On The Better Half: Matt Taibbi gives his play by play commentary of CNBC’s demented interview with Alex Pareene, why anybody could do Jamie Dimon’s job, Jeremy Schahill and Glenn Greenwald working on investigating the NSA’s role in the US assassination program, the Republicans say “lets roll!” as they move towards government shutdown and your calls and IMs.
