Wasn’t it Milo in “Catch 22″ who said that since we all had a piece of the action it didn’t mater that he was outsourcing the bombing of our own troops?

I googled gorilla’s weight and got 300 -500 pounds. It seems that even our metaphors are obese. Maybe the junk info we’ve been force fed by the MSM?
I’m going on a strict diet of AlJazeera, FDL, & D-Now!

jimhicks3 commented on the blog post Blindspots and Fear of the Working Class
QUESTION
What seems most important, to me, is that a blind faith in capitalism led to catastrophe. And at a time when we should be reining in the capitalism that failed so badly, we are instead capitulating to it, using the event of the failure of our corporate masters to give them even more. How is that even happening? And to what degree does the blogosphere deserve some of the blame?ANSWER

jimhicks3 commented on the blog post Floyd Abrams’ Abuse of Power
You all should check out the comments after Abram’s article. Here is just one example.
” Mr. Assange is no boon to American journalists. His activities have already doomed proposed federal shield-law legislation protecting journalists’ use of confidential sources in the just-adjourned Congress.”_ Perhaps if the WSJ and other mainstream media stood behind Assange his activities (legal activities) would not DOOM proposed legislation. Wring your hands and do nothing, just don’t place the blame elsewhere.
” An indictment of him could be followed by the judicial articulation of far more speech-limiting legal principles than currently exist with respect to even the most responsible reporting about both diplomacy and defense.”
_ You mean an indictment of all of MEDIA is threatened, so you must trash Assange to save your own behinds, lol, cowards!
” If he is not charged or is acquitted of whatever charges may be made, that may well lead to the adoption of new and dangerously restrictive legislation.”
_ Crying wolf again, yet you do little except again show your self serving/surviving attitude for the mainstream media.
” In more than one way, Mr. Assange may yet have much to answer for.”
_ No my friend that is not true, the mainstream media (WSJ) has much to answer for, namely why they circle their own wagons and don’t have the intestinal fortitude to stand up for Assange . Cowards indeed!!
His readers have his number!!!!!!! -

Saw “Inside Job” this weekend and along with following yeves smiths’ naked capitalism I think you couldn’t get snarky enough.
Of all the shit heads in the movie Larry Summers comes off as the smuggest.
I guess we’ll just have to wait till he’s back teaching at Haavud and audit a class.
heh
