LETTER: Radio-TV dials stop before Rush's frequency

MARY O'NEILL, Charleston

I’m writing in reference to Ellen Goodman’s column on Rush Limbaugh. I could not believe the audacity of this man to say, “He hopes Obama’s economic plan fails.”

This shows the kind of person he is. He doesn’t care if the economy recovers, but is only interested in his own programs ratings.

His question of “why don’t women like me?,” I can only answer with one woman’s opinion.

He is an insensitive, self-centered, pompous, arrogant, wind-bag! That’s why only 26 percent of women make up his audience.

Maybe if he stopped referring to some women as “neo-nazi liberals” he would gain ratings.

This is the kind of gibberish he puts out over the air waves.

Well, my TV and radio say no to Rush Limbaugh.

MARY O’NEILL

" Mary, I'm not so sure you feel that way about Rush. Are you sure you're not a closet 'ditto head' just writing these words in an attempt to stir things up so you can witness all kinds of Rush fans defending him on here?

Yeah, I'll bet that's what is happening here. Nice try, Mary, but I'm not taking the bait. "

Well lady maybe if you would had listen to the whole speech you wouldn't be putting in just a few snippets like the Republicans did to rev wright to try to defame someone. He really dosen't need anymore ratings as most intelligent people know he has over twenty million listeners nation wide.As far as the other comment you made--- He is an insensitive, self-centered, pompous, arrogant, wind-bag!
I think your problably right, but a rich one at that and I really don't think he cares what you might think. "

" Let's see now,

According to Mary O'Neill, Rush opposes The Messiah's Non-Stimulus Economically-Cancerous Porkulus-Fraud for the sake of ratings and not as a matter of principle?

AND THAT'S BAD!

However:

Rush SHOULD kiss up to the misguided and profoundly ignorant MARY O'NEILLS of this country (who by the way sounds an awful lot like a Femi-Nazi Liberal Obama-Sycophant) FOR the pure sake of ratings.

AND THAT'S GOOD!

But, but, but..... Mary.

You Lib-Nazi's just spent the last eight years convincing the rest of us that DISSENT is the absolute highest form of patriotism!

Well of course not, Mary.

You would only tune into Rush if....... he stopped being Rush.

In other news, Mary O'Neill feels that water should stop being so gosh darned WET! "

You know, I wish Rush Limbaugh and others like that would run for office. They have so much to contribute and so much leadership and they have an answer for everything. And they would be elected overwhelmingly. [The truth is] they try to rip everyone down and make fools of everybody but they don't have any answers." "

" Limbaugh was not saying that he wished our country failed. He was stating that he wanted socialism to fail. We have an economic recession now and people are suffering. The administration has stated that they shouldn't "waste a good crisis" and are using it to pass their social programs and pork spending. Only about 20% of the stimulus bill will take effect during the next few years and the rest of it is full of pork and social agenda spending. How will this help us now?

Obama blatantly lied during his campaign about eliminating earmarks, bipartisanship, and cutting wasteful spending in the budget. Listen to Warren Buffet and Jack Welch, he needs to focus on the problem at hand, and now is not the time to push through more spending on health care and funding abortions and stem cell research and crippling the economy with more taxes to pay for it all.

No other administration has ever paid any attention to political commentators and entertainers before. They are just trying to focus our attention away from them while they rack up more debt than any administration in history. "

i decided i'd make a run on the bank, since they were out of money. i then made a run on the grocery store, since food production was halting. i bought a generator since power grids were going down. i bought binoculars in order to see the military coming in to takeover my local government. i let the dogs loose to run at will, since i wouldn't have money nor food to feed them. i called my kids to tell them to seek shelter in other countries....

all this after just 50 days.....what next? "

" Mary.... he doesn't need more ratings...he is doing just fine, like it or not. Additionally no one would blink an eye if liberals were wishing death on conservatives leaders and Rush is only hoping for policies he disagrees with to fail. Conservative or Liberal no one can deny that the government is only making matters worse.
"I am with the government and I am here to help" ....scary words. "

Hey Mary, I bet the 26% of women that do listen to Rush are some of the most happy, successful, hardworking women in our country. These women, like alot of us refuse to be victims in life, but you go ahead and continue to victimize yourself in life.

