The Resentment Strategy By PAUL KRUGMAN Published: September 4, 2008 THE NEW YORK TIMES Can the super-rich former governor of Massachusetts — the son of a Fortune 500 C.E.O. who made a vast fortune in the leveraged-buyout business — really keep a straight face while denouncing...

I don't know whether McCain is a hero or not - that's a legitimate question for debate. But I would never willingly allow anyone to denigrate him on a personal basis, as I believe very few of us can relate to the terrible experience he went through as a POW in Vietnam. Having said that, I...

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen such low ratings for a show. 'Matlock' on Sundays does better than that.

Those people are disrespectful and I'm glad they were tossed. Sneaking in to the GOP's private convention was lowly, too. I don't remember a single incident like that when Obama spoke. They're the fringe, though. I had a friend in England tell me that what we're not seeing here, and...

McCain really lacks charisma, and I almost fell asleep 5 minutes into his speech. Not that it matters. I don't think these speeches have any predictive value as to the outcomes of elections. Most people have already made up their minds. They're fighting over maybe 3% at most of the...

All questions about Cramer's ability or competency (or lack thereof) have been resolved absolutely in my own mind. My only legitimate bemusement centers around his ability, or the decision of CNBC, to keep his show on as long as they have. I wonder what his ratings are now versus, say...

I didn't dislike McCain until he took Lieberman under his wing. Then, tonight, there's a theme of 'Peace through Leadership' at their convention (signs and placards all over). Lieberman is there to make sure that the war machine rolls on, on new fronts. Republicans have strayed too far...

We can all agree on Joplin. :cool:

There's a difference between praying for what you need, and what you want. Kind of like there's no atheist in foxholes. Who could begrudge someone praying to live when they've been diagnosed with cancer? But to pray for a pipeline? That's tacky and I don't think G_d likes such antics.

I heard Abe Lincoln showed up by satelite link, too.

You shouldn't put words in my mouth. Praying that a gas pipeline, formally, gets installed in Alaska seems a little abusive of G_d to me. Hey G_d, buy me a shiny new BMW M3.

Landis - you da' man. Seriously. I agree with you. The fact that I agree with you doesn't make you the man. The fact that you express such rational, coherent and logical thoughts in such an efficient way does... I, too, have been accused of being a 'libbie,' 'hippie,' and all sorts...

Pabst, there's a rumor in my family that I'm part Druish. I hope you don't hate my kind. :(

Palin seems like a true fruitcake. She must be bummed that Gustav missed.

Da- ammmmn.

I thought they revised the EULA? How do you change it so URLs aren't farmed?

Why? They opposed the war unless I'm mistaken. I say let those who support the war fight the war. Forget a draft. Send all the biggest proponents of the Iraq War to fight it. If they did that, I'd have to go to Afghanistan, as I support that war.

Agreed 100%. The scheduling and lack of contingeny planning is terrible.

Thanks.
