1. Good analogy.

I wish I had time to watch it all, but I am at work. I will come back. But Paulson really wants more candy to solve the problem. That is certain.

3. If I have to be home on Halloween I usually turn of the lights and hide.

All those crazed six year olds demanding candy. It's to much.

4. Maddow is great and Reich ... well. Reich is incredible

I have found myself sitting in my car in the parking ramp - late for work - because I am listening to Reich in a story of NPR more than once.

Have watched it several times just to hear the phrasing for "You're going to need more candy." LOL.

6. No more candy. Period! Monetary Reform NOW!

this is a stupid debate,. it should not be about how to regulate this bailout,. there should be NO BAIL OUT !
What we need is Monetary Reform,. to fundamentally change the way money is created, handled, and regulated. The current system is obviously a stacked table, a rigged game,. for the wealthy power elite.., and of course it is, they are the people who created it! We must demand that this sick and broken system is dismantled and replaced by a system that is based on basic justice and fairness,. not greed and wealth funneled to the few at the expense of the many and the very health of the planet that gives us life.

...especially being back to back with KO, which means no TV for the kids for two hours a night.

My little ones are going as Bernanke, Paulson*, and Bush. They'll knock on the door, take the candy bowl, give it all to their friends, and tell the others that they can't ask any questions about where the candy is going. Does that fit the Hallowe'en metaphor?

8. Olbermann's protege rocks

Love Rachel Maddow! She's just as incisive as Keith, as well as nicer and prettier (even with the de rigeur lesbo haircut).
