And did you notice that Santelli's rant was decidedly anti-Obama?

Sure did... so did everyone else... It was remakrable,a nd attarcted so very much attantion, because it was so outside the norm for NBC.... or hadn't that point occurred to you?

Of course NBC has been trying to play up the market somewhat. At least, until it became glaringly obvious that there was no playing it up. They've also been rabidly pro Obama.

Bit, I wonder, did you even watch the spot? Everything they cited (I think, I only watched it once) occured before Obama was elected. And did you notice that Santelli's rant was decidedly anti-Obama?

Really, your hackery could not be more obvious.

Triumph: I just bought arugula seeds...
Burgess- Growing your own food??? That's about as commie as you can get. Gardening is antithetical to a healthy economy. There is a reason we have grocery stores--to circulate money and grow the economy.
Your assault on capitalism is telling--it figures you're growing arugula! Liberal action and a liberal food!!

Giggle...

Of course, I have been growing my own food for years, including arugula.(especially John's take on a steak sandwich).

Don't worry Triumph, my GF more than makes up for my communist ways.

* Of course NBC has been trying to play up the market somewhat. At least, until it became glaringly obvious that there was no playing it up. They've also been rabidly pro Obama. I suspect that these two go hand in hand. The reasoning would seem to be confirmed today when we look at the number of "green" projects that parent company general electric will be getting as a result of the stimulus and other Obama initiatives. Political payback?

* comedy channel, if I am not mistaken, is owned by Viacom , which is the same company that owns CBS. Could the competitive situation here have anything to do with the tartness of Stewart's comments? Not that his comments were not spot on, mind you.

Arugula on a steak sandwich? Nothing better!

The only thing losing value faster than stocks and life savings,is cable TV content,a point which is made at least as well by "The Daily Show",and it's miserable content, as by CNBC!

Actually, the content of the Daily Show has gotten better recently. Still not as good as it was in 2000, but much better than it was a year or two ago. I can actually watch the correspondent segments now. Still, I miss Nancy Walls.

I just don't get the the whole Daily Show and SNL being part of politics these days. Are they or just for some folks?

They play the modern role of jester. It's not like it's a new phenomena either, comedians have been a part of politics for as long as either has existed.

Santelli's been anti-bailout from the beginning.

Since CNBC seems to only say 'buy', that sorta trashes their advice, doesn't it?

Its only when their own liberal pocketbooks get hit that these clowns start talking. Sorry, Jon, that the price arugula has skyrocketed--you might have to eat iceberg lettuce like the rest of us.
