it's almost like not being there!
Eschacon liveblogging here.
Courtesy Sinfonian...
Crikey, no new sheets for hours and now 2.
Thanks mimi, Sinf. I'll check it out.
Sinf, the broadcast I listened to mostly dealt with the financial woes in FLA. I really liked your point about how it was government spending that got us out of the depression.
I've said this before, but just a few blocks from me, on my walk to the library, there are a series of sidewalk sections with the stamp, "WPA 1937." And there isn't a crack in them. All the other sections are falling apart. And this is a part of Ohio where we just set a record snowfall of 109"!!!!
Speaking of Sinfonian, from below:
You ("mimi") e-mailed me after I spoke badly of you the other day, and I replied and apologized. You want to shit all over me on these threads to make your miserable existence complete, fine. But forgive me if I fail to give a shit.
Why anyone gives a shit about this pathetic self-hating transvestite is a mystery. But then again, I killfiled this sad little man long, long ago.
Dave, good for you. I hope it's the last we hear of it
Sinf, any chance this panel might deal with the Florida primary, revot/no revote issue?
There's a crack in that bell!
There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.
hey Molly--wish I were there, too. Have a great time...
I just can't believe that McCain trotted out the "win the hearts and minds" meme yesterday.
I just can't believe that it still works.
If only we could teach "those people" to love the death cult the way we do!

Check out the WPA-built Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood. Solid as a rock.
There's a crack in that bell!
"Bell" is feminine in German, "Die Glocke"... hmmmm.
Hey...flory just walked in!
Most of the roads through Yosemite were WPA-built. Meant to carry Model Ts and such, now carrying RVs and SUVs. Still holding up fine.
Having a great time. Wish you were here.

We asked for signs
the signs were sent:
the birth betrayed
the marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
of every government --
signs for all to see.
I can't run no more
with that lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
a thundercloud
and they're going to hear from me.
go ahead. rub it in
A little more, around that right shoulder area.
Please.

I'm here, there, and everywhere.

Landed in Heathrow, and met a friend who took us out into the countryside. He went trout fishing, while we walked about the village, watched 'em play cricket, drank beer etc. A couple hours later, he presents us with a good sized trout.
On his suggestion, we go to our London Hotel near Sloane Sq, and present the trout to the manager. He says, 'That seems to be a fish.' We agree. He says, 'Odd, that.' We agree, though we point out that it was a countryman of his, rather than ours, who was responsible. He puts it in the frig.
Next evening, we sit down to eat. The chef comes out and says, 'I've found a fish in my refrigerator. Does it belong to you?' Had Chamberlain used his diction and tone at Munich, the world would've been a better place.
The fish, of course, was absolutely delicious...

And to repeat something from the very long and now dead thread, Karl Rove ain't gonna face judicial sanction for his undoubted role in re Siegelman because The Decider™ is gonna give him one of those GOP get out of jail free cards, like li'l Scooter got in re Plame. Nor will Our Nancy put impeachment back on the table.

Next time there's a convention, I say we pass the hat, get CoT a ticket. There's not much happening for the folks back home otherwise...
Thanks, NTodd; will have a look for NEW photos.
Does anyone remember where the video presentation was that explained how bogus stock sales by independent traders creates these sudden collapses during heavy selling as their stuff all gets exposed at once and how the SEC had a rule that protected the practice as part of a proprietary trading strategy? It was about an hour long I think and it was just great but I can't find it because I can't remember who did it.
Isn't Spocko worried about revealing his identity? I've even seen pictures of the guy...

You don't have to go that far or exotic - there's plenty of everyday examples in nearly every town of any size across the country. Libraries, waterworks, schools, etc... just look!

Suffern Sucotash, our museum currently has the most breathtaking exhibit of rare Warner Brothers cartoons artwork.
Original sketches of Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, etc. These are hand-rendered with notations written in the margins with things like, "Make beak smaller", "Shorten ears", etc.
There are background paintings. The plastic cells where they painted the characters on the back of the sheet in order to hide the brush strokes which gave the cartoons their smooth appearance.

