Just today I saw this link on Linkiest (John Hawkin's link site). Essentially, the article is about a liberal supporter of Obama and national health care admitting it is about making the middle class dependent on the government.

Interesting. The left-wingers are ignoring the big wins in NJ and VA and focusing on NY-23, a seat that Owens will have to fight for next year and will probably lose. Good. That means they're cocky, and they'll get hammered in '10.

The fat lady hasn't sung yet. StlDan is right. We'll know more after 2010 and 2012.

The irony is that Sadly No's adolescent ravings will likely boost the sales of the novel.

All good points and I agree. I wanted to comment on the media paying attention to the customers (the public).

I worked in news radio in the Denver metro area for almost six years. No one saw the listeners as customers. No one I worked with cared for the listeners. The listeners didn't pay us to listen to us, they listened for free. TV and radio get money from the advertisers who purchase air time for commercials. Essentially, they are selling our attention span.

That's why journalists and the MSM in general doesn't care about us. We aren't the customers--we're the product.

I agree. I'm amazed out how lefties embrace the concept of the "noble savage." There's nothing noble about savagery. Humanity advances only through civilization.

I take Deepak Chopra about as seriously as I take Richard Bach. Or Nancy Pelosi.

Pack the plane with Dems, tie the Greenies to the wings. If they get hurt, no problem. Venezuela has this outstanding healthcare package, so I've heard.

They could go to Venezuela. I hear lefties love that Hugo fella.

Thank God for Big Hollywood. An oasis in a desert of leftist fascism.
