OhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygod!!!

Listen to the hysteria in the voice of the NPR guy interviewing Sen. Shelby about the Trillion Dollar Plan to Save Hank Paulson's Friends. 

Are you saying that you might be willing, if it were up to you, to let the economy ride this out even if that means a very severe economic slowdown - a recession?!  A Depression?!

Are you concerned that even a day or two or a week's delay will cause trouble in the financial markets?

It looks like NPR guy is watching his mutual funds bounce around, doesn't like it at all and wants mama to make it better.

"NPR guy" was hired by and no doubt responding to his conservative bosses - or were you unaware that NPR's new BFF's are the National Review, Fortune 500, and the WSJ?

I heard that as well, and had the same reaction. Fortunately, Terry Gross' interview of Gretchen Morgenson washed that foul taste out of my mouth. It's pretty damned good.

Compassionate Conservatism in Action

Zinn


  • "[O]ur time, our energy, should be spent in educating, agitating, organizing our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the neighborhood, in the schools. Our objective should be to build, painstakingly, patiently but energetically, a movement that, when it reaches a certain critical mass, would shake whoever is in the White House, in Congress, into changing national policy on matters of war and social justice."

Bono


  • "True religion will not let us fall asleep in the comfort of our freedom. Love thy neighbor is not a piece of advice, it's a command. ...

    God, my friends, is with the poor and God is with us, if we are with them. This is not a burden, this is an adventure."

The Reverend Al Sharpton


  • Ray wasn't singing about what he knew, 'cause Ray had been blind since he was a child. He hadn't seen many purple mountains. He hadn't seen many fruited plains. He was singing about what he believed to be.

    Mr. President, we love America, not because of all of us have seen the beauty all the time.

    But we believed if we kept on working, if we kept on marching, if we kept on voting, if we kept on believing, we would make America beautiful for everybody.

Marx


  • ''With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 percent will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 percent will produce eagerness, 50 percent positive audacity; 100 percent will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 percent, and there is not a crime which it will not scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged.''
