    The Meaning of "Austerity."

    News/Politics

    G20: By the time they're done, you'll still be unemployed and rich people will still pay less in taxes.

    Austerity!: When Austerity comes to America, it will be wrapped in a Democrat.

    Texas: Putting innocent men to death, Claude Jones Edition.

    Iraq: Give it, say, six more months and Iraq will have a competent government.

    Austerity

    The Third World awaits the arrival of the U.S.

    Blogs

    Intoxination: The White House fumbles on the Debt Commission.

    Hollywood Reporter: Republicans like Glenn Beck and Amazing Race. Democrats like Keith Olbermann and Mad Men. I'll take the latter, please.

    Angry Black Bitch: Legos: The Movie. Seriously.

    TMcCarthy0: Philosophy corner.

    Finally

    Sure Patrick Byrne is under investigation by the SEC and just about everyone else. Sure he's running Overstock.com into the ground and using it as his own personal bank. No reason for Fox News not to have him on as a business expert.

    A nation of idiots.
