We should welcome them? I haven't had time to digest all of your links yet, m'friend, but I didn't want you to think you were being "alienated". [Ok, so I'm sending myself to my OWN corner!] |

Ok, Reb. I've visited a few of the "sites" listed above. You're asking if we should be worried. Let's start with you. What worries you? I'm asking this seriously, and I know that I'm not often taken seriously. Have you seen any correlation between what we cannot ascribe to earthly monuments/artwork/symbols to the vanishing of cultures? [Mayans come to mind.] If we were to know what it is you are worried about, maybe we can offer more to your observations and readings? For example, I always thought that "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" had some merit, because I had been watching educational channels for some time. With what we know now about mechanics, electronics, and other mysteries not foreseen by most in the 18th century, it makes perfect sense that "someone" knew something more than the average human back in the earlier centuries. I'm looking forward to what you have to share, Reb. Not to pick on you, but to expand and expound upon with you. I'm a soft alley member. [and see? I'm taking you seriously.... ] |

I'm worried about people who can't talk with each other about their opinions because there is perception of reality that has become so distorted by money that facts, seemingly, no longer exist. On the subject of et's, I defer to Stephen Hawkings who opines its unlikely any who might travel here would be just coming to say hello. |

Be careful, L.R.; if you go more than another posting or two, you might have trouble convincing people you were trying to make a point and they may start taking you seriously. You could end up being somebody's source. |

Yes, I'll have a slice of that bull. Pass the source, please... |

perception of reality that has become so distorted by money that facts, seemingly, no longer exist. ....or distorted by political allegiance, don't forget. My thread on Solyndra bears that out pretty well. "If I close my eyes, you can't see me" mentality. |

Well Bob, perhaps illustrating a point ..... reductio ad absurdum even of the proposition that we don't need to get hung up on sources. And, this scenario, after all we don't know for sure that aliens AREN'T going to invade, is as good as any to point out if true, the Nazi party would most likely put aside its racist agenda and join in solidarity with the human race ( its hard out here for a Nazi) and we'd most likely let them. Watching Herman Cain sing 'Imagine there's no Pizza' did have me wondering if we were in the 'outer limits' though. Mike, So far Solyndra is getting about as much traction as a puppy on a fresh waxed floor as 'scandals' go....maybe if it had occured pre Teapot Dome? Too many billions went missing in Iraq though to get to excited over what is, proportionally, a small investment gone south compared to other government-backed loans that panned out quite well (GM,Chrysler,Banks). And, if thats what your thread 'bears out' I've had several that sank like stones we need to talk about But, I make no argument at all against your core premise that ideology and party affilliation results in warped perceptions of reality. |

" a small investment gone south" is not what it's about, even if I don't call half a billion "small". It shows Obama's utter disregard for the taxpayer and interested in nothing more than satisfying donators to his campaigns. Yes, it is a small scandal right now but that puppy may get traction. The investigation of the possible illegality of Obama's restructuring the loan repayments to favor the investors over the taxpayers has teeth. I actually find it hard to believe that no one would be outraged by it, regardless of the Teapot Dome scandal or Iraq, or the kitchen sink. One can only imagine the rage from the left if this had been done by a republican president....and yet our vocal leftists here have suddenly developed laryngitis or perhaps, in this case, carpal tunnel syndrome. Sadly, I don't find that surprising. |

I've hit paydirt. I think I've just found the mother of all crazy websites: http://9-11themotherofallblackoperations.blogspot.com/2011/09/incriminating-evidence-suggests.html Please forgive me if any of you have seen this before, and especially forgive me if anyone takes this as the truth, but the site starts out as if there might be some hidden gem of reality to it, and then takes the D train right out of consensual reality with an absolutely straight face. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. |

No time right now Mike, but, one thing: from my own experience I don't find the debt structure unusual at all. It's common practice for newer creditors to be placed behind the standing of earlier investors/lenders. You can be justified, I think, for complaining about the risk profile, and I don't want to try to defend that any more than going to the moon. But, we were, similarly, in a technology race with China. I think the thing that was done wrong was that we didn't insist a larger loan, just like with the stimulous, this admin tried to do it on the cheap. |

Mike, I have supported your outrage fairly frequently on a number of different issues. I recall Libya; I recall, at least occasionally, your problems with the President. In a short response, two examples should be enough. At what point do I have to share your outrage at each issue you bring up or be branded a "see what I mean" kind of guy. At what point can I be amused by something other than what you're upset about and not get creamed. You might note I was responding to the actual subject of the thread. While there are lots of things that the President has done that upset me, Solyndra hardly even registers. If it had, I would have responded to your actual thread on the subject, which had some interesting points to make. But you are enough of a Capitalist to understand that a thread is as much a product as any other, and if you haven't gotten people to buy into the topic, it's silly to blame the customers. It's beyond silly, it bad marketing. If people don't buy your soft drink, you adopt until they do or you go out of business. If you start bkaming them for having evil taste buds, then you've more or less missed the point haven't you? I don't find the topic interesting. I didn't when you broached it as its own topic, and I don't now that you broach it in the middle of another. Being told that I'm a predictable partisan for ignoring the topic certainly does nothing to pique my interest. You know already, by the way, that I'm partisan. I make a point of saying so frequently. What my position will be on any single issue, however, may not be so predictable. You are still left with the writer's basic problem, that of engaging the reader, and blaming the reader for not being engaged is bad marketing. Whomever we may be as writers in a political sense, left, right or center, we need to be writers first, otherwise we aren't communicating. You simply haven't found a way to get people caught up in your enthusiasm for your issue, perhaps not the right lead, perhaps not the right slant. Usually you do an excellent job of it, and I get caught up in conversations that I'm not particularly interested in and find myself getting passionate about them. It's a strong point of yours as an essayist. Somehow, you've missed it here. Pardon my groping around here, Mike. I've been trying to think through my reaction to your comments and my thoughts have focused themselves more clearly as I've written on. I think the thoughts at the end are closest to what my final thoughts on the issue are. Sorry if I seem to be bouncing all over the place.

Bob, whatever you are sniffing, I suggest you cut back. I haven't mentioned you at all, nor addressed you. If you want to add 1 and 1 and come up with 7 and 1/2, that's your issue, not mine. |

Reb, we are not talking about new investors. We are talking about the government. I'm not sure of the rules but I seem to recall that if the government slaps a lien on a property, the government's lien will be honored before all others in line. Feel free to correct me on that if wrong. Aside from that, how does it pass the smell test? We have a government in dire financial straits investing in a company that goes belly up and Obama makes it so that the primary investors, millionaires who happen to be huge donators to Obama, get their money while the government absorbs the loss. How many bridges can you build with half a billion dollars? How many teachers can you hire? Well, at 100,000 per year salary, we're talking over 5000. Now we have Obama saying he needs money to hire teachers. He just sold 5000 of them down the river so that his contribution whales don't lose on the fiasco that his own advisors advised him not to go in because of the instability of the company. Do you really find this to be the actions of a president who puts the country first? I really don't see how you can. |

I started snorting this: quote: L.R. responded to your post about Solyndra in his # 19 with comments beginning: quote: in # 20, you replied, with incredulity, epitomised by statements like this: quote: At this point, I’d run across a website that seemed to condense everything L.R. had been talking about into one example. I announced this in Number 21. The next posting was yours, half an hour later. It was an aside to L.R. quote: That’s what I’m sniffing, Mike. Now when I look at post 26 and see that a thread that began as a thread about how rumors get started and how truth gets crowded out by fiction has been altered, I see that there has in fact been an alien invasion, and that it’s happened today. Congratulations. Indeed it seems to be my issue and not yours. |
