- Hillary Clinton, who regularly
charges hundreds of thousands of dollars to gab at people for an
hour or two, claims the Clintons were
“dead broke” after Bill left office in 2001. - A Veterans Affairs audit revealed that around
100,000 veterans have been affected by long hospital and clinic
waits and that VA staffers have been falsifying records of
appointments. - Documents obtained by a House panel suggest that the IRS may
have illegally given the FBI
1.1 million pages of documents relating to taxpayers
shortly before the 2010 midterm election. - Guantanamo Bay has more men up for release, but some are
skeptical that “a
positive attitude” and practicing yoga is a good enough reason
to let them go. Perhaps the fact that the U.S. government defied
the Constitution by detaining many of them without charges and has
held them indefinitely despite being cleared for release would be
more palatable to skeptics. - “When a two-liter cola is 99 cents and blueberries are over
three dollars, something has gone very wrong,” said Rep. Rosa
DeLauro (D-Conn.), revealing that she has no grasp of commerce but
intends to introduce federal
soda tax legislation anyway. - The number of millionaires worldwide increased by 2.6 million
last year, and 1.1 million of them are in the U.S. That means there
are now more than 7 million millionaires in this country. Being
called “one in a million” isn’t so much a compliment as it is a
statement of fact.
