			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/36126/george-soros-joins-republican-party/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-36132" title="soros_gop" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/soros_gop.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>George Soros made a stunning announcement:  he is leaving the Democrat Party and joining the GOP!<span id="more-36126"></span></p>
<p>Bloomberg reported the news regarding George Soros: he’s quitting the Democrats.</p>
<p>The outlet says that the liberal billionaire financier is dissolving the non-family aspect of his hedge fund that put him on the monetary map.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s done funding the Democrats.  He&#8217;s see the light and know thinks that Republicans have a far better economic strategy for the country&#8230; and the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>Soros is said to be &#8220;disgusted&#8221; with the debt talks and &#8220;very angry&#8221; with President Obama about the way he has handled the economy.</p>
<p>David Mamet, who recently wrote about his conversion from a liberal to a conservative in his book &#8220;A Secret Knowledge&#8221; was the catalyst.</p>
<p>&#8220;David met with Soros on the weekend and convinced George that his liberal ideas were &#8216;insane,&#8217;&#8221; said Soros insider Vladka Junga.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/sorosb.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-36131 aligncenter" title="sorosB" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/sorosb.jpg" alt="" width="390" height="271" /></a></p>
<p>Junga also said that Soros no longer believes in Climate Change and is divesting himself from all funding of liberal causes including Media Matters.</p>
<p>&#8220;George wants to dedicate his Open Society now to promoting the Tea Party agenda.&#8221;</p>
<p>Soros is expected at a major Tea Party rally in St. Louis this weekend.  He will be the guest of conservative superstar, Dana Loesch.</p>
<p>The billionaire best known for breaking the Bank of England, is returning money to outside investors in his $25.5 billion firm is ending a career as hedge-fund manager that spanned more than four decades and joining the GOP &#8211; full-time.</p>
<p>&#8220;He wants to dedicate himself to getting the Republicans back into the White House and to make sure that the Supreme Court retains its conservative advantage&#8221; said Soros associate, Marco Ludmilla.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/sorosc.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-36130 aligncenter" title="sorosC" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/sorosc.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="233" /></a></p>
<p>Arianna Huffington, a good friend of Soros, is upset that Soros is leaving &#8220;the casue&#8221; but said that she would carry on with her far left agenda.</p>
<p>&#8220;George and I are dear friends and if he wants to be a Republican now, then I support him in his decision, but will do everything in my power to bring him down!&#8221;</p>
<p>Soros, who turns 81 next month, plans on donating over $1 billion to the GOP.  His favorite candidate for President:  Chris Christie.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.com/opinion/6575/the-return-of-poseidon/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6574" title="poseidon_australia" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/poseidon_australia.jpg" alt="poseidon_australia" width="375" height="200" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The thunder of Zeus be upon you, O mortals!  Australia, the Great Desert, burns! <span id="more-6575"></span></p>
<p>For I am Poseidon, master of the seas, lord of all things wet, and I have returned to claim my rightful place as a famous god.</p>
<p>I have been patient these past millennia, mortals.  I have awaited your worship, your prayers, your goodly sacrifices.  I have activated a Facebook account and long expected your friend requests.  And yet it appears that you have chosen to forget me: great, godly, terrible Poseidon.</p>
<p>Your ignorance has sparked my anger, your insolence has kindled it, and your arrogance has set it all ablaze!  The wildfires of Australia are merely emblematic of the awesome metaphorical heat of my rage.</p>
<p>I once believed my celebrity was assured.  You knew that the triremes sailed only at my pleasure.  You sensed how the smooth passage of your trade or the glorious victories of your wars were the gifts of my benevolence.  I was some deity.</p>
<p>And now I am all but forgotten.  Admired perhaps, but never loved.  Along came all those younger, next-best-thing gods, with their fresh visages and hip new centers of geopolitical power, and you fickle worshippers tossed me out like so much omnipotent garbage.</p>
<p>A few thousands years pass, and now look at me.  Look at me, mortals!  I’ve gained weight.  All that ice I fought so hard to keep on in the early days is turning into water.  I feel warm all the time.  There’s a patch of garbage the size of Texas on my back that I should really get looked at.  I’ve got higher mercury than Jeremy Piven—but he’s the one David Mamet makes a joke about.</p>
<p>Not worth a joke, no, alas, no!  Certainly not worth a sacrifice.  And it turns out, not even worth a decent movie.  (If you ask me, Wolfgang Peterson has just been phoning it in since Das Boot.)</p>
<p>At one point, I caught myself thinking: What happened?  I used to be such a big god.</p>
<p>And then I understood.  I’m still big.  It’s the religions that got small.</p>
<p>Mark me now, all; sailors, potters, philosophers, dramatists all: I, Poseidon, immortal Olympian and architect of fate, will no longer suffer your betrayal.  I will see my horse sacrifices performed with all due ceremonial ritual—in ancient Greek—or the fury of my comeback will know no bounds on this earth.</p>
<p>Australia is beginning to understand what you will all know soon enough: the inconvenient truth that I, Poseidon, have returned!</p>
