msobel commented on the diary post The Chicago White Sox Sunday Defeat Sent Stock Market Tumbling: It Wasn’t the Debt Downgrade by Dean Baker.
On the Irony isn’t dead frontier, the stock market and treasury market showed that the Literal Market Fundamentalists are right, they know bullshit when they see it. In spite of Europe and the White Sox, the market held off crashing while there was theoretically a chance to avoid an all out bi-partisan embrace of Austerity. [...]

I want to suggest a change of style for your writing. With respect.
If you could either at the beginning or at the end provide a summary of your conclusions, it would make it easier to understand without wading through the quotes.
In other words, you make a point and then prove it with quotes, perhaps, allowing a trusting reader to read the exec summary.
Try taking this piece and repeat all the quote summaries at the top.
Thanks, read you every day but some times I don’t have time for the details. Mercy Marcy

Then there is the new Chase currency innovations

Why would anyone assume this is an isolated incident?

You silly person.
“Maybe now that we’ve established the principle that people should go to jail for lying like this, we can finally send a bankster to jail? ”
What case law (which has passed review by the Roberts court) allows a TBTF Bankster to go to jail for a felony ?

I thought I had already commented but I don’t read Keller, as a life long Times reader, reading him is real “enhanced interrogation”.

Have you noticed no one has seen Julian Assange and that reporter who writes for the Daily Planet, what’s his name Kent, together ?

msobel commented on the blog post BREAKING!! White Terrorists to Be Treated Like Brown Terrorists!!
But doesn’t the law say that White Christian Males are lone wolves, nothing to see here, and not Terrorists ?

msobel commented on the blog post Early Morning Swim
Teabagging logic
About 350,000 children born in the U.S. in 2009 had at least one undocumented parent, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan research group in Washington, D.C. About 8 percent of all children born in the U.S. from March 2009 to March 2010 had undocumented parents, according to the center.
So hypothetical: Dope crazed (aren’t they all) alien rapes white blond cheerleader who is forced to carry resulting baby who is deported on birth ?

But how will the Democrats motivate their base ? How about punching some hippies, recruiting Blue Dogs, cutting Social Security and cutting taxes for the rich some more ?

msobel commented on the blog post Wisconsin: Walker Helps State Senator’s Girlfriend Land Staff Gig
You libruls apparently don’t believe in Equal Justice Under Law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_justice_under_law). The GOP are obviously successfully doing to this young lady what they are trying to do to all the government workers (and the Senator’s marriage vows. )
With her, it’s just compensated.

msobel commented on the blog post The Republican Establishment Declares War on Sarah Palin
Why doesn’t on of the numerous Left Wing Koch Heads start a “grassroots” website called I don’t know, “American Labels” to push Sarah Palin as an independent from the Republican sellouts who should run her own campaign.
Because
1) we aren’t cynical enough
2) there aren’t numerous Left Wing Koch Heads -
msobel commented on the diary post Japanese Nuclear Watch Update – One Meltdown, Another Probable, Large Evacuations Ordered by Bill Egnor.
This unfortunate incident will require tens of millions of dollars in increased lobbying and campaign contributions in order to maintain a sensible perspective on the low cost, safety and green nature of nuclear power. That in turn will require significan increases in public utility rates to maintain financial stability and executive compensation in the industry.

msobel commented on the blog post Online Personas and Congress
re:”And how do they know that? Do they refuse to interact online with anyone whose IP address shows them to be in the US?”
I think there is an excellent opportunity here. Since the price of internet capable machines is getting so low, and there is a large population already being supported, the relatively progressive Humane societies could get together to help shape public opinion.

msobel commented on the blog post Oliver North’s Pre-Trial Conditions For UCMJ Violations Dramatically Different Than Bradley Manning’s
Silly person. North is the exact opposite on Manning. They were trying to get North to not rat. With North, to rat or not to rat was not a question.

Amazon, Visa, PayPal acted based on US Lies? So will WikiLeaks release details on US lies to shut down WikiLeaks ?

Frankly with “Whistle blower Goes to Wikileaks” http://bit.ly/dOcSzo