Wow, two threads real quick-like.
Monads need no cokes.
WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration will propose a sweeping overhaul of the way the government regulates the nation's financial services industry from banks and securities firms to mortgage brokers and insurance companies.
The plan would give major new powers to the Federal Reserve, according to a 22-page executive summary obtained by The Associated Press.
The Fed would be given broad authority to oversee financial market stability. That would include new powers to examine the books of any institution deemed to represent a potential threat to the proper functioning of the overall financial system.
The proposal, which will be outlined Monday in a speech by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, is certain to set off heated debates within different sectors of the financial services industry and in Congress, where some Democrats are likely to complain that the proposal does not go far enough to crack down on abuses.

Are you trying to make the trolls break out in hives?
I think probably the best president at using humor was Lincoln. A Lincoln-Reagan debate would have had the great communicator on the floor gnawing his leg off, asking "Where is the rest of me?", and pleading Nancy for a blow job.
Oooooh...new panel a-paneling.
I signed up for nader/gonzales newsletters, just to keep tabs on him.
However, makes my blood boil to see them pinging into the mailbox.
Mostly asking for donations. Like pastor Wright, you have to secretly agree with much of what he says.
But he doesn't need to wreck the election to have his say.
In the whole scheme of things, it really doesn't matter. Gardening and fishing or cooking matter.
There's more bitterness here than there used to be.
ÔżÔ
Bitterness?
I think not.
Righteous anger at how our country has been fucked over by those "in charge"?
Most definitely, yes.

I was over at Americablog.
I dare someone to say to one of the panelists, " You are like a stream of bat piss!"
Perhaps I will say that to Spocko.
In the Washington Post today ("Disloyalty That Merits An Insult"), Clinton adviser James Carville gave his best Dana Perino impersonation. Defend his hyperbolic denunciation of surprise Obama endorser Bill Richardson, Carville mirrored Perino's famous "once a Bushie, always a Bushie" code of political ethics. By proclaiming loyalty a cardinal virtue above all others, James Carville sounded like a member of the very Bush administration his candidate - and her party - are trying to replace.
For the details, see:
"Carville Announces Clinton Loyalty Oath."
"Don't you live 20 minutes from here?|"
as do I, but I can at least make part of it. I'll be there bout 7 who can I meet where?
Wow - Eric Boehlert about to speak.
Carville has no right to talk of "disloyalty".

Why did Obama pick Wright's church? Has he no free will ---or was it a political decision only?
Either way, their teachings are anti-American and racist.
Only white liberals and their guilt would allow something like this candidacy to go forward. Obama needs to answer the question of why he would have chosen such a church.

Pretty dull when you can't continue to LEARN something.

It all boils down to the easy narrative -- it's not "bias" so much as "laziness and stupidity."
DING DING DING DING DING!
Yup. There is bias (it's based on socioeconomic status) but laziness and stupidity simultaneously overshadow it (since they're too lazy to fight against it) and ampliy it (since they're too lazy to suppress any of it).
This coffee is strong.

If this guy Butler is that insane, then I can't imagine he'd be able to maintain this level of sophisticated deception for so long. At some point, he'd have to melt down.
On the other hand, are you sure this "Butler" isn't just a creation of another very paranoid person with a vivid imagination, or who just let a misunderstanding get out-of-control?

Obama's church is not an issue except for those who have no other issue. That you continue to bring it up shows the poverty of your patriotism and imagination. There is not onkly no racism or antiAmericanism in Wright's remarks, but, in fact, an honest statement of thetruth of an America that has been brought low by a greed and fear-driven right wing. Your fear of the truth is a defining characteristic of the fat, ugly coward that you are, tobey.
Toby sure is obsessed with Obama.

"Sophisticated" for those who don't normally do those sorts of things.
Ali: time to bring Tennyson's wonderful aging Ulysses up again:
...Life piled on life
Were all too little, and of one to me
Little remains: but every hour is saved
From that eternal silence, something more,
A bringer of new things; and vile it were
For some three suns to store and hoard myself,
And this grey spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.
Sonny, it's because Faux Nooze stinks like a week old field latrine.
As for Rev. Wright, the man is speaking truth, which burns fascist vermin like Putzhold.
Elias, you're beating a dead troll-horse (apologies to the horses). We've endured this one for a loooong time. Please don't make excuses for it.
Maybe Obama doesn't go on FOX Noise because "we don't negotiate with terrorists."
Hi, Zap!
Obama's church is not an issue except for those who have no other issue.
Apart from the fact that I basically agree with Wright, I can't help comparing this firestorm of controversy to the media's complete disinterest in Bush's long record of sucking up to neoconfederate groups, who are much more fundamentally anti-American than Wright.

