..blah….blah….blah”

Yep, John W. Those who don’t think things are quite right are ‘crazy’ now. Ergo the treatment centers. Thanks for doing your part.

You (and his campaign, and Karl Rove and others) rode that unjustified confidence all the way to a crushing defeat. You guys screwed yourselves.

Our mistake was in assuming honest elections; not hundreds of precincts in swing states being stolen.

“market cheerleaders”

That’s a bad thing? I guess it is in this brave new world. Marx and Lenin would be smiling at how marvelously this has all unfolded.
–Comment by Suzie

It can definitely be a bad thing if the passion underlying the practice obscures the realities of the market’s strengths and weaknesses.

Hell, just look at what happened in the last presidential election, when YOU and many other RWer political cheerleaders were supremely confident of a Romney victory. You (and his campaign, and Karl Rove and others) rode that unjustified confidence all the way to a crushing defeat. You guys screwed yourselves.

“I am not an authoritarian! I am passionate, opinionated and brutally honest, plus I love to argue. I can see that bothers you, but you are wrong about me being “like Suzie” and you are wrong to call me an authoritarian.”

I doesn’t bother me, but why don’t you propose some laws or regulations, just in case, to make sure it doesn’t.

Is it just a matter of time before capitalists, businessmen and other “prosperity cheerleaders” are consigned to the reprogramming centers for ‘treatment”?

CNBC consists of a bunch of screeching market cheerleaders who discuss the DOW with the reverence usually reserved for religious figures. If you need to know how myopic CNBC is, check Jon Stewart’s evisceration of Jim Kramer, who was screaming that Bear Sterns was a buy days before it went belly up. I’d take Candy Crowley over the pudgy yelling suits on CNBC all day long.

It does not matter how many times you say it John Wilburn, I am not an authoritarian! I am passionate, opinionated and brutally honest, plus I love to argue. I can see that bothers you, but you are wrong about me being “like Suzie” and you are wrong to call me an authoritarian.

More Mark J columns, please!

This guest post stuff is similar to pro wrestling in a way: If the fans cheer you, you’re doing well. If the fans boo you, you’re doing well. If the fans do neither, you suck. Now that Mark J is making some bloggers unhappy, he is more interesting (and a good contrast to Dan too!).

I think then it would be good to start
doing man in the street interviews from
in front of Roanoke Wiener Stand to give it
the full carnival feel,,and give those
that arent given the high horse a chance to express their
views. Try to grab the ones without I-pads or
puffy opinions of themselves.
