3. Yes, F*K the haters, but I sure wish they'd something about ...
the 24/7 HATE radio.
I'm just sick of it.
EVERY SINGLE TALK RADIO STATION IN WASHINGTON DC IS HATE, HATE, HATE.
WMAL cut George Noory's show in 1/2 and replaced it with more "HATE THE PRESIDENT" radio.
For G*d's SAKE! Will someone DO SOMETHING!
I feel like I'm living in Nazi-era Germany, and there's NOTHING TO LISTEN TO BUT HITLER!

4. You have a very good point
How can truth survive when grand lies are emphasized as the truth?

5. Bullshit. Tune into WAMU or WPFW.
What are you doing about the problem -- why rely on "someone"?

6. There aren't too many people listening to radio
Worry more about the Pentagon cronies who don't plan to give up those contracts.

7. Perhaps Krugman is right.
"I won't try for fake evenhandedness here: most of the venom I see is coming from supporters of Mr. Obama, who want their hero or nobody," Krugman writes. "I'm not the first to point out that the Obama campaign seems dangerously close to becoming a cult of personality. We've already had that from the Bush administration -- remember Operation Flight Suit? We really don't want to go there again."

10. Krugman is not the only Nobel Laurrette to show concern.
Even Stiglitz shows concern on how the Obama administration and the Geithner Plan will rob the American people, but I guess Stiglitz is just another hater and pissant since Obama can do no wrong.

"With the The U.S. government plan to rid banks of toxic assets will rob American taxpayers by exposing them to too much risk and is unlikely to work as long as the economy remains weak, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz said on Tuesday.

"The Geithner plan is very badly flawed," Stiglitz told Reuters in an interview during a Credit Suisse Asian Investment Conference in
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's plan to wipe up to US$1 trillion in bad debt off banks' balance sheets, unveiled on Monday, offered "perverse incentives", Stiglitz said.

The U.S. government is basically using the taxpayer to guarantee against downside risk on the value of these assets, while giving the upside, or potential profits, to private investors, he said.

"Quite frankly, this amounts to robbery of the American people. I don't think it's going to work because I think there'll be a lot of anger about putting the losses so much on the shoulder of the American taxpayer." "
