Excerpt:Reporters? Nooooo, not reporters. Professional, leave their personal opinion at the door type reporters? Villains? Whew!! Thank God this is all imagined.
Imagined villains include hackers, bloggers and even reporters.
Excerpt:This sounds like the “mission statement” for the mainstream media – no need for simulation.
Other simulated reporters were duped into spreading “believable but misleading” information that worsened fallout by confusing the public and financial markets, according to the government’s files.
Bush Economy Silver Lining: Local Home Values Plummet Into Compliance?
JG Excerpt:Well, THERE IS a silver lining to the housing crash. If home prices continue to tumble, Janesville tax assessment values will probably be “in compliance” by the end of this year.
People unhappy with a 2002 assessment got enough residents to sign a petition to force the state to investigate. The state gave the city mostly high marks, saying it could improve its public relations. The city has not had an assessment since 2002, and soon could be in danger of being in non-compliance with the state.
As housing markets tank, "trash-outs" are on the rise
AlterNet Excerpt:
Homeowners have crunched the numbers and decided their houses are worth less than their mortgages.
Queen Of Conservatism's Poisonous Recipe
Coulter.com Excerpt:Ann Coulter says a President McCain would completely ruin the country, which she is ok with. Coulter’s problem with McCain supposedly is……………..the Republican Party would be blamed, and Lord knows WE CAN"T HAVE THAT. Wreck the country but whatever you do…….save the party. But this is exactly what she wants us to believe. One has to wonder why someone who supposedly worships at the GOP altar would give us "stupid liberals" the kryptonite to kill them off. Of course what Coulter is really saying is that if you want to finally drown the GOP like all good blue-blooded democrats want to do.......vote for McCain! vote for McCain! vote for McCain! What a joke!
The bright side of the Florida debacle is that I no longer fear Hillary Clinton. (I mean in terms of her becoming president -- on a personal level, she's still a little creepy.) I'd rather deal with President Hillary than with President McCain. With Hillary, we'll get the same ruinous liberal policies with none of the responsibility.
Passage from Bush's SOTU speech.
NY Times SOTU ExcerptBush...conveniently forgetting that the U.S. is the only major industrialized nation getting a “free ride” on the international agreement to reduce greenhouse gases.
Let us create a new international clean technology fund, which will help developing nations like India and China make greater use of clean energy sources. And let us complete an international agreement that has the potential to slow, stop, and eventually reverse the growth of greenhouse gases. This agreement will be effective only if it includes commitments by every major economy and gives none a free ride.
Wisconsin Republicans Want To Restrict citizen redress to only local issues. A page right out of the Third Reich.
Pro-Growth Endgame
Fortune Excerpt:Bernanke’s out of control because the president is out of control. The GOP-led "Contract with America" was the greatest political hoax and "get rich quick" scheme ever perpetrated. Economic policies built on the planned so-called pro-growth foundation eventually arrive at their final destination sooner or later - and we're it.
"Conceivably we could have just had recession, hard times, sliding dollar, inflation, etc., but I'm afraid it's going to be much worse," he says. "Bernanke is printing huge amounts of money. He's out of control and the Fed is out of control. We are probably going to have one of the worst recessions we've had since the Second World War. It's not a good scene."
Headlines that need a story
1. Even if Mitt Romney was a Muslim, so what?
2. For many people, Barack Obama represents hope. Does John McCain want to kill hope?
