Did you know that the U.S. Dollar has lost 97% of it's purchasing power (value) since 1913, the same year Congress passed the notorious Federal Reserve Act? Few Americans know the truth about the Federal Reserve. The reality: the Federal Reserve is no more a part of the federal government than is Federal Express. The Federal Reserve is a private corporation run by private bankers. Why should we care? Read More: http://globalpoliticalawakening.blogspot.com/2010/12/worst-year-ever.html added by: GLOBALPOLITICAL

As you’re probably aware, the United State of America is in a pretty serious rut. Face it: We’re kinda screwed. But, there is hope: In the coming week , Congress is likely to pass the Commercial Advertising Loudness Mitigation Act (CALM), which “should finally ban TV ads that blare louder than the programs they interrupt.” Yeah, on second thought, we’re still screwed.

US President Barack Obama, seen here on November 10, has proposed a freeze on most government pay in a move designed to trim the country#39;s massive deficit. On the eve of a face-to-face meeting with his Republican adversaries, Obama said the freeze — which must be approved by Congress — would save more than five billion dollars in the rest of the 2011 fiscal year and in 2012. US President Barack Obama on Monday proposed a two-year freeze on most government pay, as a fierce political battle

In separate reports for the Associated Press during the past week, Christopher Rugaber and Jeannine Aversa, economics writers for the wire service, each dealt with estimates for next year's average unemployment rate. They came back with significantly different estimates for 2011 without recognizing how widely their reported estimates vary. On Tuesday , Rugaber dealt with the Federal Reserve's latest economic growth projections, in the process telling readers that the Fed expects that the unemployment rate “will be 8.9 percent to 9.1 percent in 2011.” On Friday , Aversa looked at three alternative proposals for handling next year's federal income tax rates, which will increase substantially for everyone unless Congress acts. The projected unemployment rates for next year under the three proposals are all either 9.9% or 10.0%. So the Fed thinks that unemployment will come down next year, while Aversa's consulted experts think it will go up slightly regardless of what Congress does or doesn't do about taxes. The one-point difference between the two sets of estimates represents about 1.5 million workers . That's not a small number. Did things suddenly get worse while the turkeys were cooking on Thursday? read more

Michael Lohan is slamming the director of Inferno , Matthew Wilder, for lying about firing Lindsay from the lead role in his upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic. Celebuzz talked to Michael who claims that, in no uncertain terms, “Lindsay left Inferno. Wilder can shove it up his butt. She didn’t want to do that movie.” “He’s full of it. He was trying to ride our coattails.” ADVENTURES OF MILO : Today’s task? Defend daughter’s name! Lindsay Lohan’s highly-anticipated lead role in Inferno had been in limbo after failing drug tests, spending a few weeks in jail and landing in rehab indefinitely. This caused shooting to be delayed, at which point Wilder said he let Lohan go and replaced her with Malin Akerman . It made sense … but MiLo’s crying foul. “She doesn’t need to do a movie like that,” Michael Lohan said. “Give me a break. What a great thing to do for a girl that’s going through recovery.” “Put her in a position to act in a position where she’s a drug addict. Real genius, and he cares, right? Come on. Biggest hypocrite on the planet.” “If he wants to say he fired my daughter, let him say to to my face.” Your move, Wilder.

Happy Thanksgiving to all from The Hollywood Gossip! What would this holiday be without family, food, football and reflection upon the things we appreciate most … in the case of THG, that means some of the bird-brained celebs we’ve had the privilege of covering in the past year. Without further ado, THG’s Top 10 Turkeys of ’10 … We may rename this the Spencer Pratt Thanksgiving Turkey Award. 10. Barack Obama . The good will and immense popularity enjoyed by the President at the start of his White House term eroded fast, leaving in its wake a deeply polarized electorate and a Congress destined for partisan gridlock. 9. Jake Pavelka. Lame stints on The Bachelorette , The Bachelor and DWTS were enough to overcook this turkey, but his televised breakup special with fake fiancee Vienna Girardi was the year’s reality TV douchepocalypse. 8. The Kardashians. Sure, they’re harmless, but there’s so darn many of these girls. Mix in a hearty helping of Scott Disick and we’re just burned out. 7. LeBron James. The NBA’s best player, who has never won a title, made this summer all about him and his decision on where to play next year. A “decision” that marked the most absurd, narcissistic, self-serving stunts in sports history. 6. Spencer Pratt. He’s fallen off from 2008’s Top Turkey status, but he’s got staying power. Faking a divorce, getting married for a third time in as many years, blowing through $10 million and turning into a mountain man? Impressive. 5. Dancing With the Stars voters . Bristol Palin? Seriously people? 4. Lindsay Lohan. The definition of train wreck. Second only to … 3. Charlie Sheen. His violent altercation with wife Brooke Mueller last Christmas combined with Capri Anderson dalliances this fall? Quite a year for Charlie. 2. Mel Gibson. Why? Just listen to his rants . Wow. 1. Tiger Woods. Today, or more accurately early tomorrow morning, is the anniversary of Tiger’s car (and image) crash, following a blowout with Elin Nordegren, who learned of his affair with Rachel Uchitel and took a 9-iron to his face. The months that followed revealed additional mistresses, worried voicemails, nasty text messages , sordid fantasies, ridiculous rumors and bad golf. It’s a scandal that may never be equaled, and certainly worthy of Top Turkey billing. If nothing else … Tiger Woods’ Thanksgiving can’t be worse than last year’s .

A Texas jury has convicted former House majority leader Tom DeLay, once one of the most powerful Republicans in Congress, on money laundering and conspiracy charges. DeLay, a former No. 2 House GOP leader, faces five to 99 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000 on the money laundering charge. He appeared shocked, according to the Austin American-Statesman, when jurors reported their findings one by one. Sentencing is set for Dec. 20. (more at link) added by: Vierotchka
