Do you know what is happening to your America, America? Communism! Yesterday our friends at the Congressional Oversight Panel for TARP invited a crazy European monster to our country to outline the nuclear option — “The Swedish Model” — for fixing our banks. Boo! Go “fix” yourself! MORE »

Bizarre psychopath Condoleezza Rice went to Stockholm, Sweden yesterday to discuss the future of Iraq with god knows who else. At the same time in Sweden, the rock band Kiss was having a concert, even though they were supposed to have all retired years ago. The band members asked Condi to stop by their hotel after she was finished solving Iraq and… she did! Rice, you see, is such a big fan of Kiss that her favorite song of theirs is "Rock And Roll All Nite," an obscure b-side that only two or three other Americans have ever heard. Elitist. [AP ]
