Dick --- Good article on Helms, but I already knew his soul is now in Hades.

Dick Polman is secretly meeting with George Soros and Ahmedinajad in Tehran, discussing the overthrow of the American government and forcing us all to convert to Islam over some skim milk lattes. All you right wingers were right! Bwhahaha!

how about mccain/graham's belief the 'recession' is psychological and caused by whiners - how come the Philly paper doesn't pick that up? (see article): "Drs. McCain and Gramm Put the U.S. Economy on the Couch; Gramm Diagnosis a "Mental Recession" Among U.S. "Whiners" July 10, 2008 9:56 AM Is there a doctor in the house? A top economic adviser to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., -- former Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, now vice chair of Swiss banking giant UBS -- tells the Washington Times that the US economy is being weighed down by the belief by Americans that the economy is bad. "You've heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession," Gramm tells the Washington Times, adding that despite all the bad news out there US economic growth continues at a rate of approximately 1 percent. "We may have a recession; we haven't had one yet." Adds Gramm: "We have sort of become a nation of whiners. You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline...We've never been more dominant; we've never had more natural advantages than we have today...Misery sells newspapers. Thank God the economy is not as bad as you read in the newspaper every day." This comes on the heels of McCain himself saying of economic distress, "a lot of this is psychological. Because I agree the fundamentals of our economy is still strong.” (Watch HERE.) McCain repeated that notion in an idea with Fox News' Neil Cavuto, saying "a lot of our problems today, as you know, are psychological — the confidence, trust, the uncertainty about our economic future, ability to keep our own home." He said his proposed gas tax holiday "might give them a little psychological boost. Let’s have some straight talk, it’s not a huge amount of money.” (Watch HERE.) McCain last month said that off-shore drilling might have a "psychological" affect as well on the U.S. economy. (Watch HERE.)
