And forget a lump of coal... cover the ears of your children...Santa's dead! That is...the two Santa Claus theories I mean. Republican strategist Jude Wanniski died back in 2005. But his famous Two Santa Claus theory died just this month - 6 years later. And it died thanks to Occupy Wall Street

The Good! Adbusters. After playing an integral role in sparking the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City - Adbusters is now calling for more activism at the upcoming G-20 summit in France - encouraging millions to rise up and demand a financial transaction tax - or as they're calling it a "Robin Hood" tax - on all stock and currency trades. The Bad! Herman Cain. After weeks of getting pummeled on his 9-9-9 plan since it represents the biggest tax hike on the poor in the history of this nation - Cain has a new line of defense. He's just not going to tell anyone what it is.... And the very, very ugly...Congressman Allen West. Despite not knowing Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - Congressman West who's most famous for his hateful rhetoric decided to speak on King's behalf in regard to the Occupy Wall Street movement.

The possible "dying fate of paid sick leave in the work place is in the works.

Neil Asbury, Radio Talk Show Host, "Truth for America" joins Thom Hartmann. Now, President Obama may finally be getting the message when it comes to jobs. But it looks like Republicans aren't - To filibuster or not to filibuster....

To really understand what a half percent tax hike on millionaires means - you have to understand how marginal tax rates work. Let me show you what this means - and for Herman Cain fans, this is will soon be tax-free "used food"...

And speaking of revolution - things have taken a serious turn for the worst in Greece as a new round of austerity comes down the pike. But Greece isn't alone when it comes to civil unrest. So what's REALLY causing all the "fed up" protests and demonstrations around the globe?

Our favorite doomsday prophesier Harold Camping has set a new date for the end of the world...Now? But let's assume we're all here - safe sound on Saturday - I think it's time for Camping to consider a career change. Some career that involves making wild predictions that never come true....I know just the job...
