By Uppity Woman on May 31, 2009 in Souter Vacancy, Supreme Court | 123 Comments

No kidding. You can’t make this shit up. This animal actually said that. I just cannot believe it. I mean I really can’t believe it. I’m so pissed off I had to post this on my “day off!”.
Toss another knuckle-dragging sack of crap into the pile that guarantees the Republican Party will never recover. Imagine [...]

Congress pretends to rein in credit card companies with a wink, a nod and probably some nice contributions »

By Uppity Woman on May 19, 2009 in American Consumers, Banks, Credit Card Companies, Credit Risk, Economy | 22 Comments

The Senate is getting ready to address the bill that was initially intended but they broke their promise to rein in thieving credit card companies that have taken to arbitrarily punishing good, reliable customers for their own bad management and greed. But don’t expect much So what else is new? from Congress. [...]

Senator Vitter, looking for more Cha Ching, blocks the appointment of Craig Fugate to FEMA »

By Uppity Woman on May 12, 2009 in Congress (House & Senate) | 9 Comments

Editor’s Note: Kudos (!) to Uppity for producing this report on Vitter’s astonishingly disgusting stunt.
…………………………………………………..
Our own Freedom Fairy drew my attention to the fact that the appointment of Craig Fugate to FEMA is being blocked by Senator David Vitter. Our own Freedom Fairy not only reminded me, but she actually knows and worked with Craig [...]

Sinking newspapers and who is up to No Good »

By Uppity Woman on May 10, 2009 in Congress (House & Senate), John Kerry, Media, Print | 27 Comments

At a time when our National Debt has now reached a level so large that most Americans don’t even know exactly how many zeros are attached to it, John Kerry wants to make newspapers “Not for profit” so that they no longer have to pay taxes.
Hours before a Senate hearing on struggling newspapers, Sen. John [...]

Flu Kitteh not wantz UR girmz

Say, Mr. President: Do you suppose you could do something for Roxana Saberi BEFORE she dies? Thanks! [Update] »

UPDATE: “Report: U.S. Reporter Held in Iran Hospitalized“: “Reporters Without Borders says the American journalist on a hunger strike for two weeks to protest her imprisonment in Iran was briefly hospitalized after she intensified her fast by refusing to drink water.”

**Update**Check your bank’s rating and list of closed banks to-date »

By Uppity Woman on May 4, 2009 in Bank Failure, Banks, FDIC | 5 Comments

***Update*** This post was originally published on February 26. However, due to numerous searches for keywords “Failed Banks” and “Bank ratings” which lead searchers to this blog, I feel a sense of responsibility to update and republish it with additional bank closings added to the list. As you can see, there have been quite [...]

Arlen Specter’s words »

By Uppity Woman on Apr 30, 2009 in Arlen Specter, Congress (House & Senate), Pennsylvania | 30 Comments

Toss in the point at which Coleman stops making a fool of himself, and the Magic Number in the Senate is 60. Gee, the Republican party sure made a smart move alienating Specter, hey? One could almost imagine that they were working for the Democratic Party.
Hanging on like a dog with a rag in its [...]

A badly needed gift for Socially Challenged Larry Summers »

By Uppity Woman on Apr 25, 2009 in Larry Summers | 8 Comments

During discussions of what a racist, bigoted, sexist pig Larry Summers is, one commenter got to the heart of Larry’s problem.
The knocks against Mr. Summers are by now familiar. During his five years at Harvard, his most high-profile moment came in 2005 when the school’s faculty attacked him for comments he made about differences between [...]

Now that the damage is done, our President pledges Credit Card reform »

By Uppity Woman on Apr 25, 2009 in American Consumers, Banking Institutions, Credit Card Companies, Larry Summers, President Barack Obama | 47 Comments

Pretty much everyone you know has already been gouged by credit card companies while the Band Played On.
Congress said nothing, the President said nothing. Nobody stopped every major credit card company in the USA from screwing with everyone’s credit scores by cranking up their interest rates in mid-stream and offering customers no options other than [...]

Are you overweight? Get ready to be the next global warming, energy and health care target »

By Uppity Woman on Apr 23, 2009 in Current Affairs | 47 Comments

Your government is getting ready to tell you a bit more loudly that if you are overweight, you are to blame for energy waste and Global Warming, which are caused by cars, smoking unless it’s the president, living, cow farts, inhaling, exhaling, driving to work 30 miles away, cooking, heating your home in winter, turning [...]

Only 610,000 people filed for unemployment last week. Things must be better. »

By Uppity Woman on Apr 21, 2009 in Economy, Home Loan, Housing & Housing Crisis, Unemployment | 37 Comments

The word is, only 610,000 people filed for unemployment last week (a holiday week). That’s a drop from previous weeks.
Let’s all go out and buy a car.
Of course, let’s face it, the number would almost have to go down at this point, simply because there are fewer people left out there who are actually [...]

Who’s in charge? »

By Uppity Woman on Apr 18, 2009 in Current Affairs, Michelle Obama, President Barack Obama | 97 Comments

Dogs. They are wonderful, you know. They love to be part of their pack. Their pack includes you. They like to know the pecking order. They look for a leader. If they don’t have a leader, they become a leader.
This brings me to the question of who is in charge as the leader in the [...]

The Hill reports that a swarm of bees was discovered in Michelle’s Victory Garden. The Hill reports this as a benign incident, but Uppity knows better and has her own report below.

Dead on the pavement with your PUMA »

By Uppity Woman on Apr 10, 2009 in General Motors & Chrysler, treasury department | 50 Comments

Well would you look at the Piece of Crap GM hopes to put on the road? A death trap named PUMA, of all things.
How come Ralph Nader doesn’t spend more time doing what he was actually good at instead of running for President? There was a time when Ole Ralph would have had a [...]

A dead rose by any other name still stinks….. »

By Uppity Woman on Mar 25, 2009 in AIG, Christopher Dodd, Economic Stimulus, Economy | 13 Comments

Using the AIG rendition of the social idiot who shows up at the party wearing a plastic groucho nose, eyebrows and glasses prop, AIG tore down their headquarters sign this weekend and unceremoniously, if not surreptitiously, changed their company name to AIU–although IOU seems to be a more appropriate name.
No kidding. You can’ make this [...]

For your amusement: Unruly teen deterrent: Barry Manilow »

By Uppity Woman on Mar 18, 2009 in Current Affairs | 26 Comments

Technology has given us devices that act as flea and mosquito deterrents, but they have never quite been able to develop a device that deters or at least pacifies a larger more common pesky species known as Narcissistic Unruly Teens who tend to hang out in large intimidating groups in public places.
You’ve seen them at [...]
