BARBARA'S DAILY BUZZFLASH MINUTE

Just in case you may be wondering why and how America managed to get into the worst financial condition since the big Depression! "UNDER THE RADAR -- Executives and other highly compensated employees now receive more than one-third of all pay in the U.S., according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of Social Security Administration data -- without counting billions of dollars more in pay that remains off federal radar screens that measure wages and salaries -- "And then to add insult to injury" -- From 2002 to 2007, earnings for American workers rose 24 percent, but the highest-paid saw a 48 percent increase. -- Kevin Drum noted, "in other words, the executives got a 48% increase, the rest of us got approximately nothing." The disparity between upper echelon and the workers looks like we're back to legalized slave labor. Greed in America is unconscionable.

"Did DoJ Blackmail Siegelman Witness With Sex Scandal?" Err just to clarify here -- This was George Bush/Karl Rove's DoJ! It's about time the real criminals are brought to justice and it doesn't matter if they have Judge and/or prosecutor in front of their names. Think about it, if they can get away with framing a Governor in order to put him in prison to get rid of him, then they can do it to anyone!

"Kudos to Rachel Maddow for latching on to the captivating and chilling story about not just the lascivious and potentially illegal activities of some of the "C Street" Family, but -- more importantly -- focusing on their belief that they are chosen by God to lead and infiltrate our governnment." This is what happens when Religion goes awry and becomes radical -- men stop thinking they're men and start believing they are God!
