet, and to who the two donate some of  their cash to. It seems that spreading falsehoods and misinformation to the general public is an expensive task.