Can't blame a person for tryin to figure somethin out, can ya?
If it's well established that mimi is really Butler, why didn't Sinfonian simply say on air, "Oh, hello Butler, how are you today?" Why did he speak to "mimi?"
And why did he apologize to her?
Ali: that stuff rings like a bell. I forget how good it is sometimes.

someone tell Condi - For 70 years, the headquarters of the Salvatore Ferragamo fashion house has been the medieval Palazzo Spini Feroni, in Florence. The label's pride in its heritage is so strong that Ferrucio Ferragamo, son of the founder, yesterday described as "written in stone" his commitment that all Ferragamo products will be made in Italy forever.
But yesterday the company celebrated its 80th anniversary in a reproduction of the palazzo built on the banks of the Huangpu River in Shanghai. It was an event which speaks volumes about the luxury industry's obsession with the Chinese market.
Not since the Japanese fell in love with logos in the 1980s has the sector been so single minded in its pursuit of one market.

US aircraft attacked Shia militia in Basra for the first time in the current round of fighting as intense battles continued between supporters of Moqtada al-Sadr and tens of thousands of Iraqi forces in a crackdown personally supervised by Iraq's prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki.
British troops, based at the city's airport, were kept away from the operation described by George Bush as "a defining moment in the history of Iraq".
American fighter jets dropped bombs on a mortar team and a militia stronghold in Basra, said Major Tom Holloway, a British military spokesman. The number of casualties was unknown.
As protests spread across Iraq, US aircraft also attacked Sadr City in eastern Baghdad, killing at least five civilians, according to Iraqi police and hospitals.
"There have been engagements going on in and around Sadr City. We've engaged the enemy with artillery, we've engaged the enemy with aircraft, we've engaged the enemy with direct fire," Major Mark Cheadle, a US military spokesman in Baghdad, said later.

The radical Shia Iraqi cleric Moqtada Sadr has defied a call by the Iraqi government for his powerful Mehdi Army militia to lay down its weapons.
Arms would only be handed over to an Iraqi government willing to end the US occupation, a senior Sadr aide said.
Skirmishes continued in the city of Basra as Shia militiamen battled security forces, who were backed by at least two US air strikes.
Across Iraq, fighting has claimed an estimated 200 lives since Tuesday.
Government forces have been trying to wrest control of Basra and other Shia areas from the Mehdi Army.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki raised the stakes in his five-day-old crackdown on Shi'ite militants on Saturday, describing his foes as "worse than al Qaeda."
Fighting raged in Basra and Baghdad, threatening to draw U.S. forces deeper into Maliki's confrontation with cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's Mehdi Army militia and endangering a ceasefire that has been in place for seven months.
U.S. forces said they had killed 48 militants in air strikes and gun battles across the capital the previous day.
At least 133 bodies and 647 wounded were taken into hospitals in eastern Baghdad over five days of clashes, the head of the area's health directorate, Ali Bustan, said.
In Basra, government troops said they had killed 120 fighters. Scores of people were reported killed in other towns across the south where fighting has spread.

Global oil prices have fallen in Friday trading on the news that an attack on an Iraqi export pipeline was not as serious as earlier thought.
The price of benchmark US light sweet crude fell $1.96 to settle at $105.62 a barrel while Brent crude lost $1.23 to $103.77 at end of London's trading day.
"The [Iraqi] problem is not as serious as we thought," said oil analyst David Johnson of Macquarie Research.
A slightly stronger dollar had also lessened demand, analysts said.

At least 15,000 bags are stranded at Heathrow airport after a third day of cancellations at the new Terminal 5.
The news came after one-fifth of British Airways flights from the troubled terminal were scrapped on Saturday - 67 out of the 330 scheduled.
Many passengers said they departed on flights after being told their luggage would not be travelling. A further 37 flights have been cancelled for Sunday.
The airline has also scrapped its Ł100 limit for delayed passengers' hotels.