" "What's a life worth? Apparently not much in Great Britain. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, the government agency that decides which treatments the National Health Service will pay for, has effectively banned Lapatinib, a drug that was shown to slow the progression of breast cancer, and Sutent, which is the only medicine that can prolong the lives of some stomach cancer patients. Banning beneficial drugs due to cost is nothing new in Britain. NICE, which has to be one of history's most ironic acronyms, forbade the use of Tarceva, a lung cancer drug proven to extend patients' lives, and Abatacept, even though it's one of the only drugs that has been shown in clinical testing to improve severe rheumatoid arthritis. Once again, we have to ask: Do we really want to use the British system as the model for a U.S. health care regime? Promises of an effective, cost-effective health care system operated by the federal government are cruel fabrications. The British system shows that the state makes a mess of health care. So does the Canadian plan, which is plagued with unhealthy and often deadly waiting times for treatment. The Swedish government system is no better. It also refuses to provide some expensive medication and, inhumanely, refuses to let patients buy the drugs themselves. Why? According to a Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons article, bureaucrats believe doing so 'would set a bad precedent and lead to unequal access to medicine.' Like Canadians, Swedes are subjected to long waits. They also have denial-of-care problems that sometimes lead to death. A reasonable person would see the record of repeated failures in government-run medicine as evidence that such a system is not sustainable. Yet every central planner thinks he or she -- or his or her immediate group -- is smart enough to correct the flaws of socialist programs and therefore has the moral authority to force others to participate in his experiments. It is the same thinking that will move a person to say we are the ones we've been waiting for." --Investor's Business Daily "

" More slant from the MSM

from the web

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: I certainly hope he doesnt succeed.

Minutes later, as news of the terrorist attacks reached the hotel conference room where the Democrats were having breakfast with the reporters, Carville announced: Disregard everything we just said! This changes everything!

The press followed Carvilles orders, never reporting his or Greenbergs desire for Bush to fail. The omission was understandable at first, as reporters were consumed with chronicling the new war on terror. But months and even years later, the mainstream media chose to never resurrect those controversial sentiments, voiced by the Democratic Partys top strategists, that Bush should fail"

The left has been making a HUGE ordeal about an out of context quote from Limbaugh, but forget to mention this little tidbit. This is not even counting the 2006 poll, in which 51% of Democrats said they hoped that Bush fails. Must be nice to have the media in your pocket. "

"In the world of international politics, ceremonial gifts representing the various nations are often the drug of choice for visiting dignitaries. From ornamental swords to antique furniture, a US president can rake in dozens of items over the course of their administration.

Britisn Prime Minister Gordon Browns trip to America this week was no different, and he brought along some goodies. Specifically, Brown presented the Prez with a pen holder constructed from wood used in the Victorian era anti-slave ship HMS Gannet. But that wasnt all: according to the Daily Mail, Obama also received the ships certificate, a first edition biography of Winston Churchill and an assortment of high-value toys for his children.

So what did Gordon get in return? For his sake, we hope he really, really enjoyed Star Wars. Thats because Obama gave his English counterpart a basket containing 25 American films, ranging from E.T. to Some Like It Hot. Its worth noting that American DVDs (known as Region 1) wont play on British DVD players (known as Region 2), so we hope they brought along the PAL versions. For a full list of films now in possession by the Gordon household, head after the jump.

- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- Casablanca
- Chinatown
- Citizen Kane
- City Lights
- E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

" PANICKY DEMOCRATS WARN OBAMA: THE HONEYMOON'S ENDING

THE HILL (March 11 2009) President Obamas honeymoon is beginning to fade.

Members of Congress and old political hands say he needs to show substantial progress reviving the economy soon.

Some Democrats have started to worry that voters dont and wont understand the link between economic revival and Obamas huge agenda, which includes saving the banking industry, ending home foreclosures, reforming healthcare and developing a national energy policy, among much else.

