thinking next fans
I'm really excited about the remixes. I've always been a fan of electronic music and I'm thinking about that very seriously for the next record as well.
real rocks enemy
There's too much rock that relies a fetishism or nostalgia for the old ways. That's a real enemy to music.
hearing-things helping young
You can't help hearing things that are popular when you're young and impressionable.
wall giving world
An unregulated derivatives market essentially gives Wall Street a way to place hidden taxes on everything in the world.
people house labyrinth
The House Rules Committee is perhaps the free world's outstanding bureaucratic abomination - a tiny, airless closet deep in the labyrinth of the Capitol where some of the very meanest people on earth spend their days cleaning democracy like a fish.
government agency work-out
The failure to work out sensible budgets makes it impossible for government agencies to make long-term plans, and instead leaves them scrambling to spend money in the short term.
cynical political united-states
Sarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States. As a representative of our political system, she's a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove.
successful evil stories
Private equity firms aren't necessarily evil by definition. There are many stories of successful turnarounds fueled by private equity, often involving multiple floundering businesses that are rolled into a single entity, eliminating duplicative overhead.
years stories bankers
Over the years, many in the public have become numb to news of financial corruption, partly because too many of these stories involve banker-on-banker crime.
punishment white snow
Obviously, people who commit crimes should be punished. Even people who steal socks and 'Snow White' videos should probably do time if they have priors, especially serious priors. But the punishment has to fit the crime, and the standard has to be the same for everyone.
christian views economic
Mike Huckabee represents something that is either tremendously encouraging or deeply disturbing, depending on your point of view: a marriage of Christian fundamentalism with economic populism.
party class interesting
It's really interesting that we've had this great Tea Party movement that is all about restoring free market capitalist values, but what they completely fail to understand is that what we've got now is a situation where there is a small class of gigantic financial companies that have put themselves above capitalism.
running government gone
The only reason investors haven't run screaming from an obviously corrupt financial marketplace is because the government has gone to such extraordinary lengths to sell the narrative that the problems of 2008 have been fixed.
party evil debt
The party in power almost always unapologetically engages in deficit spending, while the other party argues passionately against the evils of debt and deficits.