"This is from the Sadrist site nahraine.net in its entirety. exactly as posted on their site. They are saying that the Mahdi army have won in Basrah. That the fact that Maliki had to extend his deadline and now also is offering money to fighters who turn in their arms indicates this. That the Mahdi Army was able to hold on to territory and that the prevented the arrival of most GZG reinforcements from Baghdad, Mosul, Karbala, and Kut. They say American troops (snipers) are directly involved in the fighting.
They say further that many GZG police and army have mutinied and gone over to the JAM and that Maliki is in fear of his life that security has been tightened around al-Maliki and the rest of the GZG military leaders, and that they are preventing many of the officers from entering the building where he is fearing that some GZG officers loyal to the Mahdi army and the Sadrist trend would target and kill him."

All explanations are possible for the current fighting in Basra, the largest city in southern Iraq situated in an area which floats on massive oil riches.
But the reality of the situation which tells volumes about what is happening is the fact that war, in the fullest sense of the word, has been raging without interruption in Iraq for the past five years.
Over those years, bombing by war planes and shelling by heavy artillery have been raging across the country, telling everyone inside and outside Iraq that conditions for normal life are no longer possible.
Amid such circumstances in which villages, towns and cities turn into battle scenes, there are still some whose total state of denial spurs them to speak of successes and achievements.
Every now and then in the past five years, the government or the foreign occupiers would launch massive and bloody operations on Iraqis in major cities such as Karbala, Najaf, Baaqouba, Kut, and Basra and so on and so forth.
Fierce fighting takes place inside these cities with the main fodder being innocent Iraqi civilians among them women and children.
In the past five years, Iraqis have been paying dearly for the blunders first of the foreigners who came to occupy their country and second of the Iraqis these foreigners have nurtured and supported to run the country.

Turkey has been bombarding Kurdish rebel positions in northern Iraq with aircraft and artillery, the Turkish military has said.
At least 15 rebels died in cross-border shelling on Thursday as they prepared to attack targets in Turkey, it added.
Air strikes were carried out on Friday, but it was unclear how many casualties had been caused by the raids.
In a week-long offensive last month, Turkey targeted bases it said were used by rebels for cross-border attacks.
Up to 3,000 Kurdish rebels attached to the PKK, or Kurdistan Workers' Party, used the bases, it said.
The Turkish military said at least 240 PKK militants and some 27 members of the Turkish security forces had died - figures that the PKK disputed.

2008...absummitkadhafi
DAMASCUS (AFP) - Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi warned Arab allies of the United States that they could meet the same fate as former Iraq president Saddam Hussein, hanged in 2006 three years after the US-led invasion.
"A foreign force occupied an Arab country and hanged its president and we stood by and watched," he told an Arab summit in the Syrian capital.
Saddam was hanged in December 2006 after being sentenced to death for crimes against humanity over the mass killing of Shiites in the 1980s.
"How can they execute a prisoner of war and the president of a member of the Arab League?" Kadhafi asked.
He said Saddam had been a friend of the United States during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s "before they turned against him and executed him."
"You could all suffer the same fate," he warned.

Economy is really getting scary, though. I heard the Int'l commodity price for rice went up 30% in one day this past week. A coupla rice-exporting countries are halting exports to keep their own countries supplied, thus screwing over other countries accustomed to buying from them.
The audacity to hope! With Obama dreams come true. I ran into the aspirations of a moslem group whose hope has been rekindled as a Barack Presidency is increasingly a reality. Here are some of their aspirations:
"QUESTION: What are issues and recommendations for solutions that are unique "to Muslim Americans?
"1. A Law against harrassment of a Muslim women wearing Hijab at the Airport, "DMV and other public arenas.
"2. Institute a Law to allow Muslim Employees to take a hours off from work for "Friday Jummah Prayer.
"3. Make the 2 Eid's, recognized National Holidays on Calendars with days off "from work.
"4. Optional Halal meals in federal buildiings, public schools and colleges.
"5. Provide prayer areas suitable for Salah and Jummah, in public and private "facilities. (i.e. Malls, Airports, Universities and government buildings.)
"6. Organize a Muslim American group to assist in recommendations for US "foreign policy affecting majority Muslim countries.

I think the best thing we can do - both parties now, is change the rules so that all politicans can only spend a total of 10-12 years in politics. The govt was set up expecting citizens to leave the private sectors for a few years and to return to business. Instead politician has become a full time job. It is hard to do what is right when you need to get re-elected. People like Bird and Kennedy should never be in office their entire lives!