While lawmakers debate controversial proposals contained in the new presidents debut budget cutting farm subsidies, raising taxes on charitable contributions, etc. there is a growing sense that time is running out faster than expected.

Can we be against Obama's plan and for America?

Absolutely. And we can do it with more honesty and integrity than the Anti-War Liberals like you who apparently have no problem with combat troops remaining in Iraq well into 2011, and beyond.

Our Dissent:

The MISSION is to revive the economy. The American tax-payers are the TROOPS.

WE the troops are dissenting against the tactics, NOT the mission. And we know Porkulus won't work because Keynesian economics have never worked.

Oh and, Porkulus II is already in the works and we don't even have the option of cut and run. "

I recently read where Poppa Bush said Jeb would make a great president. Too bad the party has turned to Limbaugh. Palin and Joe the plumbers helper for its salvation. Jeb may not get a chance to do to...er..uh..I mean FOR his country what his big brother did.

I just hope I don't get stuck in the free cheese line behind Limbaugh. Can you imagine how much cheese it would take to fill that bloated gasbag?

Hoping US servicemen/women get killed?

From opposing the invasion and occupation of Iraq to desiring for Americans get killed is quite a stretch in logic even for a right wing zealot.

But I'm sure you also bought into Cheney's claim that criticising the administration's actions during war time was unAmerican too, right sappy?.

" Mary, When Rush acts insensitive, self-centered, pompous, and arrogant, he's often being satirical and poking fun at himself or trying to demonstrate hypocrisy of politicians, or trying to be amusing. If you listen to him for any length of time, you'll see he's not really like that, although he is confident in his principles and sometimes annoying or petty in his disucussions.

He's also given millions to leukemia research and other charities: hardly the act of the demon so many castigate him as. But as for a windbag, ok, can't argue there. He does have 3 hours to talk, after all.

For more reasoned, pro-Obama liberal's take on Rush, see liberal feminist Camille Paglia's latest comments.

" Rep. Brad Sherman, a Democrat from California, has been a leading critic of his party leadership's response to the banking crisis. Over the past month, however, he's been aiming for a new target: Rush Limbaugh.

Except Rush won't play along. In early February, before Limbaugh had become the public face of the GOP, Sherman began making attempts to arrange a debate on Rush's popular radio show, his office said. When Sherman got no response, he sent Rush a letter.

"If you had any confidence in your position, you would agree to my request to have me on your show--where I'm sure I could demonstrate the merits of my views," he wrote.

"You are a coward," he assessed. "Very truly yours, Brad Sherman."

Limbaugh has yet to respond, said a spokesman for Sherman. Limbaugh's producer, Kit Carson, told the Huffington Post he hadn't seen the letter, but that he couldn't speak for Limbaugh. The radio talk-show host, who Democrats portray as the leader of the GOP, is taking the next two days off, said Carson, and will return Monday.

Huffington post-

There is no way the sumo wrestler looking Limbaugh would agree to debate this guy. His calls to debate Obama were just a show. He knew Obama was not about to debate a two bit huckster like himself, so he could could crow all day long and be safe.

The question now is, does old flabby have the guts to debate this congressman. I say he won't. There's is a reason he won't take guests on his show and rarely does an intelligent caller get through to him on his radio show.

This bloated gasbag is only comfortable talking to groups like the right wingers he spoke to last week end. There he can huff and puff and jump up and down waving his flabby arms knowing the drooling crowd will eat it up.

Kind of funny, the economy is in terrible shape and under his watch the democrat troika in charge has added such huge amounts more to a national debt that was already totally out of control.

Are you starting to understand hes just another plain old politician and not at all concerned about anything but his own personal agenda and power?

When will you die-hard democrats and republicans realize neither party cares one iota about the American taxpayer?

Both parties have become a terrible, sick joke and both have and are continuing to destroy this country.

A small majority of the voting population threw out those nasty republicans because of their stupid actions. Now the new group that was put in appears to be on track to be twice as bad.

Instead of letting ourselves be distracted by the democrat ploy of villainizing Rush Limbaugh (pushed forward only to take the focus off of the new administrations failures to date), we should be hammering our representatives in both parties to get back on focus for the people or throw them all out in the next elections.

