In case you missed it, this week saw the launch of HuffPost Hill, our afternoon email newsletter covering the Washington political scene -- from what's happening on the Hill and who's in and who's out at the White House to the latest DC news and buzz. It's a new media spin on the old afternoon newspaper -- both a breezy and useful daily recap and a timely look at what's ahead -- made to be read on your handheld. You can sign up here. And if you, like the rest of the world, are getting lost in the complexity and opacity of the financial reform debate, let our new video editor Ben Craw be your guide through the myriad metaphors the media have used to explain things -- starting with the Goldman Sachs fraud case. And here's a link to his earlier video mashups.

We repealed all the reforms passed after the great depression and our economy crashed, but Republicans are slow to see the need for regulation.
Ronald Reagan once said "Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem".
Ronnie and the Republicans are wrong.
their collaboration in off-centering the wheel is just as heinous as the madoff ponzi scheme and way more serious than martha telling a fib for which she did time
This machine to which you refer is precisely the same as described by Benito Mussolini. It's called "Fascism" and is a rich mix of government, religion and corporations, The government and the corporations combine to form a soulless monster which hooks up with Big Religion to supply it with some Holy cover story. Hitler himself was a fan of the Vatican, and of course Mussolini was Catholic. Corporations, like governments, exist in a near living state. They feed on people, grow bigger while eating smaller corporations and eventually die and decompose. The thing I believe is most important about this is that when things closely mimic life they tend to act like life and yes, even to the point of self protection. This is why dismantling our Fascist society will be a delicate operation. Fox will scream like a wounded rabbit if we require them to be accurate in their news.

Huffington Post recently landed in the top 10 news sites.
http://www.businessinsider.com/how-the-huffington-posts-traffic-is-killing-rival-news-sites-2010-4
In my world, Huffington Post is #1!
In your posted article they didn't report about how many people are getting to various sites through places like HuffPost. The title of the business insider article was fairly provocative (a technique they borrowed from HuffPost?) suggesting that this site is sucking the oxygen from other sites. (The killing in this case is how it is beating them in traffic coming from unique visitors but the sub-message was that it was destroying them somehow. One needed to read the article to get their intended meaning in the headline.)
Thanks for the link. I'm keeping an eye on the editorial decisions this site makes as it becomes more of a money maker. No doubt HuffPost has it all.
Although for what, I don't know.
This one is 87% advertising.
And all the news in it I read online days ago.
upset with their only hope the voters will punish them by siding with their own enemies ---
how they figure that will put them in a winning position is beyond me.
Back in In 1981 Reagan & pal Don Regan- passed deregulation that planted seeds to global meltdown - took away safe guards we had in place to prevent this massive ABUSE OF POWER .- They allowed Banks Wall St - much more to become more & more unethical.
Fraud was made legal by deregulation- that's a fact .
Bush Cheney Greenspan Sommers- Rubin all kept it the party going and then some
W 's 2 long wars- 2 huge tax cuts- lied into Iraq- killing- maiming 1000's-
massive war profiteering by Bush OIL pals & Cheney- Halliburton prolonged both wars.
NOTHING WAS PAID FOR Just dumped into Obama's lap How clever and how cowardly of the GOP ' leaders' Now we have right wing courts trying to finish us off with laws that give even more power to the power brokers who run the US -even our lives.
Thanks you for providing a decoding point for the planned obfuscation presented as "News and Information" by MSM.
Very helpful.
"We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace...................business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.
They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob."
FDR was 1 tough guy he relished a good fight If Mc Cain / Palen had won -
just imagine where we'd be now !!!!! Horrible thought
Obama 15 months VS Reagan deregulation 1981 Bush 1 & 2 2008 global meltdown
Passge of the proposed Senate bill will be an unmitigated disaster for democracy, the economy, and the very future of the US:
