this is the 2nd article of yours that has been featured on Bill Moyers WebSite.
You are now running in the very thin air at the peak, Will.
I don't know of another level.
Congrats!
...I wouldn't be surprised if you receive an invitation for a live interview on his show.
Wouldn't THAT be something?
I grew up in New Orleans and experienced all the street cons first hand,
and have always been fascinated by low budget traveling Carnivals chock full of scam artists and bullshit artists.
I have seen Cons, Hucksters, and Bullshit Artists at their worst... and at their best.
Sometimes, I will play just to see how good the bullshit rip-off artists are.
I have some respect for those who achieve the Artist level.
Of course, the very best are attracted to careers in Politics,
and your diagnosis of World Class Bullshit Artist is correct,
but he is no match for the very best....Bill Clinton.
The BEST Artists leave the victim believing that he has been done a favor,
and Bill Clinton was at the top of this field.
Bill Clinton managed to convince the American Working Class that competing with 3rd World Slave Labor for their JOBS would be GOOD for them.
He was so smooth that many still BELIEVE that today,
so it is no surprise that this scam is being repackaged and sold again in the TPP.
DURec!
