Gingrich's Tiffany's bill

Gingirch's Tiffany's bill might not be his wife's penchant for jewelry, maybe it's Gingrich buying peace offerings every time he gets caught having an affair.

THOM!!! You are not being fair to the serial wife-recycler and slimy amphibian impersonator. You should stop interferring with Gingrich's martial process. Gingrich just wants to recycle his current wife and only knows how to dump a woman if she is sick and he can line up the next ex-Gingrich by boinking her while he is on the public dole.

"AH . . . FRANKLY", if you examine his intentions under any other light, you will be left wanting.

Why are Democrats shunned when the mess around on their wives, and Republicans get a pass? Easy Thom, Republicans have NO SHAME! So they don't care what is said about them, and are nearly impossible to embarass... remember these are the guys that openly take corporate cash, heck the shop for it. THEY HAVE NO SHAME.

Angela McGlowan starts out by saying she's "Taxed Enough Already" and then says she can't be required to answer a question of tax policy because she's not a public official? Despite the fact that she ran for public office?

Gee Thom are you sure we aren't a very socially mobile country, feels like I've gone from middle to lower class. Seems like a lot of my fellow citizens are in the same boat too.

Social Security isn't an entitlement because you've paid for it? How are you not "entitled" to what you've paid for?

From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community and When Corporations Rule the World and board chair of YES! magazine
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."
Tom Hayden, author of The Long Sixties and director, Peace and Justice Resource Center.
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
John Perkins, author of the New York Times bestselling book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
