I believe, as good at spin as Acorn is, even they'll have to pass on Suleman! Suleman has simply called too much negative public attention to herself from "every day" tax paying people, but your comment about Octomom and Acorn is entertaining. The rest of your writing is, as usual, very spot on and enlightening. I would agree with the parallels you draw of the main-stream press reporting on Joe the Plumber and the 'victims' in the housing market! Keep up the good works, Michelle! As we all know, it's only going to get worse.

The only reason there was a tiny bit of interest in watching O spew last night was that I have never seen a man with his pants on fire. But sanity prevailed, and I enjoyed watching a DVD with my wife; we laughed and enjoyed ourselves. So my stimulus virginity remains intact.

Now, as I understand what MrsMalkin is trying to say, the entire global financial crisis was caused by unscrupulous poor people who scammed naive bankers in complicated home loan schemes. The plan went something like this - a poor person walks into a bank looking for a loan on a home they can't afford. The young, enthusiastic bank people would then trust the poor people and give them a loan which the poor people should be able to easily pay back. Then, the cunning poor people would stop making payments on the loan, eventually losing the house and becoming even poorer. To put this more simply, the scam went like this:
1. Poor person gets home loan
2. Poor person defaults on loan.
3. Profit!
Funny how Ben Bernanke, Federal Reserve Chairman said "Our own experience with CRA over more than 30 years and recent analysis of available data, including data on subprime loan performance, runs counter to the charge that CRA was at the root of, or otherwise contributed in any substantive way to, the current mortgage difficulties." He must be in cahoots with the rest of those liberal communists.

Michelle, I have one word for you: KARMA.

Dear Michelle,

Wow! So you know that Nadya Suleman had cosmetic surgery! Of course her friends, who've known her since grade school years didn't know that, but of course, you're smarter than them. Obviously she must have had it done when she was six.

You know that all of the people having their homes foreclosed on are simply irresponsible. Those to whom this is happening simply because their mortgage went upside down with property values declining should have known better. Those who lost their jobs are simply too lazy. Anyone who wants to work today should be able to get a $200,000 per year job easily enough.

I do wish that you lived in the same world as the rest of us. Not everyone is trying to scam the government. Not everyone gets paid simply to spread rumors and lies. But conservatism isn't about what's true ... it's about what sells, and you and your ilk do that.
