jeffcrosley And the cast of Jersey Shore rang the opening bell of the NYSE . . . why?

@chadlang Based on our recent fiasco, I'd say that yes, more regulation is in order. The whole deregulation thing clearly jumped the shark.
July 26, 2010 at 3:49pm
@chadlang Well, no, "more regulation" isn't inherently better, nor is less. It's contextual, much like you can't stand for "lower taxes".
July 26, 2010 at 3:49pm
@chadlang More specifically, underregulated private banks funded rampant speculation and overprinted currency. Sound familiar?
July 26, 2010 at 1:57pm
@chadlang Total privatization lead to capital spread so thin that banks couldn't back deposits. People withdrew their money, economy tanked.
July 26, 2010 at 1:55pm
@chadlang You're forgetting that part about how Jackson dismantling the Bank lead to an economic catastrophe.

I like how NYT's Cathy Horyn isn't even trying to go easy on the contempt in her profile of Snooki: http://ht.ly/2gA1C

Just watched "In the Loop". It's like "The Office," but with international politics. Loved it.

Why is Sarah Palin going camping with Kate Gosselin? Seriously, why? Is that what Real Americans (tm) do? #confused

@rachelmaddow is on fire with this analysis of the Sherrod fiasco in the context of "be afraid of black people" politics: http://ht.ly/2fkZD

Unbelievable: Fox's Shep Smith the only one not to air original @andrewbreitbart footage. http://ht.ly/2eQz5

Let me get this straight: Conservatives nailed Dan Rather's scalp to the wall, but @andrewbreitbart goes untouched? How is this different?
July 21, 2010 at 4:15pm
Dems are planning on extending the middle class parts of the Bush tax cuts while letting the top two brackets expire. Shrewd. Good luck, Rs.

Look, @andrewbreitbart, I get how this usually works, but you really owe Sherrod an apology on this one.
