It wont be a true successor to the Bugle until John manages to introduce a news story by quoting song lyrics.

Or quoting the Iron Sheikh's twitter account.

Senior twitter correspondent The Iron Shiek.

It won't be a visual version of the Bugle until we have a story of someone drawing penises on something that penises should not be drawn on.

I've always wondered how those benign Pay Day Loan commercials worked and how they were probably scams. And now I know thanks John!

Eh yeah. It seemed less 'informative in a funny way' and more 'informative and then be funny'. If that makes sense. That's why it ended on a overtly goofy note. It didn't even have an "And Now" segment, did it?

It's still an issue that needs to be brought up, this is a another way to keep the poor in an endless debt cycle, while skirting regulation with the most bullshit ways. Besides, I feel it was all worth it for the line "I call dingo".

Apparently Cameron is resigning because of the brexit vote and Scotland is saying they want to have another vote to leave the UK. If they keep melting down at this rate it's going to be full on Children of Men within a year.

That could be interesting, seeing Scotland leave the UK, and then join the EU like the next day.

I'd like to see Northern Ireland leave, maybe they will join back up with Ireland.

Question, over/under 5 years for UK to realize the mistake they have made and beg to get back into the EU?

I was actually thinking that this is exactly how the rest of the world should respond. I have nothing against the UK, but the situation should be dealt with harshly to communicate the gravity of the decision, and to discourage the rest of the EU members from precipitating a total dissolution.

The other EU members will have a harder go of it, as most if not all have adopted the Euro. Reintroducing their old currency will be an expensive proposition.

My guess, any other country looking to leave the EU will be looking at the UK's economy and gauge it from there.

Americans are pretty paranoid about that stuff. In Denmark its considered normal and courteous to leave your baby outside the window when you eat in a restaurant. A couple was arrested in America for doing this some years ago. Just cultural norms.

Normally, Americans leave babies in a how car and they roast to death. Us Americans are so stupid, we needed laws to tell parents not to leave children in cars because exceptions to situations hurt our brains.

The fact that it looked like the banks were not held accountable, especially after their actions which was arguably fraudulent, stuck in some people's craw. That's why Occupy Wall Street happened, for all the good it did. There was one conviction of a low level banker, not even a trial for some of the higher ups.

The rust belt folks saw Clinton and linked her with Wall Street's interests. Whether that is the case in reality or not, Clinton did not do enough to counter that.

The auto bailouts are a different story. Had they not happened, you might only have Ford as the domestic auto company.
