(I said it back in ’08, and I’ll say it again, the federal government shouldn’t “bail out” anybody.  Too big to fail . . . my ass!  Just a stupid catch phrase that the corporate media could use to manipulate a gullible public.  And, they did it all over again to us in 2012.  But, this time the big scary hype was called . . . the Fiscal Cliff.  Total bullshit.  And, Barry-O proved again what a spineless paper tiger he is.  It’s not all his fault though.  At this level they’re all owned.  The “system” has become a bad joke.  99% of us are either groaning, or saying:  That isn’t funny.  And, 1% is laughing its freaking ass off . . . all the way to their Swiss, and other off-shore, bank accounts.  What this country needs is a good people’s revolution.  Take back what has been taken away over the last 13 + years.  And no, I would not rule out bringing back the guillotine!  Keep that in mind, leeches!

No new clue words, today.  Some decent jumblings, though.  Nothing too tough.  The answer letter layout was a little on the weak side.  Switching “river” and “wedge” would have made it a little more challenging.  Workman-like cartoon.  I think the guys lacked interest on this one.  At least it didn’t cost us anything!  Can’t say that about the banks!  Be well, do good . . . and consider revolt!  Or, sit back, crack open another light beer and bag of Doritos, and tell yourself everything is fine.  Your call, friends.)   —   YUR
