THE TRUST FACTOR

One of the reasons newspapers and TV news are suffering is due to stories they offer that cannot be trusted, and instead are more representative of a political agenda being advanced.  Specifically, the AP story of protesters demonstrating in front of AIG executives' homes, and not one word who these protesters were. I saw the same protesters on TV news, and they were clearly identified by their red shirts with a big Acorn symbol, somewhat reminiscent of the Nazi Brownshirts during the thirties. Not that I am supportive of AIG's role in this current debacle, but ACORN is no angel either. They had a big role in this mess, too, with their intimidating Stormtrooper tactics threatening bankers at their homes, that if they didn't approve the culprit sub-prime loans, they would then visit violence upon them. That should have been the real story, not that they were some innocent victims. Remember, this is the same ACORN that got caught stuffing ballot boxes in recent elections and now wants to help conduct the 2010 census, the latter which controls congressional districts and funding for them.  It is because of ACORN, the genesis of this mess, that seniors now are barely getting by with interest on their meager savings.

IF THEIR LIPS ARE MOVING...
Re: Angelo Codevilla's Osama Bin Elvis :

Angelo Codevilla's article on bin Laden was terrific. May I add my own reason to believe why he is long since dead: Because his friends say he is alive.