It's that simple. It's the same as bipartisanship, no lobbyists, clean up government, cutting earmarks, eliminating wasteful spending and all of his other campaign rhetoric to attract the MTV generation and get elected. You see, once you are in office, you no longer have need for any of that. It is exactly the same thing as when the Democrats campaigned in 2006 on ending the Iraq war.

"corporate media reporters had willingly rolled over for the Bush lies that caused war.
The rescue of Private Jessica, the "enemy attack" slaying of Pat Tillman, the fall of Saddams statue..."

Yes the media jumped on the "feel good" stories initially in the war, but when it was shown that army was less than truthful about these events, the media turned on them like rabid dogs. Please, don't expect anyone to believe that the majority of the war reporting was candy coated or even had a positive slant to it. You know the opposite is true.

"They bribed columnists. Local TV stations aired propaganda generated by Bush PR hacks, pretending it had been prepared by real reporters."

This sounds like a personal opinion to me.

"The real mission of the corporate media is to reassure the public about the benevolence of corporate-welfare capitalism -- which just crashed worldwide -- and to justify both inequality and the overwhelmingly dominant role of the corporation as the provider of all income and benefits. "

That's a good one. Anyone else want to pipe up and claim the media is treating the big corporations with kid gloves now? They are pretty much being made the poster children for this whole mess. Some of it is deserved, but the left is using this for their continuing class warfare campaign, in which they try to justify crippling tax hikes to pay for their pork projects and social programs. None of which will have anything but a negative impact on the economy. "

If you expect me to rush to the defense of turncoats like Arlen Specter and the others, then I'm sorry to disappoint you. Anyway, does that somehow excuse the earmarks from the Democrats? The point made was that eliminating earmarks, wasteful spending, and transparency were key points of Obama's campaign. He could have demanded the same from congress, but he is obviously content to let Reid and Pelosi run the show. It was pretty obvious with how he signed the spending bill privately and avoided the media fanfare that he usually enjoys. "

I totally agree with you HP if you are saying that both political parities are totally corrupt and dont serve the we the people. That in fact, historically politicians have almost always done the expedient thing to ensure their power and prestige, regardless of party affiliation.

But the specific question I posed to you was legitimate.

If in fact President Obama really believed and meant what he has said several times, that we need to trim the pork from the government spending, why didnt he tell Polisi and Reid that he was going to veto this terrible bill if they sent it up without cutting the fat and then actually do it when they put it forward?

ed millers response was that he lied. Since I am already predisposed to believe that almost every professional politician lies, it does have a certain ring of truth to it.

HP- Please keep in mind that I have already agreed with you that yes, the Republicans also have a long history of hypocrisy.

I really want to know why you think the new president said one thing, did the exact opposite and then tried to spin his actions into doing the right thing in the future.

To be clear, my follow up question to you is- why do you Harry Potter think President Obama not only didnt try to stop the pork, but in fact signed it, then tried to spin his signing into something he will do in the future? "

And dozens of American television stations broadcast items produced by the Bush administration and major corporations, and passed them off as normal news reporting by their own staffs. Some of the fake news segments talked up success in the war in Iraq, or promoted the companies' products.
The Federal Communications Commission investigated stations across the country after a report produced by a campaign group detailed the extraordinary extent of the use of such items.
The report, by the non-profit group Center for Media and Democracy, found that over a 10-month period at least 77 television stations were making use of the faux news broadcasts, known as Video News Releases (VNRs). Not one told viewers who had produced the items.

"We have loaned huge amounts of money to the United States, so of course, we have to be concerned. . . . We hope the United States honors its word and ensures the safety of Chinese assets."

About half of China's estimated $2 trillion of foreign exchange reserves, the largest in the world, are invested in U.S. Treasury and other government-backed bonds. China's continued holdings and future purchases of American debt are considered an important part of financing for Obama's $787-billion economic stimulus plan.

