Ejnoying every second of this hearing. Everyone is grilling Paulson. One senator said " You dont expect any of us to believe what you are saying!"

Paulson is getting a good treatment today. this is how should be always be treated. Puke on Paulson!

I'd like to think that this would make some difference, but frankly I think that it's amounting to grandstanding on the part of our representatives. Just so that they can say they tried.

The original recordings of the first humans landing on the moon 40 years ago were erased and re-used, but newly restored copies of the original broadcast look even better, NASA officials said on Thursday. Another example or our government hard at work.

I'm afraid AB is right.

But here's funny stuff from Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) on Hank Paulson from Dylan Ratigan's new show) :

"Well, Hank Paulson never should have had that job in the first place. He had a $700 million conflict of interest. [http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/12/VY36.html ] And everything that he did while he was Treas. Sec. -- every single thing that he did -- has one explanation: What's good for Hank Paulson?"

Alan Grayson is ON FIRE. So is Dylan Ratigan. Also, watch Eliot Spitzer try to chime in and say "Hey, me too, me too! I'm an anti-bailout guy, too." More green shoots.
