Michael Moore Stalking Lawmakers On Capitol Hill
Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore has spent the last two days on Capitol Hill buttonholing members of Congress and quizzing them on their banking-sector bailout votes.
“All the usual suspects have dodged us, but I’m moving a little faster these days so we were able to catch up with some of them,” said Moore in an interview with the Huffington Post.
Moore was spotted at a hearing of the Senate Financial Services Committee Tuesday morning, seated behind TARP watchdog Elizabeth Warren — baseball cap and all.
He spent the rest of the afternoon wielding his camera in the Dirksen senate office building, looking for members to go on the record.
In the middle of an interview with Rep. Elijah Cummings (R-Md.) on Tuesday, a bird above Moore relieved itself on the filmmaker’s shoulder. He brushed it off his jacket with the help of an aide. “Congressman Boehner is up in the tree,” Moore speculated of the Republican minority leader from Ohio. (He wasn’t.)

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
