Kerry’s wife defends husband’s lack of charisma – Why did this seem like it was about me? It must be the decades of being a geeky CPA.

John Kerry Asking Wealthy to Pay Old Tax Rate – This guy is such a moron. His claim that the middle class are paying higher taxes due to Bush’s tax cuts for the evil rich is just more donkey droppings.

Wal Mart may make billions of dollars in sales every day; but to expect them to accept a million dollar bill at the cash register definitely earns this Georgia woman a spot on the “Stupid Criminals” list. The Smoking Gun has a photo of this moron, as well as a small one of the million dollar bill.
