[As a heads up, the transcript of my KVMR commentary this week is entitled 'Those Left Behind' and will post around 6pm.  Its focus is Obama's budget and the wage/wealth gap, so if you want to hold your fire on that until you can post comments under a relevant topic.  Thanks. gjr]

    Speaking of what LIBS say, This is interesting.

    I recall the reports of Jimmy Carter “turning white” and changing his tune when he supposedly had the inside news of what’s “out there”.
    He was going to give the people the facts when he ran for President, and expose the “truth”. ( Then clammed up, and never said another word)

    JoeK 936am – no deflection at all to those who understand the issue and can discuss issues at a level of precision beyond innuendo and emoting. I think the record in these pages shows that our right-leaning readers do not dismiss a message due to the identity of the messenger, but instead consider it on its merits. Unfortunately that is another asymmetry between the Right and Left. Russ and Gregory have adequately covered the other points in my 907am.

    “right-leaning readers do not dismiss a message due to the identity of the messenger”
    RE above Can you ascribe those attributes to Todd? He immediately brands a message according to his opinion of the politics of the contributor. Also Walt You are dead wrong on this one.

    JoeKoyote: “Don’t the Koch brothers own a bunch of Exxon-Mobile?”
    No, not that I can see. Warren Buffet does, which kind of ruins the narrative.
    Maybe it’s possible that the KOCH! Bros own a large piece of one of the larger mutual funds which in turn own a chunk of XOM.

    It seems Mr. Steyer, the billionaire lefty hedge fund fellow (who promised the Democrats $100,000,000 if the would chat about global warming) has been exposed for the corrupt liberal he is. Oregon now has a new GOV and Steyer appears to be the reason.
    The Koch brothers can spread that dough around and help us get R’s and conservatives elected. Free Speech. Kinda great!

    How am I wrong Paul? Carter was a big believer in UFOs. There is more than one account of his “attitude” change in his pre Presidential briefings. You have a search tool,,, use it.
    Besides. Life beyond Earth has more credibility than AGW. ( and a lot more proof exists as well)

    I don;t know what you’re talking about. I was commenting on George saying
    “right-leaning readers do not dismiss a message due to the identity of the messenger”
    Try following the chain of discussion.

    If you would have read what I wrote it was pretty clear that I was putting you in the same camp as Todd in predetermining responses based on the perceived ideology of the writer.
    “Dead wrong” referred to George
    Yes, there should have been a paragraph.

    Too much Irish stuff, or you have been probed by ET.
    NEVER “predetermine” what I will say.

    PaulE 811pm – OK, OK so there have been a few infractions from the Right. But given the long record in these comment streams, I stand by my assessment in the aggregate that I claim to be statistically significant 😉

    Well, after being King for the Day, our friend Mr. Paul has indeed returned to Gotham City in the guise of mild mannered reporter Clark Kent as promised. Welcome back to form, Mr. Kent.

    Yeah Bill
    Being King is not what it used to be. I didn’t even have a reserved parking place. I was mostly an unpaid bead tosser. Lots of fun though. It was a great parade.

    Paul Emery, where did I write you were a product of local schools? George has pointed out the answer to your questions, now move along, nothing to see here.
    And, the left that comments here is self proclaimed.
