“1) If you are stu.pid enough to miss work, stand out in cold weather (with your small children), and wait in line for hours just to have your book signed by an insecure twit, then I can't say that I have much sympathy for you.
2) I'm curious to see how quickly it takes SP to blame this on her "handlers".”

“Check out Politico. They noted that she didn't have her right hand friend on this tour, but that she is being "managed" by someone from Harper Collins for the tour. So, she will blame Harper Collins. Watch.”

Liberal Elitism Will Make Sarah Palin President - How Only Union Organizing Can Stop It
Commented Nov 13, 2009 at 18:57:55 in Politics
“I agree with this blogger's main point, which is that progressives make a mistake in counting out white working-class people. I have been party to the derogatory stereotypes that are thrown around in some "progressive circles" when people feel they are in a safe environment to mock poor whites. It makes me angry because I come from a working-class/working-poor Southern family and I don't believe that they deserve blanket scorn. In my relationships with family members I dissent from and question their viewpoints but with empathy and in a way that may actually bring them around.”

“olivo, the ones who mock the "poor whites' are the conservatives who used these "poor whites' to do their dirty bidding. The tebaggers are not representatives of "poor whites", they are representative of a fringe group of racist under-educated angry people who have had no exposure to anything but other angry under-educated people and billionaire under-educated party hacks like Limbaugh who promote hate, distrust, deception and a separatist mentality. They are not representatives of all "poor whites". I know many "poor whites" who do not fall into that category and who take the time to try to understand the issues that are at stake, and who are very "Liberal", Progressive and whatever other negative label the conservative movement has placed on anyone not following their rhetoric. The difference, among many, is that these "poor whites' don't feel that they are superior to the rest of people living in this country, and don't feel that they have been robbed of the "real" America by "them minorities, them foreigners". Herein lies a significant difference between most "poor whites' and the teabaggers.”

“I have seen a lot of liberal Progressives when they think no one is within filming distance actually say naughty things about those black african-americans that the liberals are always claiming they love so much. Now I don't mean right after they got mugged at the ATM, I mean just when they are comfortably sipping some nice merlot with their homies.”

“Cont....
That being said, the rest of this article is naive. Author buys into the whole discourse of progressive = latte sipping elitist and conservative = real American. This IS the poisoned pill in our political well. It's an ideology put forth by the right to divide and conquer the left. It is simply not true that the left is a movement of rich (or even middle-class) snooty people, limp-wristed and conciliatory. So, I think the thing to do is reject this binary and try to seek the common interests and experiences that bring different groups of people together into one movement.
As for the Democratic Party, I think we might all be able to guess why they want people to "calm down" and "wait it out", while they are more left (but just barely) than the Republicans, they all get their campaign funding from the same places. They are as much beholden to corporations as the Republicans. And this is why not only working-class issues, but also racial justice, feminist, GLBT, etc. issues, are continually put on the back burner.”

“what's a "family" neighborhood? as opposed to a "non-family" residential neighborhood. I think that by "family" neighborhood you mean middle- to upper-class and probably conservative, etc. Because there are a lot of families that live in other residential neighborhoods that struggle with endemic problems of poverty, homelessness, crime, etc. and I don't see you or anyone else up in arms about THAT phenomenon. You see, when you say "family" neighborhood you are indexing all of those things listed above and conjuring up a space where homeless people seem absurdly out of place (in your mind). But, why shouldn't these families also have to confront the negative human effects of our social and economic system?”

Overdraft Fees Require Customer Consent, Says The Federal Reserve
Commented Nov 12, 2009 at 17:26:29 in Business
“Thanks to all who called HBD out for being a j.erk. You beat me to it. Just to clarify...my point is that they shouldn't be able to change the terms of use on you without telling you. And the fact that they tried to play it off as a benefit to me just added insult to injury. I happened to be very broke and unemployed at the time, so yes it was hard to stretch my money. I had a hard time imagining how charging me an additional $25 for a $1 bagel was a service, when in the past the store just declined my card. I of course had to take responsibility for my negligence by paying the overdraft fees, but those fees should be recognized for what they are...a money-making scheme that offers absolutely no benefit to customers.”

“They can charge you if you try to use your card with no money...even if they give you money so I don't see this as helpful”
Overdraft Fees Require Customer Consent, Says The Federal Reserve
Commented Nov 12, 2009 at 16:22:40 in Business
“Thank god! When that first happened to me (because there was a time when stores just didn't accept my card if I had no money), I went to my bank to complain. They told me that it was courtesy for customers. I about lost it. They should have to ask permission before allowing you to overdraft on your check card. The idea of overdraft charges is just asinine, and so clearly a gimmick for banks to make money. courtesy my a$$.”

“Not to mention the banks that hold deposits for ungodly amounts of time, waiting until you make some charges (all while thinking you have sufficient funds) so they can intentionally stick you with overdraft fees. Fortunately, my bank didn't do that, but I had many friends with that problem. I won't name names...I'll just say the bank's initials were W and F.”

“Yeah! It's all their fault that you spent more money than you had. It's their fault that you didn't keep track of how much money was left in your account. Yeah! You tell 'em!”
