No More Mr. Nice Guy!

A rising tide lifts all giga-yachts

If it's Friday, it must be time for Junior's White House to issue another news release that they want to slide under everyone's radar. They already have a long tradition of burying releases about new anti-environment policies on Fridays when they hope fewer people are paying attention (See this PDF document.) Now they've released figures which show that poverty is up and the median income is down for the second year in a row. Not surprising, given that George Bush Junior has been a one-moron weapon of mass destruction against the US economy.

Mind you, it's not all doom and gloom for everyone. The richest Americans are getting richer! Their biggest problem is how to spend all their moolah, and the latest trend is giga-yachts that dwarf everything else previously seen on the water.

Junior has felt the billionaire's pain, and rallied to the rescue with his tax cuts for the top 1%. Once again we see that his "compassionate conservatism" is as phony as his "genuine leadership".
