Thanks Alice. I still find this story hard to believe. It's a sad commentary on our society for sure.

So are you a fan of Presidential candidates spending billions of dollars to get elected?

Ignorant means unknowledgeable, uneducated or even disrespectful or rude. As the author of this article I do not feel that I displayed any of those characteristics. You disagree with what I said in the article and that's fine. But calling someone ignorant because you disagree with them isn't making a case for your argument - it's simply highlighting your own lack of knowledge and conviction on the subject. That would make you the ignorant one.

You'll certainly get no argument from me. I think it's been obvious to pretty much everyone, Obama supporters included, that the media had a clear bias during this election and maintains that bias today. I expect Obama will get a lot of support from the media and a much longer "honeymoon" period than most Presidents do as well.

Well, I'm not sure where you're getting your info so I can't really speak to the whole "extra-solar planet" thing. I somehow find it hard to believe that anything like that, if known by members of Congress, would remain a secret for very long. It wouldn't make much sense for Biden to talk about it before they even got elected to office either. I think I'll take a wait and see approach to this one.

Well, I don't know if this fact will have much bearing on how well Emanuel is able to do the job for which he has been appointed. However, I do feel that his involvement in the Freddie Mac fiasco should be noted and should have been more important in the decision for him getting the job in the first place.
