Hopefully he's making good on his promise to retire to a monastery following the failure of John Kerry.

But since all he does is lie, I doubt it.

The only major announcement I want to hear from Soros is that he is broke and destitute.

He's going to say that it's not your fault you are a fat, and there is a great new pill to help overcome your eating problems.

Open Society Institute

Run by billionaire Soros and it still get MILLIONS in tax payer money.

Yet liberals say we can't cut government spending (and to many republicans agree with them).

I guess we all had high, false hopes. Mine, that he was buying all the States from Jersey to the North, and then seceding from the Union.

Open Society = Cracked Society - comes from the term "cracked in the head"
or also "crackheads" (those 60s hippies who smoked or "inhaled" {see Bill Clinton})....
