An angry mob attacked a group of mainly Christian protesters demanding drastic measures to heal religious tension amid a spike in violence, leaving 65 people injured, officials said Sunday.

(*SARCASTIC CLAP-CLAP-CLAP*)

* HOPE... CHANGE... HOPE... CHANGE...

(*SNORT*)

The Christian protesters have been holding their sit-in outside the state television building in Cairo for nearly a week following deadly Christian-Muslim clashes that left a church burned and 15 people dead.

* ISN'T THE WORLD JUST A MORE LOVING AND PEACEFUL PLACE NOW THAT GEORGE W. BUSH IS OUT OF OFFICE?

(*SMIRK*)

More than 100 people rushed into the sit-in area, lobbing rocks and fire bombs from an overpass and charging toward the few hundred protesters sleeping in the area. Vehicles were set on fire and fires burned in the middle of the street.

* THANK GOD THAT "EVIL" MUBARAK IS OUT OF POWER, RIGHT?

(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)

The Obama administration approved 204 new waivers to Democrats' healthcare reform law over the past month...

* NEW WAIVERS...

* ...OVER THE PAST MONTH...

...bringing the total to 1,372.

(*SNORT*) (*SARCASTIC CLAP-CLAP-CLAP*)

"The fact that over 1,000 waivers have been granted is a tacit admission that the healthcare law is fundamentally flawed," Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) said in March.

* YA THINK...?!?!

(*SNICKER*)

China, the biggest buyer of U.S. securities, trimmed its holdings for a fifth straight month.

* GOOD FOR CHINA!

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said the government will reach its $14.3 trillion borrowing limit on Monday. Treasury officials have said they will be able to continue regular debt auctions until August.

* BUSINESS AS USUAL, FOLKS... (*SIGH*)

Geithner on Monday said he will halt investments in two big government pension plans immediately to allow the government to continue borrowing money for the next few months.

* FOLKS... DOES THAT SOUND EVEN VAGUELY REASONABLE TO YOU...?!?! IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT TIM "THE TAX CHEAT" GEITHNER IS SAYING IS NOT ONLY ARE WE SO ADDICTED TO DEBT THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE BORROW AND FURTHER INDEBTING OURSELVES IN ORDER TO MEET BASIC FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT, BEYOND THIS, HE AND OBAMA ARE GONNA BASICALLY EMBEZZLE FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PENSION PLANS!

* FOLKS... I'M NOT MAKING THIS STUFF UP... THIS IS THE NEWS...!!!