In a visit to China last month, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sought to assure Beijing that U.S. debt remained a reliable investment. But some Chinese scholars have called for more investments in natural resources and other commodities and less in U.S. financial instruments, which they view as more susceptible to large losses because of the risks of a fall in the dollar or rising inflation should Washington print more money to support its spending."

EMANUEL TIED TO $8.5 MILLION IN EARMARKS

Top Obama aide has 16 projects in spending bill

ChicagoTribune (March 2 2009) Even though President Barack Obama has repeatedly pledged to ban congressional earmarks, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has 16 such projects, worth about $8.5 million, in the bill the Senate is considering this week.

Well, guess what. The economy will eventually turn around. It always does. Many economists have said that the best "stimulus" was an inadvertent result of the recession. Fuel prices were halved and that in itself injected billions of spending money into the economy. The TRILLIONS in deficit spending to "jump start" the economy, however, will have negative ramifications for generations, by weakening our dollar and indebting our children to the Chinese. A very small percentage of the money spent was even "stimulating" to anything and was just unnecessary social programs that will handcuff administrations for years to come. The first TARP initiated by Bush did very little and no one is really sure where all of the money is. This is our government at work, folks. They are going to take care of us from cradle to grave. "

Bill Clinton Blames Kennedy for No Child Left Behind Flaws

ABCNews (Feb 1 2008) "The President made a deal with Senator Kennedy and neither one of them meant to mess it up," Bill Clinton told a crowd of about 400 teachers and students in Texarkana.

"I want you to think about this, and I have to say, this was a train wreck that was not intended. No Child Left Behind was supported by George Bush and Senator Ted Kennedy and everybody in between. Why? Because they didn't talk to enough teachers before they did that," Clinton said yesterday at Arizona State University, according to the Associated Press.

But today marks the first time the former president seemed to blame Kennedy for the bill.

In 2001, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., voted for the No Child Left Behind Act, but has since said it was mismanaged and should be replaced.

" (The Question - "The report, by the non-profit group Center for Media and Democracy......")

Here's what The Drama Queen's NOT telling you Ed.

From Activistcash.com

The Center for Media & Democracy (CMD)
is a counterculture public relations effort disguised as an independent media organization. CMD isnt really a center it would be more accurate to call it a partnership, since it is essentially a two-person operation.

Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber operate, as do most self-anointed progressive watchdogs, from the presumption that any communication issued from a corporate headquarters must be viewed with a jaundiced eye. In their own quarterly PR Watch newsletter, they recently referred to corporate PR as a propaganda industry, misleading citizens and manipulating minds in the service of special interests. Ironically, Rampton and Stauber have elected to dip into the deep pockets of multi-million-dollar foundations with special interest agendas of their own.

Their books Mad Cow U.S.A. and Toxic Sludge Is Good for You! were produced and promoted using grant monies from the Foundation for Deep Ecology ($25,000) and the Education Foundation of America ($20,000), among others. Along with the more recent Trust Us: Were Experts, these books are scare-mongering tales about a corporate culture out of control, and each implies that the public needs rescuing. Guess who the heroes in this fantasy are?

Despite his wild claims that federal agencies have covered up U.S. mad cow disease cases, John Stauber has become a quotable celebrity on the subject. In 1997, at the height of the initial mad-cow panic, a CMD press release warned: Evidence suggests there may already be a mad-cow-type of disease infecting both U.S. pigs and cattle. Rampton and Stauber have never provided any documentation to back up this reckless claim; no cases of mad-cow disease have ever been documented in U.S. livestock. John Stauber was one of only four mad-cow experts offered to reporters by Fenton Communications media arm, Environmental Media Services.

Motivation

As the liberal Village Voice commented in April 2001, "These guys come from the far side of liberal." Seen through this dynamic duo's socialist lens, societys major problems are capitalism in general and corporations in particular. If someone in a shirt and tie dares make a profit (especially if food or chemicals are involved), Rampton and Stauber are bound to have a problem with it. Unless, of course, that food is vegetarian, organic, certified fair-trade, shade-grown, biodynamic, or biotech-free in which case, the skys the limit!

