"SHIT IS FUCKED UP AND BULLSHIT"

That sentence was on a sign at a OWS site and I'm getting to like it a lot because of the weirdness of conservatives about money and sex. Years (decades?) ago I recall a NY Times article about how a $1 million income wasn't really all that much in NYC at a time when I was living on about $700/month. Today, Bloomberg has a similar article about the hard times the MOTU are going through because their precious bonuses aren't as big (h/t Atrios). Here's a factoid to put a quote from the article in perspective: the poverty line for a family of 2 in America is $14,710. Here's the quote:

A labradoodle named Zelda and a rescued bichon frise, Duke, cost $17,000 a year, including food, health care, boarding and a daily dog-walker who charges $17 each per outing, he said.

Sex is also weird with these people. Cybercast News Service (CNS), an offshoot of krazy Brent Bozell's Media Research Center, had this story a coupe of days ago:

Not to be outdone, Fats Limbaugh went to the bottom of the barrel:
