Produce?

Lest, Obama produced. It has sent the neurotics into orbit, who have now decided they know better than the officials of Hawaii, Factcheck.Org, etc.

No document is going to convince the neurotics.

Mental Illness on Public Display

Mbote......I agree.

We are comfortable talking about how mental illness infects our inner cities. They live in boxes. They beg for money.

We're not quite so facile as to understand that they also are the ones who file nuisance lawsuits, who create blogs that examine on-line images for evidence, etc., and who hang onto a thread of sanity by saying over and over, "where there's smoke there's fire," even though the fire was started by them.

Sad? I'm not sure I buy that one. I haven't met too many authentically insane people who are all that sad. Depression is a particular disease, and those folks generally are too, well, depressed to get into these discussions.

What I do buy is bi-polar/schizorphenic/paranoid, and I'm so not a professional....they are lumped together in terms of what I personally encounter.

But, whatever my label may be?

The real issue is that these people are irrational.

It doesn't matter why.

58%

disapproval by Americans for this bailout is what you need to look at.

Also, I'd notice that BofA which isn't union is laying off 35,000.

Give me a break.

Experience Not Needed for Senate

While Caroline announces she's ready to be handed the seat, the other Caroline actually works in government, has actually won real campaigns, and actually has earned the right to be considered.

I think the entire story says it all about why Washington is a joke and has such low approval ratings.

No experience needed.

A job for everyman (woman)

What's hilarious is that the public thinks it's perfectly suitable that someone with zero experience in working with voters has the right stuff to be a senator.

It rather explains those "lower than even Bush" ratings congress is getting, huh?

In short, the polls are saying, "Anyone could do it."

Questions

are being raised, so the "hands-off" attitude of the entire election is clearly over.

And Obama clearly didn't adjust fast enough.

However, there's nothing to uncover here.

No questions?

That's overly optimistic. There's obviously a reason that questions have been shut down.

Why? We'll have to wait to find out that answer.

Petulance

Obama has a streak of payback petulance, doesn't he?

It's showing.
