Friday Funnies:JPMorgan,Mitt Romney

Jay Leno:"The average college graduate now leaves school $27,000 in debt. But the good news is that now it means they are more than qualified to work as financial advisers at JPMorgan."

Jimmy Fallon: "Police in California just burned 34,000 marijuana plants that were growing in a state park. The police were very angry about finding all that weed until the wind changed direction."

 

"David Letterman: JPMorgan lost $2 billion in bad trades. They made bad investments — for example, those gay wedding chapels in North Carolina. What were they thinking?”

"Jimmy Fallon-This week investors will be able to buy shares of Facebook stock for the first time ever. It's great – now you can lose all your money in the same place you lost all your time."

Romney Gains In Polling

  According to a new Gallup poll, GOP president wanna-be Mitt Romney has made an 11% jump in the polling on his favorability ranking. Can you believe it? 50% of Americans have a favorable view of this clown, his highest ratings since Gallup began tracking Romney back in 2006.

Yahoo:

Romney's increasing favorable numbers appear to be fueled by his growing popularity with Republicans and self-described independents. Among Republicans, Romney's favorable number has jumped 22 points since February to 87 percent. Meanwhile, 48 percent of independents view Romney favorably—an 11-point increase since February.

   With those numbers in mind, it’s worth noting that at present more Americans view President Obama unfavorably ( 46% ) than Romney ( 41% ).

Romney's favorable rating is two points lower than that of President Obama—which currently sits at 52 percent.

   I was actually starting to believe that the citizens of America were getting a little bit smarter than in the past. I guess that is not the case, especially among the Republican voters. It would seem that the Independent voter is also losing their mind.
