You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in."
- Article: CALL THE SENATE RIGHT F*@KING NOW!!1!1!!.
"Word on the street is that phone calls to Congress are running 100 to 1, against President Obama's stimulus package."
- Chris Matthews said same as Thom about packaging the stimulus package. Thom got a memo from the right wing 2 days ago, passed it on to David Sirota. He got one about Card Check too. Nobody is sending memos to the left. The left don't march in lockstep. We are on the edge if not in the second Great Republican Depression.

From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
