Remember when the right blamed the Norway massacre on Muslims? Now it’s accusing Soros of betting $1B on the US losing its S&P AAA rating.
Not that I care any more. If Soros bet a sure bet, good for him. Cantor, Boehner and McConnell had Obama by the balls and S&P just picked up the pieces.But the real story here is that, without a lick of proof, the Daily Mail has issued a rumour tha…

And as of Monday, Public Works, which assumed responsibility for the new agency, couldn’t explain how those savings were calculated. That’s because there were no calculations involved. Somebody pulled some numbers out of the air, somebody else said "Sure, that sounds good" and then they went on to the next item on the agenda. There is no plan. They have no idea what they’re doing. Recall the census long form debacle — Clement had no idea what he was talking about and no clue as to the ramifications of the decision when he first made the announcement that the mandatory census long form was being eliminated.
