Man, don’t mention his name. Get’s me all wet around the eyes.

DSW is doing a great job. But just the sheer number of articles and vast amount of information that FDL loses with DDay gone is impossible to fill.

In the interim there seems to be a lot of fluff pieces front paged.

Wait wait wait… You’re saying there are restaurants that require no chewing? Just think of how many more things we could do if we never had to chew.

People enjoy it the same reason they enjoy eating other things. They like the taste. Of all the horrible things we out in our bodies from fast food restaurants and other junk food locations… And this is where you draw the line? I enjoy the taste.

I know it’s made from nasty stuff. As is most of the things available from fast food when you get down to the nitty gritty of the ingredients. It’s called junk food for a reason.

It’s the average working man and woman who will suffer.

As is always the case.

I shutter to imagine where this country would be if your type of compromise was how FDR and JFK and Lincoln operated during their terms.

What exactly is the GOP giving up? Tax increase on the richest of the rich? Theyu are already going to expire. They aren’t giving up anything. This is how Obama works. He negotiates against himself in order to push through his Neo Liberal agenda and hope that when he is out of office he still has a seat at the table. It’s shameless and disgusting.

Not surprising one bit. And the sad part is a lot of people here at the lake voted for these bastards…again and again. Front paging orgasms over Obama unfortunately ruins FDL’s credibility on these types of “I’M SHOCKED” moments.

Again, it’ll be a dark day at the lake when David Dayen is no longer trying to counter blind faith in “our side” with facts.

Nooooooooo! You and Kevin are the only reason I still come to FDL. I’m sure it’s been mentioned above but your in depth reporting on foreclosure fraud and everything surrounding the financial crisis and the crooks on walk st. has no equal. It will be truly missed. You are an important voice for the progressive community and we need your voice to help level the playing field with truth.

The amount of work you provided FDL is crazy so I can definitely understand your position. But I don’t know if you know how valued you are and how much you will be missed. FDL will not be the same without you. Another one bites the dust.

Taxes shmaxes. Is it not the American way to try and limit you’re taxes as much as possible? Is that not why there are so many loopholes? Legal illegal who cares? Almost all of our elected officials break the law day after day. Our president breaks the law. Or business leaders break the law. Breaking the law and getting away with it is the new American dream.

So Romney is a piece of shit that doesn’t pay his taxes. And Obama is a piece of shit that pisses on the Constitution and the rule of law. Now what?

So obviously we wouldn’t want to have a beer with Mitt. Is this what our elections have come down to? How but we focus on policy and the fact that neither of these candidates offer anything that will help improve the life if the average American.

Screw the Dems and the Repugs. They’ve all contributed to the fucked up position this country is in. enjoy your crumbs.

It seems being stupid and voting against your own interests is not uniquely American. Take that American exceptionalism.

We live in a very depressing time for our country. Every bit of information we learn each day just reaffirms that the middle and lower classes are screwed because of a few people at the top who are just too selfish and/or too stupid to accept change that will benefit the majority over a select few.

I love you writing Mr Dayen but, can’t you just once write about ponies or rainbows or something a little more upbeat?

I work for a company that is in this business. We operate out of CA and handle foreclosed properties all over the country. I handle Florida… Which is a ton. You just can’t believe how bad some of these properties are. Some of them have 25 feet high grass and properties that haven’t been maintained in years.

The problem is taxpayers pay for stuff that doesn’t need to be done. For example, we get Sent to foreclosed apartments which are maintained by the apartment complex. We will never cut these properties but, because the bank is getting money from the federal government to “maintain” these properties they continue to send them to us over and over. So we get a contractor out to get a few photos showing it’s an apartment, pay him, we get paid, the bank gets paid… And then two weeks later we get the same order over to go do it all over again. Such a waste.

Yeah, I’m sure that adult who had 100 pounds on the kid really feared for his life. Feared for his life so much that he got out of his car and followed him away from the street in order to be attacked by the kid.

A troll by any other name…

Race aside, only an idiot would think this murder of an unarmed kid was justified. No matter what the circumstance.

Wait… There’s hamburgers? Don’t tease me.
