From AFP: “Much of the debate has focused on whether readers, accustomed to getting news for free online, will be ready to pay for quality journalism.”

With painfully few exceptions, most Americans are waiting impatiently for newspapers in general in this country to start with that “quality journalism.” When the papers start delivering it again, maybe people will be willing to pay for it again.

Obama to Wall St: You WILL take this 900 Billion and growing bailout if I have to jam it down your throat, and you WILL recover.

Wall Street: SELLL!

What if we had a bailout and nobody took the money?

From “The Chosen One’s” mouth today: “It’s a little hard for me to take criticism from folks about this recovery package after they’ve presided over a doubling of the national debt,” Obama said.

He’s almost right, you know. It was Republicans (including the prez) who allowed the spending and debt to soar as it did in the last eight years.

Because they were acting exactly like fiscal donkeys. That’s the part he left out, and exactly the reason his pork payoff bill won’t work.

And the news keeps talking about the “tax cuts.” What tax cuts? About the only “cuts” I’ve seen in the bill are massive transfers of wealth.

The mime used to be, “Bush lied, people died.” Now we can start miming, “O lied, children died.”

Just like the first mime, it won’t make any difference if it is true or not, has any relevance or not, or can or should be hung on O or not; the important thing is it is short, doesn’t take any thinking, and fits right into the inability of libs to form any kind of coherent thought of their own.
