Saw this video a couple of days ago. I had recalled seeing a portion of it before. The powers of the Google allowed me confirm that I had indeed posted it earlier this year at TPM.

In reply to No worries. What do you mean

There are hidden html tags in all the posts. If you want to see them, edit your blog post, and click the "disable rich text" button underneath the edit box. The html controls the formatting--line breaks, fonts, italics, etc.

If you paste formatted text from another editor, hidden html will be pasted along with the text. That can really screw things up, not only in the post itself but in the rest of the site. That's why I encourage people to paste only clean text from a simple text editor and then add any formatting using the dagblog editor. Did you paste your live blog using textwranger? There was some weird html in place of the line breaks.

No worries. What do you mean by formatting? I'm not sure I know how to format anything.

My bad. I had to fix the formatting because it was screwing up the rest of the site, and I think that I managed to cut off the end of your live blog. I should have been more careful. Sorry about that.

PS How did you get all that formatting crap into your post?

In reply to Completely agree. It's beyond

It also appears that my "live blog" got cut out somehow. Ugh, I possess the internet savvy of a 75-year old Wyoming Male. Of course, I still think that leaves me overqualified to serve on the panel of the "FOX HTML Help Hour"

Completely agree. It's beyond

In reply to It's not the embarrassing

Completely agree. It's beyond reckless on a "financial advice" show to demean and mock the opposing view. I'd prefer they didn't even bring on Peter and just cheered uninterrupted like they were in la-la land. Instead it forces everyone at home who might agree with Peter to feel like a jackass when the entire panel circles around him, points fingers and throws tomatoes. It's painful how destructive the above segment is. Unfortunately they will never be held accountable outside the world of youtube. Ben Stein will still have his yahoo finance column, he'll still be on television every other day and journalists will still pretend that his opinion still holds water - nevermind the fact that he couldn't have been more wrong about the biggest financial disaster in his lifetime. Really, what right do any of these analysts deserve when they belittled the correct and responsible view while standing on the train tracks? I would have been better served with an Orangutan as my financial advisor

It's not the embarrassing things or even that they were utterly wrong while he was spot on. It's the total lack of respect for a dissenting voice. You can disagree with someone, even vehemently, without demeaning them. I suppose nothing that happens on Fox News should surprise me, but I find it disgustng.

i saw that Schiff/Laffer video a couple of weeks ago. I'm very impressed with how right Schiff was, but I'm more flabbergasted at the poor advice from everyone else (tho I know there are embarassing video clips of me saying stupid things, so I can't get too haughty!)

Video humiliation is too

Video humiliation is too lenient for those bozos. Aren't there stockades in some storage room in Plymouth? And couldn't they be transported up to Time Square pretty easily?
