Greece rioting to come to the US??
Will the union members calling for "more activism" in Wisconsin resort to the rioting being seen in Greece. For those not following Greece, the Greeks are near a default on their sovereign debt brought about by massive social programs and government union employment. As the political leaders have been forced to take austerity measures, i.e., cutting pensions, salaries, and jobs, the unions have rebelled, rioting in the streets and fighting with riot police. Many believe Greece is approaching civil war if not a breakdown of society. Is this what the US will see as its political leaders attempt to rein in public spending and overly generous union salaries and benefits?
Habla ingles? A sad commentary
Texas State Senator expresses the view of the vast majority of Americans. If you emigrated to this country in 1988 and are testifying before a legislative body, should you speak English, especially if you are able to speak it?

"We own it"
Florida Congresswoman and Democratic National Committee Chairman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz stated, "We own the economy". You sure do. I couldn't have said it any better myself. The Democrats own this disaster of an economy. The Democratic party line is that Pres Obama's actions averted a Great Depression and turned the economy around. Tell that to the millions of unemployed and under-employed who have been looking for work. The US economy, after the Obama stimulus and other spending boondoggles, appears to have stabilized, but the only "stability" and/or "growth" has come from government. Strip out the government spending and inflation from the data and the US economy continues to shrink. We are very close to the whole ponzi scheme known as the treasury funding mechanism, blowing wide open, which will lead to the destruction of the dollar. Then we will see how much the Democrats want to have ownership of the economy.

Weiner or brat(worst)
The real story here is Congressman Weiner's continued arrogance and total lack of ethics. Actions speak louder than words and Weiner's actions, from his sexting to the constant stream of lies right up until the moment the truth was about to be exposed, belie his false apology and underscore his continued belief that he is better than the rest of us.
Only a truly self righteous, self absorbed individual could stand in front of his family, the nation and the media and throw out false accusations of computer hacking, "it must be a prank on my name", these reporters following "a story that isn't there", and furthermore belittling anyone who dares to question him.
We should have been able to see the facts from the outset as Weiner refused to answer questions, instead going on the offense against legitimate questions. The whole lurid display brings into question the man's character and judgement. Then again, in my opinion, he always has been suspect.
Delusions of grandeur? The real ugly part of this story is just who is Anthony Weiner? From some of the reported sexting, it seems he is either a misogynist or a user of women. Did being characterized as one of New York's most eligible bachelors go straight to his head, or has he always had this view of himself as God's gift?
A note to wife Huma Abedin: Do you really think you can believe anything this guy says?
