This week, Texas Governor Rick Perry blustered his way into the thick of the GOP presidential race, racking up national exposure and controversial statements with equal swiftness. He referred to evolution as "a theory that is out there"; knocked Social Security as little more than a "Ponzi Scheme"; and derided worries about climate change, saying climates have "been changing ever since the earth was formed" (when pressed on when, exactly, that occurred, he would only say that the planet is "pretty old"). But the Perry quote of the week had to be his warning that should Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke come down to the governor's home state, Texans "would treat him pretty ugly." Pretty old, pretty ugly... pretty scary. And on the pretty geeky side of the news ledger, it was announced that "retweet" and "sexting" have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary. No word on whether @RepWeiner feels validated.

Do you think he knows it effects over 50 million Americans?
Ain't that convenient !!
The Russians are doing just fine , and so are the Mexicans.
As for the U.S going broke, let's just say that investors around the world simply don't agree with you when they put their money every day into treasuries that are now at historic lows , precisely because no one is perceiving us going broke..... Except Right Winger Republicans that live out of scaring people for political gain.
Reality is a tough thing to face some times , but it needs to be done . Your devalued countries today stand as the 10th largest economy in the world , in the case of Russia, and the 13th largest in the world in the case of Mexico .
Not bad for "broken" countries with devalued currencies don't you think?
So please see reality, and stop repeating what the Republican B.S machine likes you to believe. RESEARCH THE TOPIC.
Let's call them out into the public domain and have them stop this language pollution which is now equal to that of the environmental pollution.
When a politician says something, no one knows what they said because that EXCESSIVE and BLOATED dictionary is a way out of whack!
Let's go back to the dictionary used the FIRST ORGANIZED HUMAN SOCIETY that arose in those 28 compounds in the Sumerian Period, 7-9000 years ago, and start over because it was their writing on those hundreds of thousands of clay tablets that gave rise to all dictionaries and languages that followed.
And the stories told on those tablets do not match the history of civilizations as inferred by or told by the education system, the governments, the religions and the politicians of today!
Dash it all! What is this thing I'm using to access the inter...inter...
Forget it! There is no such thing as evolution, esp. for dictionaries!

The formula to capture pensions is still in play and nobody punished for the theft of pensions in the past---maybe that was the real mark for the poison placed in the market and ignored by regulators.... Americans at least should be batlling this president's plan for more free trade and messing with ss and medicare..
