i'm just checking." >> michael has ocd. it's a disorder that affects behavior. >> i think the best way to understand what relate to something that everyone kind of thinks of in their own life. so, "obsessive," in usual day-to-day language means "someone who thinks a lot or someone who's a worrier." when you think about "compulsive," typically when we're saying that in kind of a day-to-day way, we're meaning someone who's very particular. they're very neat. they're very organized. when you use "obsessive" and "compulsive" in "obsessive-compulsive disorder," though, it really refers to an anxiety disorder. and by "anxiety disorder," we mean that your anxiety system is kind of kicking on all the time and for, really, no good reason. >> in other words, when there's real danger, anxiety can be a good thing. it alerts us to the hazard. but people with ocd have anxiety even when theis no danger, and that affects how they relate to the world around them. >> what people do when they have ocd is they find that if they engage in some

michael, your response to that? that is ron paul. >> this man, this is the super predator thinking of the 1970's when that theory came out in the early 80's that african american people were inclined, naturally gifted with an evil genius of crime. this is horrible. this is almost ripped from the headlines of tarzan meets jane, and the jungle aspect of african american culture. look at the vicious stereotypes to form a theory ron paul articulates. it's not only scary, misinformed and if he is given power by the state to exercise his viewpoints, we're in for an orwellian future. >> joy-ann, what role do you think ron paul plays at this point? i have a feeling after saturday, everybody is going to be getting out, except maybe ron paul. he says it's a two-man race, he has the money to keep going. will this rhetoric dog the party? >>> they are stuck with him. ron paul really is the only actual alternative to mitt romney, because the evangelical vote is split. there isn't an alternative. ron paul won't be president, clear

michael is world-renowned. he comes from ireland. i would assume that because i think mexicans are half irish, i would assume there's something comparable in ireland to a tamale? >> there's absolutely nothing that compares the tamale. indeed, i don't know whether i should be up here on the platform because i don't know whether i'm an expert tore not. i know what's good and so far the first four are great. >> a-ha. tell us about your performance. you're here in the bay area until new year's. >> yeah. we're starting december 13 through january 1 right downtown in union square. there's a cast of 20 singers and dancers and we're bringing a little bit of ireland for a celtic holiday, a celtic christmas. >> to do what you do, how important is it to develop that diaphragm and make sure that it comes from way down here and -- >> well, you know, obviously you have to be trained. but it has to sound somewhat spontaneous. you know, i don't take it too seriously. i like to have a good time and i like everybody else to have a good time. we encour

thomas the big lie wall street has destroyed the wonder that was america michael thomas is a former banker he was at lehman brothers for thirty years he was a partner there and he's saying that now the excuse that bankers use over and over whenever there's a giant crisis this is the government's fault somehow regulations forced us to steal all your money to take your money your segregated accounts to leverage up one hundred to one they government forced us to do that we wouldn't have done that on our own saintly selves but michael thomas says once people realize how wall street made its pile understand how financier's get rich and what it is that they actually do the time will become ripe for someone to gather the spreading ripples of anger and perplexity into a focused tsunami of retribution to make the bastards pay properly for the grief and woe they have caused perhaps not to the extent proposed by h.l. mencken who wrote that when a bank fails the first order of business should be to hang its board of directors but in a manner which in pain is proportionate to the collateral dama
