The Social Poets: GOP Plans To Axe Food Stamps For Over 150 Million Americans

The Social Poets: GOP Plans To Axe Food Stamps For Over 150 Million Americans: From Denny:  Over 46 million households in America depend upon the food stamp benefits program to put enough food on the table to feed their families.

If each household is a family of four then you are looking at maybe as many as 184 million Americans.  That is over half to two-thirds of America in need of help to eat each day.  No one said it meant three meals a day either.

It does not seem to matter to the GOP and Congress that these same Americans have contributed as taxpayers to support these programs.  Now, the unthinkable for the majority of them is to draw food stamps benefits.  They have no choice; the economy is that bad.

Many active duty military to retirees use $100 million in food stamps benefits.  Are the Republicans just out of control crazy to do this to them and the rest of America?  What is wrong with these people?

The Social Poets: Jon Stewart Interviews Egypt Revolution Activist Gigi Ibrahim

The Social Poets: Jon Stewart Interviews Egypt Revolution Activist Gigi Ibrahim: "From Denny: Stewart dishes out the political satire in a semi-serious interview aimed at exposing how for decades American policy has had little to do with the reality of every day Egyptians.

What is so funny about the experience of this young woman is how she became involved in the Egypt Revolution this past January in Tahrir Square.  She went to a class, 'The Social Mobilization Under Authoritarian Regime,' at the American University in Cairo."

Funny Video: Colbert Mocks Egypt Revolution News Coverage

From Denny:  The Colbert satirical wit is not lost on the pro-Mubarak protesters sent out to battle the anti-government protesters. He also talks about CNN's Anderson Cooper's assault of getting punched 10 times in the face by Mubarak thugs during the early days of covering the Egypt Revolution in the streets.

Here Colbert mocks all the news experts who claim they don't know who will end up in power in Egypt as they try to advise us on what experts they all are. So, who do you turn to for prognostication? Why a groundhog named Phil of course. Remember, the world famous soccer psychic octopus has passed away recently and is unavailable for comment. So, who else to be the animal psychic? Why, an Egyptian cat, of course, OK, just a cat named Christiane Aman-purr as a nod to former CNN Middle East reporter Christiane Amanpour.
