   “The story begins in Spring, 2008, after blah blah blah housing…..” intones Frontline.

   …and exactly where I stop watching. This story begins long before 2008, and this ‘documentary’ is jawdropping in its audacious exclusion of SO much of what we know now.

   That this pablum passes for public examination distresses me greatly.

   Excuse me?

   First, and probably most importantly, the story the documentary is trying to tell is the blow-by-blow of what happened last year. How we got from a place where most people thought was good, or at least not FAIL, to where we are now.

   But secondly, and the part that I find most audacious from Chicken Little johnny-come-latelies, is where were you 5 years ago. Oh, that\’s right, at anti-Iraq war rallies. If the regulatory system was really a problem why didn\’t we hear anything from you then?

   Maybe you\’ll stop reading, because these are from the so-called MSM (also known as THE ONLY PEOPLE ACTUALLY CALLING AND INTERVIEWING PEOPLE, SO MAYBE THEY AREN\’T THE DEVIL)…but I am going to post some highly recommended reading.
