One tiny ray of light: John Stossel on ABC’s 20/20 tonight had an entire show that was basically a great takedown of socialism / big government. He had Walter Williams and others on, extensively, making great points. Then Stossel would documenting them with real life examples and situations, such as the miserable gov’t rebuilding effort in New Orleans (compared to volunteer efforts.) Rarely (since Reagan?) have I seen a presentation that would “get through” to the average voter so well, on the subject of citizen power vs. government power. If that show could could be shown to every voter, a good conservative could win easily.

The video is on the 20/20 website for $30 (ouch).

John Stossel is the best journalist on abc.

Na, Americans are idiots.

Notice the black guys and the movie stars in N.O.interviewed complaining about big government?

They still vote overwhelmingly for Democrats.

Stossel is one of the good guys in the media. I believe he is a Libertarian.

[So Circumstanced]

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but did you notice that much of the terrific piece had a real noticeable delay between speaker’s voices and the video images?

(My guess is that Gibson was behind the scenes in the ABC control room, trying to jam the signal.) -sarc.
