the next controlled actor in chief will be a a shill for big money (bm), too. debt is the life blood of the economy... debt will solve the debt problem... debt creates capital... no i don't work for the financial oligarchs - want a credit card? hold hands and finance an SUV?

BC, this whole sharrod case is very interesting. if you listen to the lady's story, she's relating how she had hostile feelings towards a white (and used polarized language to do so) farmer, but the purpose of relating that story is that she had learned it wasn't about skin color, it was about "haves" and "have nots." her message with that story was that racism is stupid (duh!), it is all about content of character (duh!). now, were her initial feelings awful? yes. did she screw over that white farmer based on race? i don't know - i didn't hear her explain the rest of the story and i don't know if she ever finished up the story. she started to, but then we hear about her revelation that it isn't about race... and then nothing. one would assume she would've helped the white farmer after her revelation. here's her speech... youtube.com! i found the way big brother treated her as interesting, too... youtube.com she makes a couple interesting claims about BIG MONEY'S obama administration... 1. they weren't interested in the truth. 2. she didn't believe that they would allow others to tell the truth about her now that she is persona non gratis. bottom line - the initial reaction was negative and hurt their propaganda war on the american people so she was out. my guess is she gets to keep a nice fat pension, though. it is ugly to see the brutality of BIG MONEY'S big brother eat its own. all those suckers who think they are on the "team," caveat emptor... ps - i wonder if her comment about the issue being between the "haves" (BIG MONEY, big brother puppets) and the "have nots" (everyone else) that REALLY riled up BIG MONEY'S government puppets.

Dennis Miller is a right wing nut job. What else would he say? But I hope he can find a better Republican than Palin. There may not be one available. Mitt loses the south for his religion, so will never be the nominee. Huckabee is a decent right winger, but he has no traction. I don't know why. He plays a mean bass. Newt is a joke and everyone other than Newt knows it. Jindl has repeatedly made a fool of himself during the Gulf oil leak. Scott Brown's name gets mentioned, but he has broken the lockstep march of the GOP too many times. My guess is, the GOP candidate is going to be somebody completely new to Presidential consideration. I like Charlie Crist, but he's no longer a Republican. Palin would be the most fun, as she is funny. Unintentionally, but funny.
