Ah yes, right, the “invisible” hand of the market backhanding another poor and indebted nation….

And why? Because 61 cents an hour for Haitian laborers was just too much for Hanes and Levis to stomach and Obama was of course willing to accommodate. So next time you wonder why Haiti’s so poor and full of human and environmental strife…

This is the man that will be reelected as our president, these are the actions of a Nobel Peace Prize winner…

Couch Gag of the Day: Tonight’s episode of The Simpsons, MoneyBART, featured a dark, disturbing couch gag storyboarded and directed by Bristol-born street artist Banksy.

According to Wooster, this is the first time “an artist has been invited to storyboard part of the show.”

Banksy took a swipe at the Simpsons’ signature chalkboard gag when he visited New Orleans in 2008.

Jesus…

Fox is NOT going to be happy about this.
