Worth a Read

Former Republican consultant Kevin Phillips has a nice piece on the Huffington Post about how Wall Street disdains socialism, except when it comes to the risk they acquire. Risk is spread out so that we all suffer. Reward on the other hand is kept in the hands of the few. Worth a read at www.huffingtonpost.com.

In other news, I am beginning to believe that any damage done by Sen. Obama's "small town" remarks is being overwhelmed by Sen. Clinton's eagerness to pounce on it. Between doing shots of Crown Royal (who does shots of Crown Royal?) and claiming she has been a shooter all her life, the disingenuousness is a little thick. Obama told people something they didn't want to hear, but at least he was being authentic. Hillary's plastic turn as the Coalminer's Daughter may do more harm than good.

Of course, if Sen. Obama's wins, you can bet that Sen. McCain will run an endless loop of the comment as proof of Democratic elitism. And then he will get back to the business of jail raping America's working class.
