the noise is an auctioning off of souls. i'm seeing politicians say what they're saying for a benefactor. everything they them to do everything they want to do, a person we used to call in the '60s a pig. that's what i see today. the people we used to call pigs want is what they wanted in the vietnam era, wars. you can bet on that one. and they want, of course, low taxes and regulators off their backs. they want old rich people not to worry about estate taxes. i'd like to see some character out there, wouldn't you? wouldn't it be great for some of the republican candidates to stand up to the money guys and say if you want -- find yourself another patsy. now that would be a case of character he and that's "hardball" for now. that's for being with us.
