Olbermann (countdown) showing that recovery might be a mirage.

[LittleApple81]

8:14 p.m. interesting.
Talking about the middle-class squeeze.

1. Olbermann: The only good thing about MSNBC

rest of the network is a joke

13. You're Right About Olbermann

Though I don't agree with Olbermann all the time, I have a little anecdote about the guy. A couple years back, the actor's union was on strike (that's me) and he made a point on air in our defense. Since this was hardly a significant labor issue to most people, I e-mailed him to thank him. He e-mailed me back personally with some very kind words. A class act all the way. Just thought I'd share...

2. The commission did not find evidence of Saudi support for AlQaida?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
How hard did they look? Hasn't Sibel Edmonds been trying her hardest to tell them????

3. Talking about Cuomo representing him to change rating for Farenheit 9/11.

Cuomo has seen three times.
Musto from Village Voice: young people should be forced to see the movie so that they CAN SEE THE REALITY OF WAR!!! not the jingoist image that is fed to them.

4. According to Musto "The Passion" deserved to be condemned more for

bloody, manufactured violence than Farenheit 9/11.

5. Moore said that even if the "liberal choir" were the majority for

the opening of the movie, it was nice to re-energize them with the movie. He commented that even O'Reilley was there (I know O'Reilley said he left in the middle of the movie... )

6. Janet Jackson said she had been used by conservative forces to

remove attention from what was going on in the world, and Olbermann made fun of that statement.
SORRY OLBERMANN, I agree with her.

7. Evidently that scene where * is reading My Pet Goat...

really impresses!

[LittleApple81]

8. I haven't seen Farenheit 9/11 but I have seen Symbolman and I

doubt Moore's can be more impressive than Symbolman's.... I remember I cried watching it. It had "Lacrimosa" as background music and a split screen of Bush and the WTC attack... powerful and moving.

11. Thanks for reminding me about that...

I read about that today and I wanted to check it out after I got home from work.

12. Yesterday there was a report that...

....somewhere around 65% of the "benefit" from the "recovery" was felt at the top levels of corporate America, while the middle class received approximately 5%...

I don't remember the source...might have been Lou Dobbs. The best source of validation remains the working class itself.
