* If Romney likes firing people, know what he should have been? A religious organization. The Supreme Court has ruled that if someone has any ministry duties, they can be fired for whatever reason and can’t sue for job discrimination. So there’s an actual extra freedom religion has, and it was supported in a 9-0 decision. So we’re always thinking everything is going to hell in a handbasket lately, but there’s some good news here and there. So do you think other businesses are going to become more religious so they can have more control over their own hiring and firing? Wouldn’t be the worst thing ever.
* An Iranian nuclear scientist was killed in a car bomb. But explosions are so common in the Middle East, they consider that a death by natural causes.
So who was responsible? The CIA? Mossad? Teenagers? Yeah, probably punk teenagers. Lou, cancel the prom!
* Warren Buffet said he should be paying more in taxes. So he was told he can just go ahead and write a check and do that. And his response: “No, you do that!” What a little weasel. I mean, he obviously understands giving the government more of his money is basically just tossing it in a black hole and pointless, yet he wants to forcefully confiscate other people’s money for this? I’m starting to think maybe the government should confiscate his money and give it to more responsible, more honest billionaires.
* Hostess has filed for bankruptcy. We all thought Michelle Obama’s healthy eating crusade was funny, but now it’s destroying jobs. Michelle, don’t let your hatred of fat kids destroy the American economy!
* Well, that’s all I have time for today. What did you all find newsworthy today? Hmm. That’s very interesting. Tell me more!
The Car Bomb was obviously an accident and should not be investigated any further.
Can’t sue if they fire me! Better start being nice to the board. Dang hate that.
A bomb in the Middle East? Move along nothing to see.
I do blame Mrs. Big O for Hostess’ demise. Forcing fat kids to eat veggies…we ought to sue. Dang can’t do that “Teh One” is the head of a religion. What is the offical name of the Church of the Beast?
There used to be an old rumor that the only two things that could survive a nuclear holocaust were cockroaches and twinkies. I guess they did not plan on the Obama’s. Now we’ll have to eat cockroaches after WW3.
@Alex C. – accident my furry butt! It’s the work of those damned Quakers, I tell you!
Buffet is a punk. He talks like a socialist so that the OWS crowd won’t show up at his house and crap on his car.
Hey! That give me an an idea…
Romney put his dog on top of his car and claimed the dog probably liked it up there better than being inside with his five kids.
I have several serious questions about this, Frank.
1.) Did he ask the dog what he thought?
2.) What’s wrong with his dog?
3.) What’s wrong with his kids?
4.) Is this suitable behavior from a future President?
and finally,
5.) Where was his cat? In the trunk? (that would be okay.)
I explained the problem hostess is going through to my 11yr old daughter. She insisted we pray for the good people at hostess every time we eat their products.
Seemed like such a good Idea,
I bought 2 boxes.
I think I would rather ride in a box atop a car than in the car with five kids.
Can I sign up to be a cool magnetic bomb wielding assassin on a motorcycle? Seems like all you’d have to be able to do is stick a bomb to a car. And ride a motorcycle. And make sure you get the right car. Hmm, better start my motorcycle riding lessons.
hwuu – what happened to your gravitar? You’ve suddenly become un-bear-able.
@hwuu: It seems that generous union contracts have much to do with Hostess’ bankruptcy. This gives you the opportunity for a learnable moment with your daughter. The next time she asks, tell her that we all want tasty Hostess snacks, but unions are holding fun hostage.
I think this also means that EdthePastor can be summarily banned from these comments without recourse. Frank et al. must be feeling simply dizzy with power. “Hah! You are a pastor! Your opinions may be silenced at any time!”
Newsworthy: There’s a baby on the way and YOU should be in the baby pool. The winner of the baby pool gets to oreo ussjimmycarter’s car.
Or go through his gay porn stash. Or tell everyone he votes Democrat.

CarolynthePregnant – MarkoMancuso selected July 4, 2012 for the date in your baby pool! That’s just not possible! (Is it?)
But I’m sure ussjimmycarter will be delighted he’s the target of an award. I can see him just nancing around his house like Homer Simpson after winning a blue ribbon.
I saw Marko’s date. I hope I’m not that overdue; I’m doing this naturally (I hope) and by July 4 that will be one big baby! The head might be as big as ussjimmycarter’s!!!
Then again she could come out singing:
I’m a Yankee Doodle baby
A real life Yankee Doodle joy
A real life ginger like my family
Born on the 4th of July!
Hostess said in its filing that its biggest unsecured creditor is the Bakery & Confectionary Union & Industry International Pension Fund, which it owes about $944 million.

shorter wingnutz – damn funding those private pension funds. lets go vulture capitalist & dump the persioneers onto the taxpayers
I sort of want Obama to give Hostess a government bailout, but that might mean that Hostess will start making carbon free Ding Dongs that catch fire in your mouth as you eat them.
I usually pray for hostess to shrug off its evil union, although I’m not sure my daughter hears it clearly as by the end of the prayer I have a mouthful of cupcake.
DamnCat- I lose my gravitar when I post from my phone. Seems I can’t keep straight which email account goes with the bear.
Obama is something like a Ho-Ho. Dark on the outside with a white, tasteless filling that contributes nothing to one’s overall health.
