Newsworthy Flotsam & Jetsam From Around The Kingdom

Among the more startling, pathetic and in some cases amusing Tales of Woe from around The Kingdom of The Poor Bastard are these stories currently churning across the Grand Poo Ba's news feed...


From the AP Wire:

Police: Navy SEAL accidentally shoots self-

http://news.yahoo.com/police-navy-seal-accidentally-shoots-self-022731883.html

Yep, that's right folks, this Poor Bastard shot himself in the head while he was showing off his guns to a woman he had just picked up in a bar...not sure if there is anything that can be added to this one!



From ABC News:

John Huntsman Gets Boston Globe Endorsement-

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/jon-huntsman-gets-boston-globe-endorsement-033009692--abc-news.html

No sh*t Sherlock!....the leading republican presidential candidate can't even wrangle an endorsement out of his home state's biggest and most influential newspaper!...Talk about a True Poor Bastard. 

For those of you who may not be concerned with such minutia Mitt "The Glit" Romney is an aspiring Presidential Poor Bastard and former Governor of the State of Massachusetts where the Boston Globe has long held major sway in matters of political intrigue.....

It just doesn't get any better than that, especially if you are Barack O-blah-blah-bama and the inept democratic party!


From The Huffington Post:

Ben Bernanke's Solution To The Housing Crisis: Renting Foreclosed Homes-

That's right folks! Ben Bernanke, The Duplicitous Poor Bastard and head of the federal reserve bank - which is not "federal" in any sense of the word - has announced that he thinks the "solution" to the housing crisis is for lenders to start renting out the foreclosed homes in their possession.

And why not?...They have been given BILLIONS of Poor Bastard Taxpayer money in the form of bailouts, buyouts and subsidies; while at the same time refusing to loan money to any Generic Poor Bastards who might actually be interested in purchasing one of these bargain-basement homes to live in! Which leaves them stuck with millions of foreclosed homes among their "portfolios" of seized loan collateral.

Another brilliant piece of economic strategy from the same Crooked Poor Bastards who engineered the collapse of The Kingdom's economy in the first place!



And Last But Not Least: 

YEAH, HE'S HAPPY - Jobless Rate Falls To Lowest Level In Nearly Three Years-

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so we will just leave it at that!
