“We love to give!”

A woman called up to proclaim a few things about herself on the Sean Hannity show in an oh-so-chipper manner – A Christian who rents with her husband because she understands she can’t afford a home!

And Sean!! We love to give!!!

Well, that makes me feel so much better about you, considering you felt the need to backhand people who are losing their homes in this crisis. I’m so much more convinced of your sterling character now.

(Proceed to some drivel about how if Obama gets elected it will destroy her “giving spirit.”)

I was pointed to this NPR program – The Giant Pool of Money – as a means to try and better understand what’s going on right now, and I have to say, so far I am really liking it.

Naomi Klein has also been writing about this, and I’m a little disturbed since I’m about halfway through the Shock Doctrine – ESSENTIAL reading and rather frightening.
Free Market Ideology is Far from Finished
Now is the Time to Resist Wall Street’s Shock Doctrine

EDIT 9/24: This was posted today at What About Our Daughters – Very good video about stopping the bailout!
