As usual, he SMASHES it out the park.
As you may have noticed recently, The Kitchen is back on our poli-tricks game! It’s time: WE ARE THE 99%!

Felonious Munk to President Obama: Balance your Checkbook, B!
“Stop your life, B. Get your whole sh-t together!’
How the f-ck do you owe China, B? how can I tell my daughter with a straight face that capitalism is the better system than communism if we borrowing money all our money from the biggest communist country on the planet??”
Everybody who has a loan to the federal government. F-ck paying it. Don’t pay your bills ‘cos they ain’t paying theirs!
What is the government’s credit score. It’s gotta be a 350….”
I know I’m late on this (I actually saw it a couple days ago) but if you haven’t watched this yet, check it out: HILARIOUS!
New York Observer‘s exclusive, unaired Occupy Wall Street Fox News interview footage
I haven’t been paying that much attention to the Occupy Wall Street protest movement despite the fact that it’s spreading and there’s been some questionable incidents related to it but this is amazing! A must-watch. The only part where dude perhaps gets into sticky territory is right at the end (which surprise, gets cut off) when he starts talking about Solyndra! There’s a good reason the interview in this footage has been unaired on TV. Sadly, the mainstream US news media isn’t really about addressing the difficult topics with honest, intelligent debate and dialogue that isn’t just empty, worn-out talking points.

[Music Video] Fight of the Century: Keynes vs. Hayek Round Two
Another rap take on current affairs and the economy – for my fellow Econ. major nerds only (probably….):
According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the Great Recession ended almost two years ago, in the summer of 2009. But we’re all uneasy. Job growth has been disappointing. The recovery seems fragile. Where should we head from here? Is that question even meaningful? Can the government steer the economy or have past attempts helped create the mess we’re still in.
John Maynard Keynes and F. A. Hayek never agreed on the answers to these questions and they still don’t. Let’s listen to the greats. See Keynes and Hayek throwing down in “Fight of the Century”.
