"Please, recognize the junk you are receiving, whether in emails and internet talk boards (anonymous), or in the airwaves (dominated by conservative infrastructure), as the manipulative misinformation and misdirection that it is."

All I could find wrong with that video in the 2 minutes was:

1.  The government is not foreclosing on houses, it is private companies.

2. They are not kicking anyone out of "THEIR" houses.  By virtue of not paying, the house is not theirs anymore.  Hence the foreclosure.

3. The government is not devaluating houses.  The market is.  Should the government be forcing people to pay more for a house to maintain housing prices?

4.  When housing prices were going up, the complaint was common people could not afford a house.  Now prices are falling, and you complain about that.

5. The government is not shipping jobs over seas.

6. "Jobs" are not moving over seas in droves. Japan, Germany, Canada, France and other countries complain that their jobs are being stolen by Americans.  In fact, we have "in-sourced" more foreign jobs than we have outsourced.  Do we really want to stop the practice and lay off all the Toyota, Nissan, & Honda workers (just one industry) so they can have their jobs making plastic injection molds back?

7. The government is not making education unfordable, they subsidize it more now than ever before.  In fact, the first 12+ years of school is free.  In Tulsa County, the first 15 years of school are free (K-12, 3 years of TCC).  15 years of free education and heavily subsidized college isn't enough (students pay about 1/3 the cost at a public University)?

8. Anyone can get loans from the government to go to college at very reasonable rates.  When, in fact, a large number of the people that go to college shouldn't.  33% don't graduate.  Another 33% that do graduate don't ever use their degree.

So you can go to college if you want, but less people than currently do... should.

9. Getting health insurance is so easy 85% of the country has already done it.  Of the remaining 15% about 10% is covered by governmental health insurance.  Sounds like a good start.

Plus, the rise in health costs correlates strongly with government involvement in health care.  Assuming the government is the answer is a bit premature.  Not too mention the insurance industry is the most heavily regulated industry in the Untied States (more so than Nuclear power).

10. The government is not devaluating the dollar.

11. A devalutated dollar does not "make everything more expensive."  It makes imports more expensive.  It also encourages exports, which accounts for much of Tulsa's recent industrial boom.

Typical I suppose.  If you blame all your problems on the government, it is easy to demand the government take care of all your problems.  It's not your fault, don't worry, someone else will fix it!

Even if you buy that "its not my fault line of reasoning," usually, when things get screwed up, the best person to fix the problem is not the one you blame for screwing it up...

In other unrelated news, the dollar is at a 5 week high today...W must not be paying attention.

I love how all conspiracy nuts are the same.  In every theory W is simultaneously the dumbest yet shrewdest, machiavellian leader ever.  How the hell does that happen?

Yeah receipts are up 7% which means next quarter growth will be up significantly.

Good news for America, bad news for FOTD.  He will just have to be in his own personal recession.

If a women, known to be a slut, sticks her donkey out like that and you slap it - is it sexual harassment or just doing what your told?

I don't know, but every time I see that picture my brain melts a little bit more.
