She actually reminds me more of Laura Roslin.  Wink
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Republicans really need to check their urban dictionary before they create new terms.
 
You can imagine how I initially responded to news headlines that read "Republicans protest against wasteful spending and higher taxes by teabagging".

Well, the US finally did what it should have done in the first place by buying up $1 trillion of banks' toxic assets. Of course in an ideal world where we had to deal with this mess, the toxic assets would have been bought up way back in November.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

After The Crisis: A Parody of 15 Corporate Logos

Delicious

Bookmark this on Delicious

The 2008 crash is probably the most serious economic crisis we have faced after the Great Depression. Stock markets from around the world fell as much as 20% in a single week, dozens of banks either failed or were rescued by government and private instutitions, and companies started laying off employees as a consequence of the reduced demand.

We know how we entered into the crisis, but we don’t how, when, or how we will be getting out of it. Considering that issue, we decided to our little bit to help cheer everyone up by redoing the logos of some renowned companies …. after the crisis.

Citi

 

 

Xerox

 

 

Ford

 

 

LG

 

 

NIke

 

 

Best Buy

 

 

Ferrari

 

 

Cisco

 

 

Dow Jones

 

 

Yahoo

 

 

Good Year

 

 

Nokia

 

 

Dell

 

 

Chrysler

 

 

3M

Bonus Logo

While Apple is probably one of the more stable companies in our economy, with a robust and diverse set of high-demand products… we just couldn’t resist this one.

Apple

The average U.S. rate on a 30-year, fixed mortgage fell this week as President Obama enacted an economic stimulus and pledged $275 billion to reduce foreclosures. 2/21

Group counters stimulus with Jesus in TV ad 2/22

Volcker: Crisis May be Even Worse than Depression 2/21

Message to Obama: No Risks for Taxpayers and Profits and Bonuses for the Mega-banks. Nationalize Them: If It's Our Risk, It's Our Profit. 2/21

Energy Costs Push Up Consumer Prices in January 2/21

Newly Poor Swell Lines at Food Banks Nationwide 2/20

Anti-stimulus governors protest, but ... 'Being against it doesn’t preclude taking the money' (so says S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford). They'll end up scarfing down stimulus funds like a hungry dieter presented with a box of Valentine chocolates. 2/21

Cruel, unnecessary irony: Jobless hit with bank fees on benefits 2/21

Nearly 5 million Americans drawing jobless benefits 2/21

Jobless Rolls Swell To More Than 6.5 Million, and that is the official numbers 2/20

Inflation not this low since 1955. At zero for the last 12-month period, it would become 'deflation' if prices dropped further. Last period of U.S. deflation was the 1930s. 2/21

Investigation: The oil money behind the anti-stimulus fight 2/21

John, I thought the exact same thing when I saw that.....who cares about these athletes?   About the Palin family soap operas or the OctoMom?  I'm so tired of ignorance and vanity. 

It seems every newscast I watch just makes me wonder what the hell happened to the common sense in this country. 


...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell"
