I hope hope hope that this new rising Palin-populism will connect to Fannie & Freddie. Please search [ fannie freddie scandal ] and just take a look at all that has transpired under the popular radar. Look at ”wall” person & 911 commish jamie Gorelick re F & F. Look at the $20mm severance packages that’ve accompanied the departures of the last few scandal-fired big chiefs.

Heck, just read this from September 2004. That’s 2004, boys & girls. Now four years later we’re getting blindsided by a “financial accident”? I ain’t lecturing –i ignored all this too –figuring somebody somewhere MUST be paying attention & will surely do the right thing, y’know, in time.

“Fractional banking” is a great engine of growth but it depends on something fundamental that has somehow gone missing. The folk know it, too –look at 14% congressional approval polls. Enter Sarah Palin (today’s polls are showing the front edge of what may a breakout for McCain/Palin).

I think the press had us focused on Martha Stewart when the WaPo tried to ring the F&F alarm bell. You, know, Martha the arch criminal. Feh.

Benj, kudos your dedication to the communicating of the “meaning” of Obama. You’re on to something re populist revoulution –looks like it’s building on the right, tho. C’mon over, man. We’ll covert Obama soon enough –and he’ll be a force, just as you say. But let’s get him turned around facing in the right direction first. I mean, jeez, man, how much proof do you need that Big Government by its very nature will always be a bigger problem that any problem it can solve.
