Feral Leftist Mob Attacks Madison (in Right Wing's Imagination)
What happened last night in Madison, Wisconsin? According to Fox Nation, "Rabid Leftists Storm Wisconsin Capitol After Vote"! If only. Perhaps better characterized as a large community of shocked and betrayed workers? (Who are not unlikely to have a victory in court, some months and years from now.) Above is a picture of the "rabid leftists" currently "storming" the Capitol in Madison this morning. (Actually: patiently waiting for the building to open.) Here they are knocking on the locked doors, just now. Don't they look like wingnuts? Or maybe more like middle-aged working people. Last night, says the local paper, "Thousands of protesters rushed to the state Capitol Wednesday night.... Police and protesters continued to get along, with no incidents reported and no arrests."

So We Guess By Maybe 2018, John Yoo Will Be Disbarred
Okay, we can all sleep at night. The National Archives and Records Administration has asked the Justice Department to investigate the missing John Yoo emails; Justice says there is a "review" underway.

Let me tell you why. READ MORE

Bonner and Associates, Bonner and Associates, Bonner and Associates, Bonner and Associates, Bonner and Associates. That was just to make sure we do our part to increase the Google record that explains that-guess who!- Bonner and Associates has employees have for years impersonated organizations that represent actual people and then lobbies Congress in the opposite political direction. What's more evil than that?
Citi, Bank Of Liars
Citigroup's quarterly results, announced this morning, are a huge pile of bullshit. That the New York Times would headline their story "After Year of Heavy Losses, Citigroup Finds a Profit" is fairly dubious-although "finds" is hilarious. That's because Citi actually went out and found a way to make it look like they had a profit. We found a great explanation of what Citi did, in a toss-off by John Carney during the earnings conference call. READ MORE
Goldman Sachs, Liars
The huge fat lie that layoffs are necessary for companies to succeed in these times was exposed today when Goldman Sachs issued its quarter 1 earnings. Dealbreaker notice the key data: the company's headcount was down 7% over the previous fiscal year. And yet! Compensation and benefits for staff were up 18% over the previous year, "primarily due to higher net revenues." Got it, boys.
