Thanks for that Alan, I had forgotten about Ms. Banfield the other day.

Very good. And it is still going on. Montel just lost his show after FOX did not renew it after he went on air to talk about Heath Ledger, and he instead talked about "5 dead Heath Ledgers in Iraq" and basically went off on them. He was not invited back after a hurried "We must go to a commercial" which cut off his speech. Google it - its on youtube etc...

Edit:

The Montel segment made it into your video - Congratz! It just happened a few days ago...

Does anyone else have the feeling like....Who the Fuck am I going to vote for? (followed by screaming in the streets)

I simply don't see any candidate dealing with the culture of corruption (Amurkans), peak oil/war(or peak food), or the economy on any scale that may make a actual difference. I'm stickin' with: none of the above.

OTG #4, when in doubt do what I do, vote for an upper midwest Democrat. I'm from there and the people up yonder have a pretty damn good sense about these things.

Wellstone happened

Ellison happened

Eugene McCarthy happened We might just be surprised

Since no elected official ever does what they say they will do while campaigning, I suggest voting for who the person is, how they live their life, what they have done up until now. That is, IMHO, the best indicator of what they will actually do once in office.

Linda@6

Your formula led me to John Edwards. I will write him in. But in listening to Republicans on NPR today, they are are having to do the same thing in comparing McCain, Huckabee and Romney. It seems to me that whether you are Dem or Republican, you end up holding your nose in the voting booth. It is really, really a stupid state of affairs.

Are you folks getting your info on candidates from the MSM? There is one candidate that is For the People that you have mentioned about as often as MSM is allowed to - Ron Paul.

Turn "them" off and try meditation. 15 minutes at least twice a day. Scares the shit out of "them." The chinese were throwing people in jail for it.

#Will do Ancient..I'm serious. Have already stopped looking at tv except for Amy Goodman and occ. Jon Stewart. It truly sucks. May Montel Williams go on to better things like Bill Maher. Wasn't wild about the format of politically incorrect. Like the new show better. Oh..that is another one I watch. Saw 3 huge wild turkies walking up my yard today. Have noticed the snow is sparkling like diamonds with the ice now. Some things work out for the best. If tv hadn't taken such a nose dive..I'd still be looking at it.
