Is it punishment enough that Andrea Mitchell and Alan Greenspan are married to each other.

It’s pretty obvious how willing Greenspan was to help with all of this. He came in at the beginning to push the notion that catastrophe was upon us and now he has been trotted out again to tell us that Barky’s programs really are working.

As they say, who ya gonna believe.....

Meanwhile over on ABC, Michele Malkin is kicking all four of their rat butts with the normal fair and balanced 4:1 odds she faces on DBM.

First they redistribute wealth and now health,says Michele.

They don't know what to do with Michele since she documents stuff so Stephy keeps cutting her off. She is only there so some of us will watch his pathetic show.

I would bet you are right. The woman from Atlanta was seething,,it was actually uncomfortable to watch it. It disturbed me. But Michelle is smart and needs to move into this league as others do. I think she can.

Summers is now into talking about paint chips falling off school walls.

My sister used to take lines like that at face value. Twelve years ago, she visited us from Oakland CA just before school started. We had just moved to Irving TX, and we went to visit the new school. Her jaw dropped as she saw the facilities, and it really hit the floor when I told her the average cost per student (at that time) was less than $7K.

It was too late to save my nephew, who was already in junior high in the Oakland school system. At least my sister moved out of Oakland before my niece reached 4th grade.

Russert may have been a lib, but at least he'd ask a decent followup question from time to time. David Gregory wouldn't know a good followup question if it hit him in the arse.

Greenspan is pumping for a value added tax.

I taught in Oakland for a bit. Getting out was the only answer. My oldest daughter was in school in Berkeley. The younger three never saw the inside of a public school.

And it has only gotten worse.

Wow, I didn’t realize how great this economy was until I listened to Steffie’s show.

Michelle is right...extend jobless benefits and you extend joblessness.

I ask again, what in the world is wrong with Cynthia Tucker’s face?

That visit sure lit a fire under her...LOL! The school district said they didn't have enough money for desks, so they handed out clipboards for the kids to write on.

I was furious and told her that you could buy some decent folding tables for $30-40 each, as a short term solution.

I wish I was there when she recounted the visit to Texas. When a comment was made regarding the "whitebread" population, she said "BS!!!, there's 50+ different languages spoken at that school, but they all work together for the benefit of their kids."

Might as well just call it Cash for GE and make it a little more clear.

Think I'll send a note to my Congressman, asking for a "Cash for Night Hides Not" program. I'll promise that I'll put that money to work immediately...my wife has a few ambitious plans for that extra cash.

And her projects are really "shovel ready." LOL!
