  • Re: Wake Up: Paulson Was a Stick Up Man

    Step 11) We grab our pitchforks, light our torches, march on Washington and demand some damn regulation be restored to this broken system! Who's with me?

  • When did Fox buy Slate?

    I'll say it right up front: Michael Moore is my hero. This guy clearly loves his country, and coming from Flint, Michigan, knows first hand that it has deep problems to fix. His movies aren't Hollywood slick. They can be disjointed and confusing at times, but always give you plenty to think about. I find his willingness to charge headlong into the ...

Their overtesting, over-doping, unnecessary procedures and frivolous operations are the equivalent for the health care system of what the bankers and brokers with their highly leveraged debt, from subprimes to ...

  • Cramer vs Jon Stewart

    Cramer seems to have forgotten that he did have a rant in, I believe, August of 2007 about the unfolding subprime crisis, and that people should ''look out the window'' and see what was going on. Stewart didn't play that clip. He brought down Crossfire, and now he's targeting CNBC. He got extra irritated, in my opinion, when Rick Santelli didn't ...