Blackeye

Rampton and Staubers latest book (Trust Us, Were Experts! ) was delivered to the media with a slick press kit, citing favorable reviews from media experts. The packet also included a prewritten list of questions for reporters to ask when interviewing the authors. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel blew the whistle, though, noting that "a somewhat sheepish Stauber" offered the following feeble excuse: "What you see is a true PR campaign around our book. This is how book publishing is done. I think its bad. I hate it."

Here's a tasty little "unbiased" piece of work from Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber the "independent" operators of The Center for Media & Democracy:

POLITICO - (March 14 2009) Beginning Sunday, the White House will harness every part of the Democratic Party's machinery to defend President Obamas budget and portray Republicans as reflexively political, according to party strategists.

A participant in the planning meetings described the push as a successor to Democrats message that Rush Limbaugh is the Republican Party leader. "We have exhausted the use of Rush as an attention-getter," the official said.

The Democrats' new plan follows the private complaints of some Democrats that Obama let the GOP get the better of him during the debate over pork in the budget bill he just signed, and growing concerns among some Democrats that charges of big spending could stick to the president.

First, you kicked from your campaign tour reporters working for newspapers that were perceived as not drinking the Obama Kool-Aid. Then you cited Fox News for hurting your poll numbers.

There were rumblings that you supported reinstating the "Fairness Doctrine" if by any other name, thereby removing the marketplace from the free exchange of ideas. And that you support a quota system for radio station ownership, dubbed "localism," in the name of "diversity."

Now, it turns out, your top aides had for months devised an attack on a private citizen troubled by what he sees as your socialistic agenda, who was merely exercising his right to speak out.

Demonizing Rush Limbaugh, who happens to be the nation's most popular radio talk show host, is enemies-list Nixonian in the most chilling form. And equating Lim-baugh, who is not a politician or public official, with the leadership of the Republican Party would be like saying George Soros or Arianna Huffington runs the Democratic Party.

The proposal is politically problematic for President Obama, however, since it is similar to one he denounced in the presidential campaign as "the largest middle-class tax increase in history." Most Americans with insurance get it from their employers, and taxing workers for the benefit is opposed by union leaders and some businesses."

Earmarks, bi-partisanship, no wasteful spending, transparency, and now this. Wow, has any other politician broken so many campaign promises so quickly?

Please kid, you're making me misty.

The truth is you have lived on public aid all your life, I'll bet.

And looking back over your class schedule at LLC, I wouldn't be bit surprised if you entered college on a GED.

Not that that's a bad thing, mind you. Normally I would commend that accomplishment especially given the stark reversal of your early course.

But your out-right braggadocios attitude towards your relatively meager academic achievements is just begging for a slap-down, kid.

You instigated this back and forth by questioning my education a month and a half ago. You obviously know nothing about me, and most of the information you provided about yourself is impossible to verify. But then, who cares. I don't.

I've always tried to make my debates centered around factual information in here. I've never thrown my education or my accomplishments around as a way to impress and dazzle anyone. And I rarely mention the amount of time and money I donate to charities because quite frankly, that cheapens my motives for giving.

Life beat all of this crap out of me long ago.

And mark my words kid; Sooner or later life is going to beat that crap out of you as well.

First of all Rohn, I've never "beaten" you up in here (that I can ever recall) and I have no reason to start now.

Secondly, LLC is NOT some holy sacred temple in this community. It provides a valuable service, but it also eats our tax dollars at an alarming (and often) unjustified rate.

Criticism of LLC should never be squelched in here, and people should never be afraid to voice their opinion over the use of their tax dollars.

When I refer to LLC in a condescending manner, it's mainly for "stirring things up".

Remember how everyone supposedly loves that, Rohn?

Frankly I don't care if people like what I say.

Agree, disagree, read me, skip over me, whatever.

Read the posts that you like, and feel free to ignore the rest, Rohn.

OR debate me.

As long as you don't call me names or become abusive, I will treat you with the same respect.

