Me too. Whomever is making the decisions on CNN is simple minded. That Ali Belshi and his sidekick do not understand economics. MSNBC uses Stiglitz and Krugman. those are the correct ones to use-lol!! I was telling Chinu the problem with all the MSM, except MSNBC and Stewart, Colbert and Maher, is that they are not deconstructing the nonsense of the right. E.g. they bandy about the word freedom, but have no idea what that really means. Pure freedom would be anarchy and is antithetical to democracy. So what the hell are they talking about. I can assure you they don't know. Secondly where is the right wings intelligencia. There is none. Why? Because all their theories are wrong, or simplistic, so how can there be an intelligencia. E.g. economics: Economists have debunked both supply side economics and pure capitalism. Evolution: most right wingers do not believe in it. Psychology: the right wing pushes family structure, but psychology has established family function is far more important. Science: the right wing downplays it as another dogma and does not listen to it preferring their bibles. Politics: the right wing's interpretation of Republics and Democracy is by and large incorrect and simplistic. And on and on.

After I tech you how to play poker properly, we can go to Atlantic city together. I can qickly teach you to beat the 4/8 to $15/30 and I will play the $30/$60 to $50/$100-lol. The $15/$30 was the one game I could always make a lot of money for sure. My road game. Won $3,000 once in 5 hours at Hollywood Park. My daughter was graduating from law school in santa Monica. My in laws were there, whom I had never met. Professor at Berkeley. So I get back to their apartment and not seeing them, walk up the stairs and throw all the money in the air and shout: "who is the champ" . Then I was introduced to my son in laws parents-lol.
