On today's op-ed page, Michelle Singletary's column (reprinted from WaPo) focuses on what Elizabeth Warren is doing with the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Republicans screamed bloody murder that she would be a firebrand radical writing rules guaranteed to take down our entire financial industry. Instead we find that she's doing steady, practical work to make consumers smarter about credit.
Will voters notice that once again the Republicans, through character assassination and lies, tried to sell us a bill of goods to protect the privileges of the industry that recently tanked our whole economy? Some of us will.
For readers of the Daily Courier in Prescott, Arizona. Comment and discuss. Be nice, now.

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:
There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.
If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.
If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
My previous comment was meant to go with "Editorial: Maintain your fear, but don't be scared", not with this "Surprise!..." thing. Apologies for the error.
ReplyDeleteI figured it out, but I wonder how it happened. Was it a software error of some sort?
ReplyDeleteI see comments on the Courier going to the wrong story once in a while, too. Editor error, writer error, or software, I wonder.
I was sure I clicked on the proper "comment" link, but then decided is was just another operator error on my part. I've seen that happen in the Courier, too, but chalked it up to somebody indulging in "Drunk Submitting" -- not unlike "Drunk Dialing" which, rumor has it, can sometimes happen late at night. (Let's hope the legislature doesn't figure out a way to include either in the DUI statutes.)
