1. If you have access to Current TV, 'Two Americas' is on now...
It's a documentary about 2 families, one who has a lot of money, but think they don't have enough, and one family who lost their dream home in AL, moved to TX, and as the husband states something like..'I've always heard that if you can't find a job in TX, then you ain't lookin'', well the job opportunities are for lower wages than what he was making, and that wasn't much. His family has been on unemployment and food stamps, but their day to day struggles are documented, and it is sad.

The film crew is there to document this asshole watching Faux News covering the republican debate in which Newt Gingrich states that the government shouldn't be paying unemployment insurance to people who have been out of work for 99 weeks, just doing nothing. This asshole agrees with Newt, with never a thought about his 'sucking off the government teat, while he's been collecting unemployment and food stamps and being denied jobs.

I merely refer to them as Idiot America, can't help it...cue the Greenday song..