To Senator Leahy and the other elite Democratic party officials, including Speaker Pelosi:
If you continue to try to push Hillary Clinton out of the primary race before a clear winner emerges, if the Obama elite keep pushing their agenda here's what you'll get:
Clinton supporters will harden further against voting for Obama if he becomes the nominee. (Hillary fans are already close to this, so don't push them any further, because you can't win in November without them, especially after Obama's Rev. Wright pastor disaster, which is already causing problems in the larger electorate.)

Byrd and Kennedy are responsible for some of the best legislation ever to come from Congress. America may have been the best country in the world, at one time, for a short while, but is now the leading sponor of state terrorism, and a piggish, greedy, short-sighted society of cowards and opportunists. the only way to return it to its former splendor is to get rid of the GOP, forever.

This from a MYdd.com diary. Wasn't Obama suppose to turn this state purple and win in Nov with his blowout primary win? Didn't he say that he can bring Repubs over and form a coalition to win in NOv?
What happened? clinton never relied on this argument so her #s are inconsequential. Her path to victory in NOv was always to win the states that Kerry won and win Arkansas, put Tennessee into play, possibly MO, NM. She can win FL, OH and PA.
Superdelegates are you watching?
BO winning fair and square flew out the window when the Clintons were called racist. No way, no how, under any circumstances will I vote for BO. Hillary 08
Bug
Does that mean you will leave now?
None of us (and I think I speak for most here) really gives a hairy shit who Bugs votes for, or texachilibean either.
To me the overiding issue is safety. That means McCain. The other two scare hell out of me.
Texaschilibean
Your own shadow scares the hell out of you, you gutless sack of fecal matter.
I think we are a way off from the Q&A, but I can say right now I'm not going to be asking Krugman any questions about Cat blogging or Karl Marx!
TKK, how 'bout "Boxers or briefs?"
Kay?
Aside from spelling errors, which I agree are not good, I think you probably forget we were attacked during Clinton's terms. WTC in 1993, USS Cole, 2 embassies in Africa.
To me the overiding issue is safety. That means McCain. The other two scare hell out of me.
Texaschilibean
Oh, buck up, you big pussy.
Krugman: bush is pumping $600 billion in cash in teh economy
Atrios: wow where does that come from
Krugman: Molly and Thers children will pay for it
8 Year Old: hes a poopyhaid
The other two scare hell out of me.

folks on the right are scared of everything.
fucking pussies...
Ask him what regular middle class people like us should do in these times. Ask him if he sees a new industry coming that is not flipping burgers.
Well, now I know how to pronounce her name...
I am shocked to hear that texaschilibean is scared of Muslims. You forgot to mention McCain's failures in national security.
Echidne has an accent. No one could have predicted....

Well, there's nothing anybody could have done about overseas attacks, and I reference Reagan and Beirut for you who are stupid enough to believe that the hackMcCain would ever lift a finger against Big Oil. We are under attack because of republican policy, pure and simple. if you believe otherwise, then there is no hope for you. They don't hate us for our freedoms, they hate us because we are terrorists. McCain would gladly, and admittedly, continue the policies of US terrorism and resource theft that have caused blowback.
But thanks for 9/11.

Doing better by the climate and environment, trying to figure out how to support 8-10 billion people sustainably on this planet, should be new industry enough to create all the jobs we need.

Phonetics, please?
The DNC has cost itself tens of millions of dollars in not only this, but upcoming years, from people who ar so disgusted with this process that they will not ever feel like contributing again. I know that I won't. And it is a dreadful tragedy that a few incompetents like Dean and Brazile can virtually destroy the Democratic Party
To me the overiding issue is safety.
Then you're a traitor to your country.
"Eh-kidney"
Snow - I don't blame you for being upset. Not at all. You're down to two candidates, both of whom are 100% unelectable.
"sniper fire" rodham and
"god damn america" obama.
I guess you'll claim president Mccain stole the election.
And in 2012 you'll run al sharpton or rosie odumbo. if I were you, I'd be miserable too.

