Thom might consider changing "suckers" to "out-foxed" sortofa double entendre. Thank all of you for all of your service!!! Doesn't have any blood on it as does mine.

I do like "out-foxed" as a descriptor for our conservative, myth-informed brethren!

I still like "mark".

With His Holiness The Dalai Lama, at His home in Dharamsala, India (Synthesis Dialogues - made into a movie narrated by Harrison Ford)
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
Liz Shield says she shouldn't have to show ID to buy ammunition because she's not a criminal, but people that buy alcohol aren't generally criminals either. The point is to determine whether the purchase is illegal. And by her argument, her wish to require ID to vote would mean voters are criminals.
On the other hand, the searching of everyone's persons and effects at airports is a violation of the 4th Amendment, and therefore does treat everyone like a criminal.
