Thanks, Donna. Believe it or not, I actually read articles from several of those publications. I really like Taki's Magazine and particularly Patrick Buchanan, a regular contributor. In fact, in his column there on February 26, Buchanan wrote, "Federal revenues are running at 16 percent of gross domestic product, spending at 27 percent. Wednesday, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke warned that a Greece-like situation, where creditors refuse to buy U.S. debt unless we raise interest rates to cover the rising risks of a U.S. default, cannot be ruled out."

Then Buchanan said, "...in 2012, the party of Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, and Ron Paul will have to tell the country how it proposes to end these wars without losing them, how to bring manufacturing back, and how to cut spending by $1 trillion a year, if taxes are off the table.", suggesting that if the GOP wins in 2010 and 2012 they'll face just a difficult a situation as Obama has now, with no real evidence at the moment of what changes they'll bring to the situation.

Wow! Where have I read that before? Here on TOTV Political? Hmmm, I think I may have written it myself!

The Weekly Standard's editor, Bill Kristol, is probably a lot further right than Newsweek's Jon Meachum is left, but that's not the point I was making. The important thing is that people take the time to read the opinions from both sides of the political spectrum. Otherwise, I guess I don't know how one could form anything close to an informed opinion.

And to BKCunningham...wow! If The New Yorker is a liberal magazine and Tim Geithner could be expected to be favored there, all I can ask is "what happened?"
