AIN'T THAT SOME BULL****!
AIG, which received over $120 billion as bailout, was under fire for hosting a $400,000 retreat at the St. Regis in late September and has gone and shoved its ass right in our faces again. After saying how sorry they were for spending so much AND after consider using more of that bailout money to take out "ads" explaining their point of view, they are still hosting another event; an "educational" retreat for about 200 at the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay, CA. Taxpayers paid for that so I'm expecting my invite soon. Click on the title for more.
WHO KNEW!
by pierre baltadanoDid anyone catch NBC's Bob Costas' interview with President Bush? During the Olympics?! I thought it was amazing and what was good is that I felt that it wasn't trying to push Bush into a corner or asking him questions to create headlines. I felt that Costas was just asking out of pure journalistic intrigue and pursuit for justification and clarification for the rhetoric created by the current Administration. Sorry if politics feels a little off but it was a gem for me to find this while leisurely watching the Beijing Games.
Now, the vids keep getting removed from YouTube so it's been tough getting one to stick, (hmm), but above is one that I've seen sticking the longest.

BUSH'S WAR...
by Pierre Baltadano
Bush's War is a two-part series is probably gonna get PBS's funding cut some more but they have done something remarkable by not only putting together a documentary on the beginnings of the Iraq war and in posting it online, they have also given access to excerpts that were cut for time by including. That's around 400 hrs of free footage that the people have access to. Doing this is also so much more engaging for those that want to go more in-depth into a documentary that already promises to give unprecedented inquiry and coverage to such a sensitive subject. Thanks PBS and Frontline. That's that for the politics. Oh, and here's hoping I don't get followed for life for posting this.
