3. That Tobin guy --
the one with all the chins & the haircut from 1978 -- Do they have the volume on his mic turned up, or is he that much in love with the sound of his voice that he can't help screaming?

Good job, btw.

4. I applaud you for agreeing to show up

That you try to talk to these (what do you call ethnic-hating slobs?) idiots is even more amazing. I am fed up hearing these bigots calling Sotomayor a racist. When was Hispanic declared a 'race'? I missed that in LBN, I guess.

8. Good job, but I have a few suggestions
Your point about the baseball decision was great, but you needed to return more to your thesis and explicitly state (and contradict the main bloviator), that this illustrates she is a fair judge who makes her decisions based on the law. And that this decision is representative of her other decisions. Having empathy does not preclude interpreting law in a rigorous way, it really implies having a better sense of the consequences of decisions (in understanding how decisions affect all of the people involved). And understanding the consequences is critical in deciding whether a law is consistent with constitutional and legal principles.

10. i don't mean to be crude...
but how much do you make off a gig like that?

I wouldn't do it for less than $5,000 i don't think. Too close to too much slime. And an awful lot of pressure. Those people you have to deal with at FOx are the worst of the worst!

Like everyone else i applaud you. I hope it's worth it for you. I am too easily agitated to cope with that type of engagement.... i'm a pacifist, but i'd have trouble keeping my cool.

:shrug:

Good luck to you!


:)

11. Thanks for doing this, but...
I just can't watch more than about a minute of those flaming assholes. It's too much.

14. That anti-union guy was a hoot
"Oh, oh, they artifically raise salaries!"

Says the guy making seven figures or more as a talking-head.


How much did Walter Cronkite make in 2009 dollars? I bet it was a tenth of what that guy's making.




And those wages drive demand, which results in ECONOMIC ACTIVITY as the masses buy tangible goods!


Idiot. Union membership is at it's lowest in DECADES... and the economy sucks. Coincidence? I think not!
