I told them that I really really wanted to work for the President and didn't know all that much about the Constitution. They said I could have the job as long as I agreed before this morning's Washington Post came out - I guess maybe they were going to post an announcement? <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm now the assistant deputy associate attorney general for blog commentary.

"Michael" like all too many Bush-haters wasn't able to maintain his composure at all during any of his rants. <BR/><BR/>Michael reveals his personality (and psychology) from the errors in his texts. One can visualize the spittle being discharged from 'Michael's' mouth in a Tourette's-like frenzy the more he painfully emitted his anger over Bush. <BR/><BR/>It reminded me of Michelle Obama's Princeton thesis on the need for Black Separatism in which she made a number of errors (which were allowed to stand in final print) in her conclusions. Just as with Michael, you can viscerally feel the emotional conflict raging within Michelle from her typo's as she describes her internal conflict.

That's why I was working until 3 a.m. last night, because people who don't deliver don't pay the mortgage. <BR/><BR/>I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how capitalists economies work though. The "bottom" four quintiles can't all expect to become part of the top, that's statistically impossible. A functioning liberal capitalist economy has by nature a pyramid-shaped income distribution, it's just a question of how much misery on the bottom one is willing to tolerate. In your case, apparently the answer is "a lot," as long as you get yours. It's a perfectly legitimate position to take, but don't expect a round of applause for it ; )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11250715.post-64479125058560640052008-07-24T15:58:00.000-04:002008-07-24T15:58:00.000-04:00Obama Needs Europe to Restrain Its Enthusiasm: Mar...Obama Needs Europe to Restrain Its Enthusiasm: Margaret Carlson <BR/><BR/>Commentary by Margaret Carlson<BR/><BR/>July 24 (Bloomberg) -- This is the first election in memory when a small crowd is better than a large one, a passionate crowd inferior to a bored one, where drawing a million people in Berlin is less likely to be compared with Ronald Reagan or John F.
