Remember. remember the 5th of November:

Bank of America is raising its fees. Citibank is raising its fees. Chase destroys lives. What’s a frustrated, checkbook-owning 99 percenter to do? An LA art gallery owner has a suggestion: On November 5, celebrate Bank Transfer Day and ditch your corporate bank.

Didn’t work out so well for this Shittybank customer:

Title: “Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department”

Author: J. Christian Adams

Rank: 60

Blurb: “A five-year veteran of the DOJ and a key attorney in pursuing the New Black Panther voter intimidation case, Adams recounts the shocking story of how a once-storied federal agency, the DOJ’s Civil Rights division has degenerated into a politicized fiefdom for far-left militants, where the enforcement of the law depends on the race of the victim.”

Review: “Christian Adams is an American Brutus.”

Customers Also Bought: “The Roots of Obama’s Rage”, by Dinesh D’Souza.

Footnote: With enemies like this, Obama doesn’t need friends.

James Madison:

We are free today substantially but the day will come when our Republic will be an impossibility. It will be impossibility because wealth will be concentrated in the hands of a few. A republic cannot stand upon bayonets, and when that day comes, when the wealth of the nation will be in the hands of a few, then we must rely upon the wisdom of the best elements in the country to readjust the laws of the nation to the changed conditions.

As a certain French monarch found, you can’t treat people like shit indefinitely.

Okay, fine, that’s a coplutocrat from Mitt’s salad days at Bain Capital sucking down the legal tender. We’ve just never seen Mitt so, y’know, comfortable with himself.

From the final episode of one of the most beloved shows ever produced by the BBC. This is what crushed the competition back in 1978. Though for some reason it never caught on in the States it achieved an international following and led to stage versions that toured for years coming in to the West End for seasonal engagements.

Offensive? Undoubtedly. It was a nightmare then and has not improved with age. Most offensive? Look at that choreography! Dear God, have we learned nothing from Michael Kidd?

(Check out Pippa around the 27 mark working her way out of the chorus. One longs to reach back into the past to tell her: Darling, that’s not how it’s done.)

Has the detestable homunculus from Texas been unmasked as a prettified himbo wannabe?

If, like me, you were transfixed by the mystery of his double eyebrow during the last Republican ‘debate’ (Romney totally won!) today’s New York Times breaks the story: was it an eyebrow toupée that came adrift? How can a man with no eyebrows lead the Free World?

I can think of no better accompaniment to an election year than this piece of election swag. Now you can boozily be reminded of the class act in charge if our current president kicks it. Then you’ll think, hey drunky, feel better! He’s a lot more qualified than any of the other dudes trying for the job right now. Try not to cry beer tears about the Herman Cain/Frothing Crazy Person ticket that will going to replace both those dude’s. Fuck it; let’s get Bidenebriated.
