Syrinx's JournalWhy all the profanity on Current TV?
I cuss all the time. Online, and in real life. So I really don't have a moral objection to it.
But the "goddamns" on Countdown and The Young Turks seem like a lame, gratuitous reach for "street-cred." And I'm thinking it's only going to turn off more people than it's going to impress.
Keith and Cenk seem to think saying "goddamn" somehow adds emphasis to their comments. I'd say a little goes a long way, but they've taken to speaking like that nearly every night. It's starting to sound very sophomoric and unprofessional.
I enjoyed it when Olbermann told the truth and called Ann Coulter an "asshole." But it seemed hypocritical when another person was bleeped on the same show when saying someone was "full of shit."
"Asshole" is okay, but "shit" is over the line? 
I hope and trust that Jennifer Granholm will be able to express suitable outrage without resorting to gratuitous profanities. I think she's more mature than that.
Top marginal income tax rate should be fifty percent
I'm not sure at what income level that it should kick in.
But people making tens and hundreds and thousands of millions of dollars a year are clearly being supported by "the folks."
It's only fair.
If the folks have no money, who is going to buy their cars and computers and movies and video games?
The right-wing idiots want to concentrate all the wealth into the hands of a few.
What happens when the wealth becomes totally concentrated?
A total collapse of the "system," because nobody has any money to spend.
That's what we're heading toward.
The consumers will have all the money. But the producers will be deprived, and they will wither and die.
And the consumers will be left with their pile of gold.
In an ending suitable for The Twilight Zone, they will realize that Gold isn't really good for much of anything practical.
They will look at their bars of gold and wordlessly weep.
Tax the rich. Tax the rich. That's where the money is, stupid.
When is Tom Delay going to jail?
If I recall correctly, he was sentenced to three years in prison.
When is his prison term going to begin?
