Never mind her stupid opinions and terrible writing, the number of times she's written stuff that's just factually <i>wrong</i> is astounding.<br /><br />Dillon - no. She has never, at least from what I've read of her garbage, written anything remotely funny, as hard as she tries.Clever Pseudonymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782313892753904678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-79069676202896146492010-04-11T13:01:59.374-05:002010-04-11T13:01:59.374-05:00Bulbul, yes, I skipped some of her more repetitive...Bulbul, yes, I skipped some of her more repetitive posts, and was also distracted by K-Lo's latest atrocities.<br /><br />What a blazingly stupid statement--"I am required to get my facts right." You can see that she's mindful of lawsuits, but obviously nobody is fact checking her work. She is obviously perfectly capable of lying to herself and then believing her lies.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-56438281997563150702010-04-10T20:29:34.684-05:002010-04-10T20:29:34.684-05:00"Cadillac Plans", if you will

In her <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2010/04/gm-more-troubles-coming-down-the-road/38603/" rel="nofollow">latest screed on the subject</a> she has this to say (emphasis mine):<br /><br />"The CBO expects that the lion's share of the government's losses on TARP will come, not from anything the Bush administration did, but from the Obama administration's decision to bail out the automakers and to a lesser extent, its bailout of homeowners. It seems that a big chunk of our cost may come from picking up the gold plated pensions . . .
