A Las Vegas business owner with 114 employees fired 22 workers today, apparently as a direct result of President Obama’s re-election.
"David" (he asked to remain anonymous for obvious reasons) said that "elections have consequences" and that "at the end of the day, I need to survive."
"I explained to them a month ago that if Obama gets in office that the regulations for Obamacare are gonna hurt our business, and I’m gonna have to make provisions to make sure I have enough money to cover the payroll taxes, the additional health care I’m gonna have to do, and I explained that to them and I said you do what you feel like in your heart you need to do, but I’m just letting you know as a warning this is things I have to think of as a business owner.
I have mostly Hispanic employees — well unfortunately we know what happened and I can’t wait around anymore, I have to be proactive. I had to lay off 22 people today to make sure that my business is gonna thrive and I’m gonna be around for years to come.

The second term game of Obama cabinet musical chairs kicked into high gear Thursday when Attorney General Eric Holder
suggested that he might leave soon. He would join Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Treasury Secretary Tim Geither and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood on the exit list.
Names immediately surfaced of those who might replace Holder including Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who has steered her department through controversial issues and come out generally unscathed.
Senate sources said that she would be a good pick for Obama since she has years of experience in the area and is generally well regarded in Congress.

Some things just go together. Peanut butter and jelly, cheese and crackers … porn and the San Fernando Valley.
After voters approved Measure B on election day — an ordinance that would require porn actors to wear condoms while making XXX films — producers are threatening to leave Los Angeles County.
The Valley without porn production?!
More than 55% of voters passed Measure B sending shock waves through the porn industry.
LA County’s Health Department will be responsible for monitoring sexual activity in the same way they have to patrol restaurants and nail salons.
Meanwhile, the porn industry is threatening to pull production out of LA County. Options? A lawsuit or pulling up stakes and moving to a new locale — say Riverside or Ventura County? Or leaving California, altogether — New Hampshire is the only other state in the union where filming XXX videos is legal.

Bunty Verma used to have a sharp tongue.
The 32-year-old TV repairman from Sendhwa, India reportedly insulted his wife, Hema, so frequently and severely that she recently left him, taking their daughter with her.
The man was so distraught that he tried to lick his abusive habit
by cutting off the source: his tongue, according to the Hindustan Times.
Verma tried to reach out to his estranged wife with a note explaining that since it was his tongue that was responsible for his cruel words,
he sliced it off, geobeats reported.
No word on whether his wife believed the reconciliation attempt was anything more than lip service, but Verma was admitted to a government hospital for treatment, and the medical officer informed local police officials about his personal dismemberment.
