What-ism?
Is that like COMMONISM???!!! Er ISLAMIOFASCISISM!!!??? Er OBAMANISM?!?!?!
Well, then, Ah'm AGIN it!Todays corporatista talking heads wouldn't know journalism if Edward R. Murrow bit them in the ass.
Here's some real news: Big AWl is OUT! No more subsidies or tax breaks. They'll be drinkin' their milkshake in the renewables industry.
We hope.
We'll see.

Oh, I missed that one. Great catch Cosa and absolutely right. It will hurt, but it's exactly what needs to happen.

Here's another: This is the foulest thing I've seen out of Congress in, well, forever, and that's a LOT of foul! Bluedog Senator has single-payer advocate doctors arrested, hears only his own corporate campaign contributors at an "open public round table" on national health care.
This is it: If we're ever going to get universal single-payer health care, it's right now. Check the links provided to email or telephone your Senator, or that rat bastard Baucus. We need a huge wave of popular revulsion to stop this historic sell-out. Please help, Impoliticians!
Thanks, Ms. Libby! Stay healthy, yawl!

Another great catch Cosa. I'll get on it for sure.
