When did that happen? The acronym LOL can not suffice. I just say it because technologically, educationally, governmentally, health-wise, etc. it isn't true by a long stretch.
holy shit i missed that "The acronym LOL can not suffice"!
i was agreeing with you

Come on guys, I said even if we are are the best country in the world, not We are the best country in the world. The point was that if a country is great (or even greatest) it should still strive to be better. Are you really disagreeing with that idea?

Um...to my limited knowledge the Wall Street Journal is about Buisness, is it not? International buisness?
Are you saying the Journal's against Big Buisness???

I'm saying its a paper with international coverage that while focused on buisness regularly reports on a bunch of things, fasion (at least weekly), electronics (at least weekly),politics(daily), other current news(daily). It's far from a single issue publication.
WSJ was one of the first to break the Enron story, and I'd presume it'll continue to print damaging stories on buisnesses, which is why people subscribe. Investors don't want sunshine blown up their ass while the stock falls.
While murdoch controlls it at the moment, its just another newspaper. To say it specifically is allied w/ corporate america seems hard to substantiate.

Obama's speeches are depressing?
Have you looked into the faces of the people in the audience afterwards?
They look like they were just given a shot of morphine and speed for god's sake!!
The only people who come away depressed from an Obama speech are those in the elite who are accustomed to the game being rigged in their favor for so many years and are afraid their gig is up.
I am sure THEY are depressed as HELL.
I do agree that, sooner or later, Obama will be forced to answer some very specific questions about his plan for America and his poll numbers will come back down to earth at that time. So I agree with the article in that sense.
