The Systematic Draining of America's Economy, Culture, and Pride.
With an unprecedented number of public speeches in the first 90 days and an appearance on the Tonight Show, Obama seems to be losing ratings faster than people are losing pounds on The World’s Biggest Loser.

With all the talk about bailouts, bonuses, foreclosures, excess spending, and the growing deficit, have you ever wondered, “how the hell did we get here in the first place?”
I have written countless articles on The Slow Bleed that talk about various individual components of this immense screw up. Most of them target a horrific combination of greed and stupidity.

Congressional Representatives make $174,000 a year (about $87 per hour) and the increase is an automatic cost-of-living raise. In their defense this was created several years ago and the percentage increase is below normal. [Read more...]
Keep the Godfather Caffeinated! Donate to the Diet Pepsi Fund.The secret is finally out. Where did all the money come from? Bill Clinton has disclosed the 208,000 donors to the Clinton foundation and presidential library. This was largely a requirement for Hillary to take the Secretary of State position and show no “outside influences.”
