Scrutinize "da ROOLZ"

This blog was created just after the R&BL Committee cheated 18 million democrats of their votes. initiated during the Primaries. After Party Unity My Ass had been declared, bona-fide leaders held onto their sanity and found support at the Just Say No Deal Coalition. There I came to hear the tales of HRC supporters who were banished from the Daily Koz, Huffington Post and such by the Overbearing Obots as the Cheeto-chomping crazies blogging in their parents' basement came to be called.

Though I had things to say, survival instincts kept my head down, my profile low and my posts carefully-worded. Lurking and occasionally commenting helped me discern the balancing forces that lend blogger credibility.

Knowing that Power hates a vacuum and that the Fourth Estate's duty is to observe and report objectively, I put most of my energy into remaining at arms length from those suicidal news organs willing to take Obama's money - however egregiously raised - to pay their bills.

Great fortunes were built during the Great Depression. Auctions sell properties foreclosed upon to investors willing to grab a bargain born of another's misfortune or bad business decisions. So, when the bailout bonanza got underway, my mind was too conditioned to seeing the Bushies skate the rules by grabbing cover from the W admin to think it was CHANGE. Bush cut a deal with 'the chosen one' to make room at the trough and keep the invitation list tight if the freshman Senator would play ball. la Bama knows a convenience when he sees one, and added just another insider's chip to his purse.

Alas: those of you who worked all your life to prepare and position yourselves to make the most of the opportunity created by Lehman Brothers' demise were chanelled to oblivion, permitting the playas to feast unfettered. Take heart: it ain't over til it's ovah.
