I don't write many diaries. But, for a long time I have seen something on this blog that deeply worries me.
I see so many people falling into a trap and causing so much division and anger.
And it does little more then defeats us as a whole.

Now that was a debate. It was just beautiful.
On Anderson Cooper tonight, the topic was Dr. Dean calling Fox News racist yesterday on Wallace's morning show.

I watch Washington Journal on Cspan in the morning. They have a call in in the first segment on a topic of the day and I think it should be mandatory watching for the beltway bubble heads like pundits and pols.
This morning the topic was about the Sherrod case and the callers on both sides were great and toward the end the calls zeroed in on what seems to be what our media is ignoring - themselves and their failures.

Interesting segment on C-span's Washington Journal this morning.
The guest was Arthur Brooks, President of American Enterprise Institute (AEI).
Mr. Brooks was on to hawk his new book and the usual conservative spin of unfettered Free Markets.
As conservatives do, he was putting the blame of the deficit and spending on Obama and was talking about how the remedy of fixing the deficit should be.
Video won't be available for a few hours yet.

I have been thinking on this oil spill. Reading alot in the newspapers and blogs. Reading alot of comments and listening to television.
I see and hear alot of anger and emotional reaction but, little listening or thinking.

I am just a person sitting in my bedroom wanting to express my own observations of what I see and have been thinking.

Not to point fingers at any entity or spout anger.

Please excuse any mistake I may make - typos ect. while writing this. I just got this new computer and I am not use to the keyboard and have not found out how to do alot of things yet.
My computer was a desktop piece of crap that made things hard. I just got this HP Pavilion dv4 laptop with Windows 7. So many new things on here and I am learning how to do stuff on it. everything is soooo differnt.

Anyway, I was reading this very cool article by Tim Wise on alternet.
He wrote about what if african americans were the tea party and I found it amazing...

I rarely go to Huffington Post but, today thought I would go through there and link up to my blogs from there.
Imagine my surprise when my eye caught wind of this gem:

the gist of the story below the jump.

"I am an ordinary citizen from Omaha, Neb., who just may have the chance to preserve liberty along with you and other people like you," she said at a recent panel discussion with tea party leaders in Washington. Thomas went on to count herself among those energized into action by President Obama's "hard-left agenda."

These are the words of a middle aged woman who is starting this new Tea Party Group along with a Nonprofit Lobby Group....

this is going to be a very short, sweet diary.
I could not find a proper diary to insert this gem into a comment without going totally off base.
So, I decided to write one of those annoying very short diaries.

This morning I was watching the former head of the IMF (international monetary fund) on Washington Journal.
He was on to explained the debt and also the problems with Greece and other countries in the European Union and what it could mean.
However, he spoke alot about the 'too big to fail' banks here in this country and the crash.
He also has a book, 13 Bankers: Wall Street Takeover and the Next Financial Meltdown.

I looked the book up on Amazon and one of the reviews wrote about an article he wrote for the Atlantic some months ago. I clicked and read 'The Quiet Coup" and found this article to be something I would strongly recommend everyone to read:
