ok, watching lou dobbs (God bless his soul), is cornering some repuke about the massive tax-cut for corporate america, and it just strikes me: corporations need these tax breaks to be competitive, yet, their profits are so astronomically high that they can't 'create new jobs' without those tax breaks? i don't get it. companies whine for more federal dollars (tax breaks), and yet everybody on wall street's swimming in cash because of this so-called booming economy.

the ones who are not benefitting from all this money changing is the poor. in fact, we have a reverse robin hood game being played out. it's disgusting. nauseating. and frightening.

the American people 'know little about John Kerry' seems to be a line that is in the boilerplates of every newspaper in the country. it works well for the republicans because it helps them define kerry, er rather, un-define him. the very fact that we have a major-right-wing-slant in the media at the highest levels (and even at some lower levels), helps them to continue this charade that kerry has not yet defined himself.

but he has, and if anybody were to just pay attention to him, they would see it. but that's the whole point. republicans don't want people to see it. so the media, the lapdog pets they are, abides and falls into their rovish rituals of portraying kerry as 'someone who the people don't know', and bam! the people say they don't know. repeat a lie often enough, it'll become a truth.
