There certainly wasn't this much anger over KBR and Halliburton giving Cheney huge sums of money in stock options. or killing soldiers with faulty electric wiring or polluted water. Or sending unarmored humvees to Iraq. Or throwing stacks of hundreds around as a football. on and on.

Selective rage...only in America.

2. When that happened, 25% of the population was not yet without work....
Right now people are hurting, and I happen to be one of those hurting, jobless people.

3. Still, it did not go unnoticed! It was 'the talk' in many political
