Hatred for Justin Bieber Threatens Democratic Supremacy

Unemployment is high, there's so much oil in the Gulf that water-zits are forming, Justin Bieber is still alive; it has been a rough year. And it's been especially rough if you are a Democrat with the November elections just over the oily horizon. While the Donkey Party still holds the presidency and both houses of Congress, they stand to lose the latter if anger over jobs, oil, and side-swept, Canadian bangs doesn't subside.

Fear is especially acute regarding the nation's unemployment rate. As of May, it still rests at a robust 9.7% despite predictions by the administration that jobs would recover more quickly. Many analysts say look no further than unemployment and you will see the fate of the President's party this November. However, closer statistical analysis shows a glimmer of hope for Democrats, and some political scientists insist that the unemployment rate is not as effective a predictor of midterm election results than other indicators, such as real personal disposable per capita income. It seems people are less worried about whether they have a job than they are about whether they have enough money in their wallets to make it rain at da club dat night. 

The New York Times has identified 117 House seats and 17 Senate seats that are likely to be as closely contested this November as the final bout in Rocky II. As Sam Jackson says in "Jurassic Park VI: They're Smarter" during the scene where the raptor gets elected President of the United States: "Hold on to your butts."
