I'm going to go ahead and start posting these in diary form here. They may be the only contribution I can give in the future so might as well start this series. They seem to be popular enough. And now Chuck Hagel and the "recovery" and bad January economic report all around on #Uppers.
Good Morning #Uppers Michael Hastings is right. All aspects of the Iraq war failed but (D)s won't say it.

The Congress is a totally dysfunctional place on foreign policy as well as everything else. Ali Gharib is right. #Uppers — priceman (@therealpriceman) February 3, 2013
SOD Leon Panetta said the Iraq war was worth it. If not Chuck Hagel expect someoneRW from Bush admin to be picked=Tweedle dee+dumb #Uppers— priceman (@therealpriceman) February 3, 2013
Seriously? We have to listen to know nothing Dylan Glen again? #Uppers — priceman (@therealpriceman) February 3, 2013
Guess what #Uppers? Grover Norquist is Winning Thanks to a Debt Ceiling Crisis Every Few Months voicesonthesquare.com/essays/2013/01… Don't be fooled. #FAIL

When we are having miniature crisis every few months on what was routine that is not winning. Sorry. It=being unable to govern. #Uppers — priceman (@therealpriceman) February 3, 2013
@therealpriceman isn't it possible that the strength and organization of the opposition differed substantially in these two cases? #uppers

GWB betrayed Ted Kennedy on NCLB. Kennedy was bitter about it because it was compeletely different than he envsioned. #Uppers — priceman (@therealpriceman) February 3, 2013
@therealpriceman There is a clear need for a basic living wage not just a minimum wage #uppers

RT @therealpriceman: Joseph Stiglitz is right. It's the demand stupid. #Uppers — Matrix Moma (@Trinity6215) February 3, 2013
This is the difference between Democrats and Republicans. Read this. dailykos.com/comments/11832… #Uppers Sad truth. #Uppers

Priceless. @therealpriceman (D)s don't articulate what they stand4. (R)s stand4 something awful but clear. Until it changes=screwed #Uppers — LCG (@libcommgroup) February 3, 2013
RT @therealpriceman: The downturn caused the deficit not the other way around- Joseph Stiglitz #Uppers

Transfer payments do not raise the deficit. It's a Conard, Conard+It's the lack of deficit spending=reason for weak recovery. #Uppers — priceman (@therealpriceman) February 3, 2013
No Ed Conard there is no structural unemployment. There is not enough employment building structures. #Uppers
— priceman (@therealpriceman) February 3, 2013
When (D)s+(R)s refuse to talk about full employment we're not going to get full employment just dumbass deficit reduction. #Uppers — priceman (@therealpriceman) February 3, 2013
Really Joe, Capital flows isn't important? Maybe you need to study our current account. We need to spend enough to make it up. #Uppers

If 93% of this recovery going to the 1% is good I don't want to see bad. #Uppers — priceman (@therealpriceman) February 3, 2013
Future projections on 2030+2040 from the CBO and others are ridiculous. #Uppers

Won't be up long, but thought some might like a diary on this.
Enjoy.
I do love
watching you educate them on the weekends man.
There are so many good exchanges during @uppers and not just from you but from other smart people as well it makes it worth it just to get UP
Thanks, man
Indeed. Evene the people who disagree with me and are more bullish on the President respect me in thse exchanges. Weird.
And lots of smart people.
just curious to your thoughts on the partitioning of Iraq
what are your thoughts on the partitioning of Iraq? It's not really discussed much these days but I'm curious to your opinion. I always thought it was the best idea. It's not like Iraq is a 1000 year old country. Kurdistan is practically a country to itself. I remember people acting like Biden was insane when he discussed this a few years back. Makes sense to me.
Course, before the Iraq war actually started I thought about buying several copies of the B-52s album Mesopotamia and send them to some of the various idiots pushing the war. Doug Feith definitely needed should have taken Fred Schneider's sage advice; Before I Talk, I Should Read A Book!
I thought Biden's plan was good
But that ship has sailed. It's a Shia country now.
