Hey, if the government can read my email, why can’t I read theirs? If they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear, right? Right?

Ah, the delicious taste of irony. Tastes like caek.

He’s putting to much on this Americans not living within their means.

Can I say that part drives me totally batty? I’ve heard that from some Democrats too, along the lines of: “people need to take responsibility for making bad decisions.” From now on, I don’t want to hear that anymore from a Democrat, not when referring to the working or middle classes that have been f*cked over in every way conceivable from my point of view (Of course just when you heard it all, there’s sometimes more to come).

That seems right to me. It seems that a decision may have been made also, to quit intermixing MSNBC and NBC staffs so much and let MSNBC go more as the left counter-Fox. Brokaw and Williams can continue with to discuss news with raised pinkies and the MSNBC people can say what they think more. Gregory’s MSNBC show is based on the election and would have to be renamed,or replaced, after the election.

Re Steven Pearlstein,

He’s putting to much on this Americans not living within their means. The simple truth is that rather than redistributing some of the nation’s wealth in the last 30 years to increase workers wages this money has gone to the rich and the lower and middle class have had to go more deeply in debt to stay where they are. I don’t know Pealstein but I wonder what he thought about Bush’s tax cuts for the richest Americans beginning back in 2001. Was he criticizing those as foolish and spendthrift?

ET -
Thanks for hopping off the rail and into the pig sty.
We have to bring reality to where those people live.
They certainly aren’t interested in seeking it on their own.

OT: FWIW, Obama now leads or is tied with McCain in all national polls currently posted at TPM Election Central (all dated 9/18 and 9/17). Per CNN, Obama leads in OH and is tied in FL.

believe that part two of David Talbot’s salon.com series on the Mat-Su Valley will concenttrate on Rev. Bess. Lindsay covered part one of Talbot’s work here yesterday

I hope so. Sometimes there is one issue in particular that outrages some person about a candidate, perhaps because of profession, affiliation etc. The censorship of Pastor I am Gay and Palin’s attitude toward librianship & its core values (freedom of information) as portrayed in some of the news articles, is what sends me over the roof and makes me want to do some phonebanking or something . . .

IMHO, Chris Matthews has been transitioning from his attempt to be a non-partisan journalist to returning to his Dem roots for quite some time…over the war, and now the financial mess. He’s no more happy with out world reputation than we are, I think, and I believe he believes this is too important not to take a stand. Plus, he seem Keith doing it, and that gave him the courage.
