Maxim may have a lock on pictures of hot ladies, but by putting Michelle Obama at 93 on their list of the Hottest 100 Women, they’re shitting in our corner of the internet. Not to be upstaged, here’s PinkoMag’s view of the 7 hottest first ladies in United States history. Memo to Maxim: You can’t say hot without also saying “Angelica Singleton Van Buren” so step back.

Here’s Rick Santelli’s rant, wherein he calls for the punishment of the Stupids who bought houses during the Ownership Society and cheap-credit days and are perhaps now having a hard time paying the mortgage due to their bonehead decisions like losing their jobs because their companies can’t borrow to cover payroll due to the overwhelmingly [...]

NEW BAILOUT ALERT!!! NEW BAILOUT ALERT!!!
Again, much thanks to T-Sec Hanky Poo. This second round of 800 billion goes through without Congressional approval even! I guess there’s no sense trying to cram this into the news cycle before Thanksgiving.
Anyway, sounds like a lot of money, right? But the government’s so big. Surely this is but [...]
