Ouch Outrageous Obnoxious and Odd: Cenk Uygur Mocks Donald Trumps Many Bankruptcies: From Denny: Where else does a post about blowhard Donald Trump belong than on a humor blog about the outrageous and obnoxious? This "The Young Turks" radio show discussion is hilarious. They rip Donald Trump on his many lies - while they rip Fox News. Today is Double Dip Funny!

The Social Poets: Where Is The Middle Class in America? Half Living Low Income Or Poor


The St. Columbanus Church food pantry in Chicago feeds 500 households a week, but some weeks it struggles to keep up with demand.


The Social Poets: Where Is The Middle Class in America? Half Living Low Income Or Poor: From  Denny:  Where is the middle class in America?  Half of Americans are now scraping by on low income or downright poverty, according to the latest census data.  That's 146 million doing without because of high unemployment, costs that have risen fast, stayed high and suppressed wages.

Mayors of 29 cities say they cannot meet the needs for emergency food assistance, food stamps, and are turning away 25 percent of applicants.  There are already 46 million people on food stamps, a former middle class that never asked for any help until now. Federal and states' programs are frayed at the edges.

And the Republicans claim the Democrats are screaming "class warfare"?  These figures don't lie.  Just where did the GOP expect the unemployed to go?  How do they expect people to eat?

The Social Poets: Funny Jon Stewart Mocks Perry Romney 10K Bet

The Social Poets: Funny Jon Stewart Mocks Perry Romney 10K Bet: From Denny:  This is too funny.  Jon points out that on the GOP national debate stage a Mormon is gambling with an evangelical about who is the biggest liar of the two, to the tune of 10,000 large.  According to comic John Oliver, this feeds into the narrative of Romney being an out of touch rich guy millionaire.

After all, the average person in Iowa makes a $10 bet not a $10, 000 one.  Only rich guys throw money around like that demonstration.

How dumb can you get?  In the worst economic depression in 70 years you have a millionaire making expensive bets in front of an audience trying to figure out how to keep their kids in college and pay their mortgage.

Best Spiritual Posts: Music: The First Noel By Jackie Evancho

O Holy Night (Jackie Evancho album)

Best Spiritual Posts: Music: The First Noel By Jackie Evancho: From Denny: The mature pure talent coming out of this little girl is astonishing. A beautiful voice matched well with this beautiful traditional Christmas song. It's as if you are hearing this old standard for the first time.

The second video is her first audition on America's Got Talent where she swept away the judges. Jackie began singing at age eight when her parents took her to see the Phantom of The Opera. It inspired her so much she began singing around the house. At age ten she auditioned on America's Got Talent - and the rest is history.

The Social Poets: Polls: Voters Yell: Throw Them ALL Out!

The Social Poets: Polls: Voters Yell: Throw Them ALL Out!: From Denny: Americans are fed up with a bad economy, massive job loss, bickering politicians and a weak President who does nothing about it all. The anti-incumbent mood is downright antagonistic toward current office holders, according to the most recent poll released by Gallup. In fact, it's the worst anger against politicians in 19 years.

How many members of Congress deserve to lose their jobs? More than 75 percent of the registered voters said, "Yes, throw the bums out!" By that large margin voters said Congress deserves to be kicked down the road.

What about the all-important Independent voting bloc? They don't think Congress deserves to keep their jobs either, saying so by 80 percent. Republicans weigh in at 75 percent and Democrats at 68 percent.

The Healing Waters: Shopper Beware: Walmart Clothing Rigged With Needles: From Denny:  As you go out to shop during the Christmas season, beware.  Turns out that when two mothers were out shopping they were pricked by syringes purposely placed into the clothing they inspected before purchasing.
