Thanks for sharing the video. I just shook my head in agreement. What a sad time we live in.

May the old Gary Floozy die a quick but painful death from a “socialist” disease.

You are right Proreason and of course the mandatory ‘spontaneous’ protests do not begin until after the bailouts are ‘legislated’ but of course the NYTs was head cheerleader on releasing confidential material against evil bushitlerburtonco, in burying the damaging information against The One ™ and thusly helping him get elected.

Therefore the NYTs will get special ‘protest free’ dispensation from The One ™ and the Klownposse in DC will go on as usual investigating everyone but themselves.

How about We The People hold an investigation? btw, OT, but SG, I think you and every other outlet (conservative, Republican, Independant, Libertarian, Sane, etc) should post this poll question – Should Your Representative and/or Senators be Investigated and/or Recalled for not Representing his/her constituency. I do believe that the Klownposse in DC and most especially The One ™ would be truly shocked at the results.

Hot Air had this video on ‘bailouts’ that probably makes ~~as much~~ more sense than what the Klownposse in DC and their TOTUS leader are putting out – but they must keep the masses stuck on stupid to succeed:

There’s zero chance the Slimes will go under, DGA.

It’s the flagship of the commiecrats and will not be allowed to fail.

The decline of the NYT isn’t fast enough for me, we had to live through it’s slander and treason during the entire Iraq war. It’s days are numbered, but there is probably a congress bailout bill being penned as we speak. Dammit!

Yes, I’m behind the power curve on that. My time machine is broken and I’m waiting for bailout money to get it fixed. Forgive me if I’m slow. :-)

Yes, we mentioned that in our piece on March 12:

Of course it is a French jet.

WHERE IS THE COMPASSION FOR THESE DISTRESSED WORKERS!!!!!!! !!!!!!! !!!!!!!

How much in bonuses is management being paid?
How many parties have been thrown by management?
What are management’s perks? Are they still in effect?
What kind of disaster counseling will be provided for these oppressed journalists?
Where is the federal government in this national disaster? Where is FEMA?
Why isn’t the President on this? Where is Treasury Secretary Geisthner?
Where is the Union? Is there a Union? This could not happen if there was a Union protecting these national treasure jobs.

Rush Limbaugh should be taxed at 90% to provide the funds to protect these workers. And Anne Coulter. And Glenn Beck. And Sarah Palin.

Carlos Slim is kicking ass and taking names. He is a business man (worth $35B – #3 worldwide businessmen) who looks for a rate of return. Considering he has no voting rights, with a 6.4% share (which can increase to 17% through performance metrics) and loaned $250M – he is trying to right the ship and does not care about touchy feely “journalists” crying to Google and the world about their poor performance as a public company. Real estate holdings, ad rates, online ventures , etc are bleeding money due to their liberal slant.

Funny, cries of “outrage” occurred when Murdoch bought the WSJ, yet it is one of the few flat or growing newspapers in the world.

Lesson to be learned: Let people who make money tell you how to make money.
Everything else is a failing opinion…