But honestly Rohn, you seem every bit the gentleman as far as I can tell. So you would probably have to really hit me with some rather serious insults in order to raise my ire. LOL "

Throwing our tax money at a problem in a panic, with no oversight as to how it is spent, is unforgivable. We don't know the whole story on the bonuses. Many of them are contractual and probably considered salary by those that receive them. The actual bonus money is only like one tenth of one percent of the stimulus money anyway and probably would have contributed more to "stimulating" the economy. Don't forget, something like 20 billion of AIG's bailout went to foreign banks as well. Once again, the congress is playing the class warfare card and insinuating the money is going rich guys with fleets of private jets. One boneheaded senator even suggested the AIG execs should be honorable and resign or commit suicide.

The Federal Government has no one else to blame for irresponsibly throwing money at problems with no consideration as to how to best utilize it beforehand. We have no one else to blame for reelecting the same irresponsible clowns every year because of party loyalty. "

Nearly two-thirds of the cases involved rape or aggravated assault.

You don't have to say it, junior.

You're living it.

Do you really want to give back to the community kid?

Here's an idea.

Get your butt off the computer, postpone your scheduled Anti-War protest, skip your Young Radicals Meeting, and GET A JOB for the first time in your life.

Then you can start to pay taxes like the rest of us. "

...My time is plenty productive, once again we can see you've got money on your mind, I think the Bush presidency had that problem, The thing is, news directing IS a full time job, Running live remotes is a seperate full time job, being an on air personality is also in itself a seperate career, SO therefore I am working 3 jobs plus 6 classes plus being a father, and I make money doing it, sorry to burst your bubble yellowdog lol :) "

" TQ,

The government KNEW about the bonuses when they gave them the money. It's not all AIG's fault. It's just another example of class warfare trying to distract us from the real issues. AIG was contractually obligated to give out that money. I'm not saying they deserved it, but now that the US taxpayers practically own AIG, the employees can sue for their bonuses and probably win. This is what Congress gets for blindly throwing our money at any problem without any foresight or planning as to how it should be spent. "

Like you Rohn, I have no idea as to the accuracy, but even if they are somewhat skewed, the numbers show a very serious problem for the military. Certainly there are good and honorable people who join and even make a career out of the military. My point was that there seems to be a disproportionate number of perverts in the military who prey on our young female service women. "

" In recent weeks, my friends across the aisle have expended a lot of breath proclaiming that the Democrats caused the present financial crisis by failing to pass legislation to regulate financial services companies in the years 1995 through 2006.

There is only small one problem with this story -- throughout this entire period the Republicans were in complete charge of the House and for the most critical years they controlled the House, the Senate, and the Presidency.

In the House of Representatives, the majority party has almost unlimited power over the minority party. The majority party owns the committee chairmanships; it controls what bills come to a vote; and it is under no obligation to consider the ideas of the beleaguered minority. When the Republicans were in the majority they ruled with an iron first; it is no accident that Tom DeLay was known as "The Hammer."

That is why I find it particularly flattering the Republicans now claim that in the years 1995 to 2006 I personally possessed supernatural powers which enabled me to force mighty Republican leaders to do my bidding. Choose your comic book hero -- I was all of them.

We've already been over this "whose fault is it" debate. You know that McCain and others pushed to regulate Fannie and Freddie, and were shot down. The point is that it doesn't really matter. Both parties need to look at what went wrong, but more importantly, need to get things back on track responsibly.

As far as your 6:35pm post, your buddy TQ beat you on that little tidbit of info by about four hours. Anyway, do you really want the government opening a can of worms on setting pay caps? Half of the congress are in bed with these guys anyway, and what about the billions going to foreign banks? Executive pay and compensation should be decided by the stockholders of the company. The government is just trying to direct public anger at the CEO's and not where it belongs, which is at congress for giving billions of tax dollars away with no oversight. "

Only three possibilities here. One: Geithner found out about the bonuses as soon as his staff did and lied about it to Congress. Two: Geithner told Congress the truth but, thanks to the understaffing crisis at Treasury, it now takes 10 days for politically important matters to trickle up to the secretarys desk. Three: Geithner told the truth and theres no understaffing crisis, but his staffs so incompetent that they didnt realize this was a priority when they found out.
