Don't you just love it when Mitt Romney gets caught in a lie or other embarrassing moment? He gets that constipated grin on his face like a baby trying to pass a load. This followed by stumbling and prefacing his response with "of course". And we know the next thing out of his mouth will have nothing to do with the actual question.
And now that the east coast clean up begins you watch. The right wing will now start to blame the victims for all the destruction and expect those that can least afford pay for it to foot the bill. What's the plan? Cut grandma off her heating subsidy? End school lunches for the poor? Or maybe end help for rape victims. It's how they roll. And I'm almost positive they're looking into ways to profit from all this misfortune. I'd bet anything Bane just invested some big bucks in some local construction companies and material suppliers. Romney's like the morbid undertaker in the western who measures the gunfighters for their coffin just before the showdown. You know the little weasel.
Jobs report
The unemployment figures ticked up by a whopping point one percent. You know the right will try to make hay out of this but if memory serves correct this is about the time of year when the crops are finished with harvest but not close enough to the Christmas buying binge to hire more help. And with Sandy it just might put a crimp in sales of the cheap chinese doo dads we waste our money on. More focused on basic survival in Jersey or NYC than impressing aunt Martha with an oh so cute stuffed toy or singing wall mounted fish. I feel for them as every huckster and scammer will be out in full force trying to bilk the vulnerable out of their life savings. Happens every disaster.
Banks
Interesting to note that the foreign banks are getting their knuckles cracked for their excesses and wrong doing while we hear little of our own Wall Street crooks. True enough three of our major banks are being sued but I'll bet a weeks wages we won't be seeing a perp walk any time soon.
Bank fails later.
UPDATE: Two bank fails this week one in FL. and one in IL.

So it's business as usual I guess. I am so sick of the election bullshit I cannot even look at an Obama commercial.
Next election I'm voting early and leaving town for a few weeks up country in the deep woods.
I loved those 81 days without rain and it's not raining here right now so that makes me happy. I should be outside messing around but I'm killing a little time at the computer before taking Helen to the bank.
Then we'll go to lunch.
High unemployment rate here, I'm hopeful that some of these monkeys will move somewhere else.
Crum my mute button is almost worn out.
Billy you know when the monkeys leave they'll just be replaced with other monkeys. Enough feriners want to come here and there's an endless supply. The last influx were Ukrainians and Russians and I expect an inflow of Greeks, Portuguese, and Spaniards.
Many of them here are moving to your area, I'm good with that, you are welcome to them.