I agree! If I had the money, I'd start a solar station to power the hood on the back 40.

rasmussen is Mazi for republican, you moron. but keep on quoting the enemy propaganda. And practice saying President Obama.
Eee-Key-Deen?
Fuck, Bugs is enough to make me want to install killfile, I'm telling ya.
OK, so we know Krugman's a prof at Princeton, and Atrios has a PHD in Econ.
What is Echidne's CV claim to the panel?
"Eh-kidney"
The Kenosha Kid
Cool, I had it right.
I'm shocked.
Echidne: america spends a lot of money giving rich people full body scans
Atrios: hell you can get that free at teh airport
Krugman: and a brisk massage i love
jees, i can't leave you guys alone for 5 minutes.
it's spelled "byrd" - anyone who doesn't know that has no business commenting on him.
I for one, can't stand the "party elites" telling me what to do.
Obama it seems to me can't win a fair contest of all 50 states, so he is gaming the system. Dean and the rules comm. threw out the Mich and Fla contests. BO has supporters cheating and gaming the Caucuses.
Gimme back mah teef!!!

Kinosha begs to differ.

enjoy the Obama presidency. As if Americans will ever again vote Republican after your destruction of the economy, military and Constitution. Dream on, gutless pussy.
OK, so we know Krugman's a prof at Princeton, and Atrios has a PHD in Econ.

Apprentice to Darth Holden
they needed someone who knew what she was talking about and could explain it in english. besides krugman.
I think Echidne is an economist too, Apprentice.
Bugs,
Go away. We aren't talking about candidates you goof. We are discussing the convention and the conventional costs of living in a progressive world!
Shoo!
Uncle B -- no mail; did it bounce?

then don't listen.
or talk.

FORP.
trolls = stoopid poopyheads
Echidne: popr people get care at teh ER
Atrios: excellent
Echidne: but they're cutting back on ERs
Krugman: oh noes
Echidne: Obama will allow young people to be free riders
Atrios: fucking kids
Krugman: whats mccains idea
Echidne: don't get sick it's not patriotic
This system has no protections and it's creating tremendous economic turmoil.
It's not "sound".
It does not engender trust.
You cannot rely on it.
Well, you can rely on it, in a way.
To be unsound.

OMG, the trolls are cracking me up! The republic party is in shambles, the NRCC is broke after one of their own ripped them off, everyone hates Bush, and their candidate is a crotchety old man who shoots from the lip and than has staffers send apology letters to everyone he's offended. And the trolls claim the Democratic party is in trouble? Bwahahahaha!
The Dems have never been in better shape. But keep telling your lies, they're very entertaining!
Eschaconners: could you ask the panel about what the next prez is likely to see when he or she opens the books, providing BushCo hasn't shredded them first?
You know, this is the Otter banking system; after you've found out you've got no money, the asstard Bush will say "You fucked up; you trusted us!"
I will never vote for Obama! I have a very bad feeling about him like the very bad feeling I had about Bush. My very bad feeling about Bush turned out to be true.
Echidne is an economics professor. I believe her specialty is microeconomics.
Vote for me, Bugs. You know you want to.
Want some goat juice? It's fresh.
Echidne cracking bread jokes.
Time to ask the French to ship over some guillotines.
Hey, as long as they're going to all the trouble, perhaps they could send us their health care model, too? I think it would save on shipping costs if they did it all at once....

You fear blacks, we get it.
Echidne: McCain's plan is to make health so expensive no would will choose to get sick
Krugman: teh free market rules!
Echidne: it's perfect
Atrios: he says you can shop around for health care
Echidne: you could buy a heart transplant online
Atrios: teh eBay economy!
Screw the audience. I want more pics of watertiger!!

Microecon seems to be the most theoretical of the econ branches to this untrained layman who last set foot in an econ classroom back during the Carter administration.

Sweet!
Hillary account of the Bosnia incident was not dishonest or an exaggeration. The Pilot of the aircraft during her visit with her daughter had TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION AND DIVE TO AVOID SNIPER FIRE. WHY IS THE BIAS PRESS SO ADVERSE TO TELLING THE WHOLE STORY?
Q&A time now. 1st Q: why no single payer?
TKK - I'll not hire anybody to kill you for the Dead Pool if you ask the panel if we can develop a catblogging-based economy. And I'll buy you a drinkie.
Apprentice to Darth Holden,
I asked her a question the other night and she kind of begged off saying, "That's macroeconomics - not really my field." My assumption, therefore is, microeconomics since you are pretty much either one or the other, ya know?
