Question:  What do Venomous & Detroit have in common?
Answer:  We’ve both gone belly up financially.
Once the very symbol of American industrial might, Detroit became the biggest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy Thursday, its finances ravaged and its neighborhoods hollowed out by a long, slow decline in population and auto manufacturing.
And just why  is that?
Could it have a teeeeeny weeeeeeny  little something to do with…oh, I dunno…that town being run by Demoscum (and unions, but I digress) the last 50 years or so?
Why, yes…yes, I think it could.
See what happens when you let Demoscum (and unions, but I digress) run things?
Coming soon to a nation near you, America.
Batten down the hatches, sportz fanz.  This is only the beginning.
Denizens, remember when I kvetched long & loud about George “I Guarantee It” Zimmer, late of the Men’s Wearhouse?  The bastard that threw in with the Occutards out there in Oakland?
Yeah, that guy.
Well, Men’s Wearhouse isn’t coming right out & saying it, but it looks as if some of our complaints finally  made it up to the ears of the board.  They fired the fuckhead yesterday.
The men’s clothier said Wednesday that it fired executive chairman and face of the company George Zimmer, 64, who has appeared in many of its TV commercials with the slogan “You’re going to like the way you look. I guarantee it.”
The company announced the move in a terse statement that gave no reason for the abrupt firing of Zimmer, who built Men’s Wearhouse Inc. from one small Houston store using a cigar box as a cash register to one of North America’s largest men’s clothing sellers with 1,143 locations.
[…]
Zimmer said in a written statement that over the past several months he and the board of directors disagreed about the company’s direction.
“Over the last 40 years, I have built The Men’s Wearhouse into a multi-billion dollar company with amazing employees and loyal customers who value the products and service they receive at The Men’s Wearhouse,” he said in a statement. But he noted that “instead of fostering the kind of dialogue in the boardroom that has, in part, contributed to our success, the board has inappropriately chosen to silence my concerns by terminating me as an executive officer.”
Boo-hoo-fuckin’-hoo.
Sounds to me like your decision to side with the Occutards finally bit you in your ample ass.
About damned time, too.  I can go shopping for suits again.
That karma, it do be a bee-yotch, don’t it?

First-time jobless claims for this week:  439,000.
Recession in Euroweaselstan – the second since 2009.  Headed here soon.
Yeah, Demo-bastards…how’s that hopey-changey shit working out for youse?
Fuck it all.
Let God’s judgement rain down on this country.  It’s earned it.

The people in Ohio said that if I voted for Romney, their food stamps would be cut back.
Ohio families receiving food stamps could get an unwelcome surprise come January: $50 less every month in assistance.
For the 869,000 households enrolled in the program for the poorest Ohioans, that could amount to about $520 million annually out of the grocery budgets.
Because of the way the federal government calculates utility expenses for people receiving the benefit, a mild winter nationwide last year, and a lower price for natural gas, many families could experience a significant cut in aid, those familiar with the program say.
Recipients should get a letter from the state Department of Job and Family Services this month explaining the change, said Ben Johnson, a spokesman for the agency.
Gee, I guess elections have consequences, after all.

Denizens, remember when I said that Al-Obambi was cooking the books?
Chalk up yet another WITY™ for Yours Truly™.
Revisions to the way payroll data firm ADP counts private sector job creation have resulted in a sharp drop in the September employment count.
ADP’s new calculations put the monthly job creation at just 88,200, down from the 162,000 the firm originally reported earlier this month.
October doesn’t look like it’s going to be so hot, either.
Heckuva job, Barry.  You sure as hell did build that.
Just got this from my sister-in-law.
It’s kinda long, so it’s below the fold, but you’ll like it, so read it.
That’s an order. 
COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America .
ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It’s 9%.
COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?
ABBOTT: No, that’s 16%.
COSTELLO: You just said 9%.
ABBOTT: 9% Unemployed.
COSTELLO: Right 9% out of work.
ABBOTT: No, that’s 16%.
COSTELLO: Okay, so it’s 16% unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, that’s 9%…
COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE.
Is it 9% or 16%?
ABBOTT: 9% are unemployed. 16% are out of work.
COSTELLO: IF you are out of work you are unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, Obama said you can’t count the “Out of Work” as the unemployed.
You have to look for work to be unemployed.
COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!!
ABBOTT: No, you miss his point.
COSTELLO: What point?
ABBOTT: Someone who doesn’t look for work, can’t be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn’t be fair.
COSTELLO: To whom?
ABBOTT: The unemployed.
COSTELLO: But they are ALL out of work.
ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who are out of work gave up looking and if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.
COSTELLO: So if you’re off the unemployment roles, that would count as less unemployment?
ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!
COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don’t look for work?
ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That’s how Obama gets it to 9%.
Otherwise it would be 16%. He doesn’t want you to read about 16% unemployment.
COSTELLO: That would be tough on his reelection.
ABBOTT: Absolutely.
COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number?
ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.
COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?
ABBOTT: Correct.
COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?
ABBOTT: Bingo.
COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to have Obama’s supporters stop looking for work.
ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like the Obama Economy Czar.
COSTELLO: I don’t even know what the hell I just said!
ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like Obama.
He’s cooking the fucking books.
Period, end, stop.
And anyone who believes this number should not only have their head examined…they should be prohibited from voting, they’re that stupid.
Need a good comeback for the OWS libtards that are outside your favorite Chick-fil-A? Here’s a good one! (Found this all over FB)
And this especially goes for you clowns-in-control; Obamaville Mayor Rahm-mie Boy Emanuel, Beantown beanhead Tommy-boy Menino, and the City of Un-Brotherly Love Michael nutjob Nutter.

