1. Liberty, Heritage, Cato...WTF?

It seems the more the name of a think tank contains words like "Institute" and "Liberty" and "Heritage," the less likely it is to be anything I will see as constructive coming from their "hallowed halls." Beltway Bubble thinking is created at these places; there is no reason to suspect they will ever consider the plight of the "normal" person. (Unless, of course, that "person" is a corporation...)

2. Cenk, don't these pukes

get enough air time? The guy lied repeatedly and you did a piss poor job of challenging him on it. Two thumbs down, buddy. Very disappointed.

3. Some say that the people at the town hall meetings were screaming about socialism and how they

didn't want their money used to help others. That they were an embarrassment to the whole country. Not me and Andrew Langer, though. We remember calm people begging the left to join them, and trying to figure out the best course for the nation. (Although we might have been high.)

That said, Andrew Langer is a thousand time the man that Mark Williams is.
