“Another possibility? The parent companies could roll out new pay cable channels and simply channel all their new programming there, leaving the networks to either die on the vine or subsist on syndicated fare.
One thing that won't work is asking consumers to pay for advertiser -supported network content. Either you run ads like CBS or you pay for it like Showtime. Consumers won't directly pay to watch ads.”

“Re: Rove hitting on Evi Quaid:
Evi Quaid directed a movie called The Debtors in 1999. Whether they used it or not, she filmed a scene set in a nightclub in which a gathering of rich people in tuxedos & evening gowns get sprayed with what I think was actually milk from a plastic phallus during a Rammstein performance.
Kinda fits, ya know? Karl and Evi are both class acts.”

“While there have indeed been excesses in the financial system, I disagree.
Warren Buffett, for example, made his fortune by wisely allocating capital and maintaining a sterling reputation. Bill Gates, who we all love to hate, added tremendous efficiency to the economies of the world. Remember trying to write a paper on a typewriter or chart data by hand? Steve Jobs brought us the IPhone, essentially a hand-held computer that enables people to make informed decisions on the fly.
In America, the tax system favors debt over equity, leading to highly levered (geared) and risky companies and highly paid executives. The incentives baked into our economic system and "pay without performance" needs to be reformed.”

The robber barons, like Mr. Bloomers, are out to loot as much as they can. Moronic Bush gave them the green light for 8 yrs and they're still in a feeding frenzy. Those heartless monsters want it all and they want it now. The greed is going to trigger a social revolution because these bastards will destroy America.”

“The GOP stretched out the process in the Senate considerably and aligned themselves with conservative Democrats in the House to get onerous anti-choice provisions into the House version. They did a pretty good job remaining a unified Party of No, forcing the 58 Dems and two independents caucusing with them to fight amongst themselves before finally coming up with something they all could swallow, more or less.
We won't really know whether their Party of No strategy works with the voters this coming November, but they've certainly done their best to blatantly represent corporate interests over the interests of average Americans. I suspect, at a minimum, this will keep their coffers from going dry.”

“Good point.
It is fair to point out, though, that the Dems did themselves no favors by placing former Goldman-Sachs higher-ups in the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve as the evidence mounts that that particular firm took pretty much everyone for a ride before having their guys in both the Bush/Cheney and Obama administrations bail out them and some of their victims.”

“Memo to McConnell -
If you're going to run against recently-passed legislation, you're going to have to not only make the argument against what the Dems did, but spell out in some detail what you'd do differently.
We certainly didn't see that from your party in 2009. We certainly didn't see your party address the growing crisis through the Bush/Cheney years.
You have a serious credibility problem, so you have your work cut out for you.”
