I know what a derivative is Wilkow!!!!!!!
I have to admit that I listen to Andrew Wilkow. I have even called and been hung up on by his producer and the man himself.
For those who have no idea who Wilkow is just take Hannity and Glenn Beck and add a health dose of Savage. Give the guy a New Yawk accent and you have the man known as Andrew Wilkow.
Today, as I got my wife and I lunch, I heard him say that liberals don't know what a derivative is but if Obama tells us to not like it we join the herd and scream about derivatives. This has to be the most ridiculous thing this guy has said in weeks.
A derivative is basically a bet on what the price of a stock or commodity will be in a predetermined set of time. The Bear Stearns and Shittybanks of the world used these bets to hedge their own trades and made millions when others, like all of us, got screwed. Derivatives are nothing but bets, like any good gambling addict knows. There are people out there that bet on what the half time score of basketball games will be that are more ethical than these guys on Wall Street that screwed the rest of the country.
It maybe crazy but I have a thought about why this and other bad practices where the norm from 2002 onward. Yes, it has to do with the Grahmm-Leach-Bliley Act, but I think that some of this has to do with the human capital lost on 9/11.
I'm not saying that those who died in the WTC were perfect but I think that didn't have their heads this far up their own assess. Thanks again Bin Laden et al.
As for Wilkow he has a stupid slogan that is "We're Right, They're Wrong. End of Story".
We for this one:
"I'M RIGHT, YOU'RE WRONG. AND THAT'S THE END OF THE STORY, ID10T!"

Email or call your Senators and Joe LIEberman today!
I would like to encourage everyone to email each of your Senators and Joe Lieberman and ask that they not block a vote on Health Care.
If you need a template please use the following:
Dear Sen. _______,
My name is ______________. I would like to ask that you not block an up or down vote on the purposed Senate Health Care Bill.
When the Republicans wanted Bush's tax cuts the Democrats did not use stall tactics or filibusters to stop thier passage. Please allow the Democrats the same courtesy and not block a vote.
I understand that you may not be able to support the passage of the legislation but that in no way affords you the right to stand in the way of this much needed change.
The people of our state and the rest of the country will thank you for your actions.
Thank You,

Let's try all terrorists in military courts!
For any one out there that believes that the Obama administration is wrong for trying 9/11 terrorists in a New York court I say "get over it."
With your logic Timothy McVeigh should have been tried in a military court, Eric Robert Rudolph should have been tried in a military court. Why not try anyone in the Army of God that commits an act of violence in a military court (Army is in their name!).
Rudy Gulliani said that trying terrorist in criminal Federal courts show the superiority of our system. Now he says that this is a mistake to try these guys in a Federal criminal court.
It seems as though many of the right wing pundits have seen "16 Blocks" or "Gauntlet" too many times. If they think that terrorist attacks are more likely to happen during the trials then at any other time, why didn't terrorist attack during the trial of the Blind Sheik?
The real reason they wouldn't try Tim McVeigh or ERR is they are white, Christians!
If we housed white Christian terrorists at Gitmo they would be asking why they could not be housed in normal prisons.
Face it, the right has it's own dictionary and "xenophobic" is no where in there.

Why are we seeing MJ's kids?
If you are like me you are tired of hearing all of the sordid details of M. Jackson's life.
Yes, like Dave Chappelle said, "he made Thriller man, Thriller."
But I don't need to know every detail about his relationship with his father, were Bubbles ended up, or how many narcotics he was taking.
The biggest victim in all of this are his "kids".
I just saw pictures of his children on Bill O'Rielly's "show", and I cannot remember another time when pictures of a dead celebraties minor children have appeared without blurring the picture.
Why do I need to know what "blanket" looks like?
The answer is I don't and neither does anyone else.
Leave the kids alone, they are having enough of a hard time with the death of their "father".
Thriller!

Say it ain't so Sarah, say it ain't so.........
I would like to thank Sarah Palin for doing the country a favor and commiting political suicide.
I have to say the newscasters and the comedians will be hard pressed to find a punching bag as easy to hit as good ole Sarah.
So long, fair well, God please don't make us meet again!
