5. Thanks, Cenk!
I think I'm beginning to understand. That analogy was great.

6. Absent in the MSM - Great Analogy...
This highlights the disgusting behavior of the MSM and our representatives. Cenk, on his own, using his own resources, FINALLY delivers a cogent explanation of the fundamentals of this mess while the MSM sits on its thumbs.

Great as usual Cenk.

Nice anology. When put into that context even the most uninterested person can starts to get it.

10. Nicely explained.
Just think if all the news sources laid it out like that.

Particularly, if they all explained that that was going to happen under the new rules be-fucking-fore those rules went into effect...

Think there would have been some public resistance?

11. I kept waiting for Jack Black to comment.
Gotta read the headlines a little more closely!

12. same here. i do disagree w/ cenk about who knew what when....
almost w/o exception the people who did this knew EXACTLY what they were doing, and knew EXACTLY what would soon happen. they were far too smart not to know. however, these guys were just greedy - like us all - so they took advantage of the new rules, just like we all would. the crooks here are the bushies who changed the rules. they also were too smart not to know.
now, who do you suppose they knew would have to pay for all of this? that's right, folks. you and i get fucked again!
this is beginning to hurt my asshole.
