... If you really want to get the full flavor of what a jerk this interviewer is being, watch this video without any sound. It almost looks like an SNL skit- the guy did everything but stick his tongue out and put his thumb to his nose while waving his fingers. ...

... A couple of comments. First, I can’t exactly disagree with anything he says. Well I mean I disagree with the gross generalizations as most people facing foreclosure don’t exactly live in mansions, but his overall indictment of establishment logic is something I can get behind.

Bra of the Week Happy blogiversary* to Cab Drollery, where I learned that Richard Lugar has called for normalizing relations with Cuba. (Remember when he used to be one of the wingnuttiest members of Congress? Those were the days, eh?) Blogger Interrupted has a few words of advice for Rick Santelli. The mayor of Lansing is shrill - and the Fox news actor smugly lies in response. Darrel Vandeveld had revenge in his heart when he went down to throw the book at the "detainees" at Gitmo, but he became the seventh ...