Gotta love it!
UPDATE: In case you missed it on your local paper or news, today is also Chick-fil-A’s founder S. Truett Cathy’s birthday. Celebrate appropriately and support his business.
Fox News has just reported that the “individual mandate” portion of Bambicare is constitutional as a tax.  John Roberts sided with the leftist pusstards on the decision.
I say now, and for the record – I WILL NOT OBEY THIS.
I am currently covered under my company’s plan. When it goes away – and I guaran-damn-tee you, it will  go away – I will not get replacement coverage.
Let me say that again:  I will not purchase coverage.
I will not pay any related tax.
I will not pay any penalty.
IRS, you will have to come get me.
If you dare.
Fuck you, Johnita Roberts.
Fuck your wife.
Fuck your kids.
Fuck you, George “Shrubya” Bush, who put the son-of-a-bitch on the Soprano Court in the first  fucking place.
And last but not least – fuck the Hell outta you, B. HUSSEIN!!!  Obambi.
I.  WILL.  NOT.  OBEY!!!!!
UPDATE:  And Denizens, I hate like hell to contradict myself, go hypocritical, make a liar of myself, all that.
But I have no choice.  Apologies to the Vicar, the General, Plett, the Lady, La Reina, Mrs. Venomous – everyone.
But as of now – 0930 hours, 6/28/2012 – I am declaring my intention to vote for Willard Mitt Romney for President of the United States of America.
Because, you see, Obambi – I  know whose ass to kick, you illegal Kenyan son of a slutty crack whore bitch.
To the Miami Heat and its thousands of excuses for fans:
Congratulations on your second purchase of an NBA Championship.  We out here trust you fanboies will get as much joy out of it as you did in 2006, when you purchased Shaquille O’Neal, plus whatever cadre of zebras you needed to see that no one so much as breathed on your honeyboy, Widdle Dway-nee Wade.
Not to mention the fact that Widdle LeBwon couldn’t do shit without a ton of help around him.
And that he still  couldn’t get it done last year against Dallas. 
But we do  hope it will assuage the guilt that you’ll eventually feel someday, knowing that you’ve never won  an NBA title, just purchased a couple of them.
Sincerely, The Rest Of The World Out Here That Doesn’t Give Two Shits About You

Oh, this  is choice.  Check out this headline (h/t Drudge):
Greek default would destroy faith in Europe: Merkel
Faith?  What  faith?
“We need to take steps we can control,” Merkel said, drawing a parallel between the Greek situation and that of Lehman, whose bankruptcy helped trigger the global financial crisis.
“What we can’t do is destroy the confidence of all investors mid-course and get a situation where they say that if we’ve done it for Greece, we will also do it for Spain, for Belgium, or any other country. Then not a single person would put their money in Europe anymore.”
What I wanna know is:  what fool is throwing money into that  socialist hellhole?
Seriously.  If you’re hemorrhaging money into that  pit, come see me.  I can put that money to far  better use.
I need a 2012 Mustang.  Convertible.  Black.  With a DVD/Blu-ray player.
C’mon.
Hell, I’ll even give you one of my t-shirts for your trouble.
Denizens, remember when I said the other day…
Just a guess here, but anyone who thinks the Dow will gain Monday should come see me – I have this bridge I want to sell you.
It’s early, and this may or may not hold – the Dow on its best  days is somewhat volatile – but as I write this, it’s fluctuating between 340 – 360 points of losses.
(UPDATE:  Sure enough, the Dow started rallying right as I hit the “Publish” button – losses are now at 275 points & going up.)
WITY™???
Thanks, Imperial Socialist Congress™.  Thanks, Al-Obambi.  Thanks, fiddy-twoers.
You fucking bastards.
UPDATE the 2nd:  634 points down at the closing bell.
Nice going, Bambi.
Well, Denizens, as you know by now, the Imperial Socialist Congress™ caved to Bambi & the Demoscum over the debt “deal” (Such A Deal™), and the Imperial Senate did likewise the next day.
Not surprisingly, Wall St. showed its disapproval over it – 512 points worth, although no one on the Street will admit the “deal” (Such A Deal™) had anything to do with it, and indeed the Dow gained 61 points back today.
But shortly after that, Standard & Poor’s thumbed its  nose at the Ayatollah & the rest of Al-Obambi, lowering the United States’ credit rating for the first time ever.
Just a guess here, but anyone who thinks the Dow will gain  Monday should come see me – I have this bridge I want to sell you.
It’s begun, people.  Stockpile, lock & load.

Either that, or Obama is incompetent as a lawyer. This article from National Review on-line makes a pretty good case that the Administration is legally and constitutionally bound to service our debt, even if nothing else gets paid. What is more, contrary to the claims of some of our leftest buddies, government transfer payments(Welfare, Social Security, etc) do not count as debt.
(Hat tip to the lovely & gracious Michelle.)
The latest unemployment numbers came out today – and, as has been the case for quite a while now, the numbers are…well…pretty dismal.
But what gets me is the opening paragraph.
U.S. employers added 18,000 workers in June, the fewest in nine months, and the unemployment rate unexpectedly climbed, indicating a struggling labor market.
Exxxx-squeeze  me?  Baking powder?
Lemme see if I have this straight:  First time unemployment requests have topped 400,000 per week for something like thirteen weeks now; the economy produced only 18,000 jobs last month, and the U3 number going up is unexpected?!?!
Really?
Yeah, right.  Pull the other one.
Effin’ morons.
