Vividly
As the busiest retail weekend of the year begins late Thursday night, the differences between how affluent and more ordinary Americans shop in the uncertain economy will be on unusually vivid display. Budget-minded shoppers will be racing for bargains at ever-earlier hours while the rich mostly will not be bothering to leave home. (NYT, 11/23/2011)
So now the New York Times is using Black Friday to push Obama's class warfare agenda...
Violated
But the investigators currently looking at MF Global's messy implosion, specifically the disappearance of as much as $1.2 billion in client money, are now coming to a far different conclusion: that people at the firm likely violated securities laws in the handling of these customer accounts, and that those violations could ultimately turn out to be criminal in nature, the FOX Business Network has learned.

A Wall Street firm led by a former Republican governor who donated heavily to George Bush and was also a large bundler of contributions as well collapses and over $1 billion of client money goes missing. How much media coverage do you think that story would get? Which networks, commentators and prominent Democrats would be calling for investigations? Which would be explaining that this incident proves their point about the need for greater regulation or the corruption of Wall Street, abetted by Republicans? Make the appropriate substitutions - Obama for Bush, Democrat for Republican - and what do you get? Ho, hum...
Deceived
Along with the day-to-day work of science, the emails reveal internal debates, anger at skeptics and even deception from scientists investigation whether man's actions are warming the planet. (Foxnews.com, 11/23/2011)
Climategate Part II heats up! Of course, the outcome is preordained. An internal investigation will reveal that - notwithstanding what the Climategate scientists said in their e-mails - climate change is real and skeptics are ignorant.
Fall Into The Gap
We already have a huge welfare state, with entitlements -- Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid -- the biggest expenditure of the federal budget. Europe's welfare state is larger, with a slightly smaller "gap" between the rich and the poor. Yet its citizens also take to the street to denounce inequality. Puzzling, isn't it? (Larry Elder, Townhall.com, 11/24/2011)
Great point from Elder!
