Devastating news keeps coming in from Louisiana and its surrounding counties down South. The aftermath of Hurricane Isaac hasn’t been on the news waves too much because of the distraction of Money Mitts RNC but there are millions of people in need tonight. With the remnants of Hurricane Isaac retreating from the Gulf Coast north, leaving massive devastation in their wake, piles of dead nutria–large semiacquatic rodents–have been spotted littering the shore in Waveland, Mississippi, on Friday. But perhaps one of the most striking images to have come out of the natural disaster was the sight of tombstones and caskets from an above-ground cemetery floating among the debris. Hit the flip to check out images of the destruction. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those down South.
If you didn’t believe it before..we’ve got proof now. Mitt …you’ve got some explaining to do. To uncover the true story behind the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s $10 million bailout of Mitt Romney and Bain & Company, Rolling Stone made a Freedom of Information Act request that forced the FDIC to release more than 500 of pages of records. (The government, which was owed more than $30 million in all, had become a creditor to Bain when it took over the failed Bank of New England in early 1991.) Prior to releasing the documents, the FDIC allowed Bain & Company to scour and redact the records. Dozens of pages were blacked out entirely, on Bain’s claim that these nearly two-decade-old records contain secret “commercial or financial information.” Most pages looked something like the image at left. After Romney took over and a ‘recovery’ was put in action…it began to fail. Bain’s revenues continued to decline, and the company was soon bleeding red ink. By March 1992 — barely nine months after the initial restructuring — Romney was hitting up the government and Bain’s other creditors for a bailout, asking that the firm be allowed to repay its debts at just 35 cents on the dollar. The documents reveal that Romney had perverse leverage: The terms of the 1991 deal gave Bain the authority to reward its executives with massive bonuses, regardless of performance. If creditors refused to allow the firm to pay down its debt at a fraction of the legal value, in other words, Romney could begin to loot the firm’s cash reserves by doling out unmerited bonus pay. Mitt…it’s time for you to come forward, release your taxes, and show us all…for once, that you’re as shady as they come. Source Images via WENN

Dude just sounds like a cornball to us! Last night, Paul Lyan gave his acceptance speech and even tried to crack a few jokes. He got laughs from the crowd…and from the couches we were all watching from. “There are the songs on his iPod which I’ve heard on the campaign bus, and on many hotel elevators. He actually urged me to play some of these songs at campaign rallies. I said, ‘I hope it’s not a deal-breaker Mitt, but my playlist starts with AC/DC and ends with Zeppelin.’ “ Listen Paula, don’t try to act like you can relate to a younger, more laid back group of voters all of a sudden.

Democratic Assemblyman Candidate Criticized For “Negrohood” Reference In Campaign Mailers More politically INcorrect behavior…this time from the liberals. An Assembly candidate whose campaign sent mailers using the word “negrohood” to residents in his Sheepshead Bay district apologized Wednesday — calling the racially tinged language a “typo.” “As the candidate, I take full responsibility for this inadvertent error and I am sorry to anyone who was offended by it,” Ben Akselrod, who’s running in the Sept. 13 Democratic primary against Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz, said in a statement. The Friends of Ben Akselrod sent the mailers last week, claiming that his opponent “has allowed crime to go up over 50% in our negrohood so far this year.” Akselrod didn’t specify Wednesday whether his campaign intended to use the word “neighborhood” instead. He said he faced discrimination as a Jew in his native Russia, and rejects “any form of racial and ethnic bias.” He also blasted his opponent’s supporters for focusing on the typo instead of addressing crime in the community. The Cymbrowitz campaign didn’t return a call seeking comment Wednesday. Source A 5-letter typo huh? Riiiiiigght. Image via Shutterstock
More super shady isht going down in Tampa SMH ! Mitt Romney held a “secret squirrel meeting” to thank the big ballers who are bankrolling his campaign: Gov. Mitt Romney’s campaign toasted its top donors Wednesday aboard a 150-foot yacht flying the flag of the Cayman Islands. The floating party, hosted by a Florida developer on his yacht “Cracker Bay,” was one of a dozen exclusive events meant to nurture those who have raised more than $1 million for Romney’s bid. “I think it’s ironic they do this aboard a yacht that doesn’t even pay its taxes,” said a woman who lives aboard a much smaller boat moored at the St. Petersburg Municipal Marina. Romney’s Cayman-based investments have come under fire during the campaign. The event, attended by no more than 50 people, along with Romney relatives, including older brother Scott, appeared on no public calendars. ABC News obtained a schedule of the Romney campaign’s “Victory Council” and waited dockside to speak with members. Registered in the Caymans, and flying a version of the Caymans’ “civil ensign” or merchant flag, the Cracker Bay has an impressive art collection and can seat 30 for dinner. The Cracker Bay is owned by Gary Morse, developer of the Villages retirement community. Companies controlled by Morse gave nearly $1 million to the pro-Romney Restore Our Future superPAC. Romney to date has declined to identify the names of his top “bundlers” — those who gather checks from scores of donors on the candidate’s behalf. “He is the first nominee in 12 years to withhold these names,” said Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks political money on the website opensecrets.org. “These are the most important insiders,” she said. “The public needs to know who these people are because thy are the one’s who stand to gain the most from a Romney presidency.” Her group and others have gathered more than 20,000 signatures from people calling on Romney to name his top bundlers. Campaign officials at the event declined comment. Among those attending was Mel Sembler, a former top supporter of President George W. Bush and Charlie Moncrief, an oil executive from Texas, and his wife Kit. Other guests covered up their nametags as they exited for waiting busses and SUVs to take them to their next event. Kit Moncrief said she and her husband had pledged to raise $1 million for Romney. When asked about the fundraising, she said: “We don’t like it either, but it’s the system,” she said. Romney’s donors and guestlist might be a “secret” but we’ll tell you what’s not. The people who are paying his way to the White House want him there to keep their money in their pockets and to keep getting richer. Romney has no interest in protecting the average American’s economic livelihood, he only cares about the people like him, who hide their money away and let poor people pay higher taxes than them. SMH. Shame on this muhfugga. Source
