Obama Finally Cracks The 51% Barrier

It only took two months of diligent counting, but Obama has finally garnered 51.03% of the popular vote in Election 2012, entitling him to a tax increase on the 0.31% of Americans at the top of the income ladder, or so he says.

Mitt Romney got 47%, but not the now proverbial 47%, who are about to find out that tax increases on the rich amounting to $60 billion a year divided by 148 million Americans comes to a handout of just 405 bucks each. Don't spend it all in one place.

And the libertarians, fittingly, got the 0.99%, the actual support of Occupy Wall Street which, like all crackpots, claimed to represent nearly everybody in the 99% while crapping on your front stoop, which free expression libertarians are all for.

Obama Withholds Disaster Funds From Republican Southern Illinois

Harrisburg, IL, in Saline County not only didn't get John McCain for president in 2008, now it's not going to get disaster funds from FEMA after the recent tornado flattened the joint.

Gee, I wonder why?

Lots of counties in southern Illinois, including Saline, went for Republican John McCain in 2008 (in blue).
