Mitt Romney, as explained by a Venn Diagram. Y’know, those things at which his campaign fails.

P.S.:

Dear folks in the UK — Sorry Romney’s worse than Sarah Palin. But you guys can totally have Palin instead. I promise. Take ‘em both, as our gift to you. No regifting, and no takebacks. 

Love,

America

Mother Jones breaks down where the money from the bailouts actually went and how big it actually was, as compared to what we’ve heard. All funds are in billions…

From MoJo:

The price tag for the Wall Street bailout is often put at $700 billion —the size of the Troubled Assets Relief Program. But TARP is just the tip of the iceberg of money paid out or set aside by the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve. In her book, It Takes a Pillage: Behind the Bailouts, Bonuses, and Backroom Deals from Washington to Wall Street, Nomi Prins uncovers the hush-hush programs and crunches the hidden numbers to calculate the shocking actual size of the bailout: $14.4 trillion and counting.
