My point is people like Michelle Malkin are letting the people who created this TARP bonus situation off the hook by now focusing blame on a tangeant outcome of the mess they created. I am simply trying to re-focus on those that did. And yeah, it's a long list. But come 2010, the people who created this mess need to be held to the fire, not the people who tried, even symbolicly, tried to do something about it. That's not the message people complaining about the tax vote are sending. As a software developer, as I am, you must be familiar with the term GIGO.

Admittedly, it is a convoluted issue, but it is unclear if you hold AIG, the Democrats, the Republicans, the Obama playground crowd, the Bush Administration, or God, or all of the above, responsible for the events of the last two, to six, months. Just far too many double, triple, and quadruple negatives. When I first started out in software development, my mentor and manager pointed out that I should avoid negative logic testing whenever possible, as the negative path eventually becomes too difficult to follow; it is a shame that the media, and most bloggers, ignore this basic concept. Perhaps you could restate your position using positive logic testing? I’m having a tough time following your convoluted logic.
