Reid is almost a 3-1 underdog on Intrade.

Find us then, the penal code on it.

Its a felony to offer someone a Federal job in exchange for a political action.

I know that for some reason it's been a big no-no even before "ethics reform". Theodore White's, The Making of the President:1960, contains a bit where White, while interviewing JFK on his plane, relates how an unnamed Governor told White that the candidate had offered him a post, in exchange...

Today's Gallup Poll Obama Approve 46% Disapprove 47% Jan 2009 Approve 65% Disapprove 15%

Logical has nothing to do with it. It's ILLEGAL. Are you going to tell me I had a $9 sell stop filled when the market is readjusted to a $10 low? Can't be done.

I used to argue for Globex adjustments instead of busts too. But I was missing a key part of the puzzle. The adjustment argument ignores a VERY important fact. Many, many of these sales in the bustable range were sell STOPS. You can't readjust a stop fill to a price range that wouldn't have set...

The OP is a tool. Period. It's not as if Thursday was some, once in a lifetime, bust fest. Happens ALL THE TIME. Even pre-electronic it happened frequently. When I was in the pit it wasn't at all rare that the market would explode, 18 bid, 19 bid, 20 bid, 24 bid, 27 bid...then a broker on a...

Certainly, all those countries have a history of leftism. And no, other than actual Soviet satellites, 1960's Greece was in a commie class all by themselves. Real stable history: "After liberation, Greece experienced a bitter civil war between communist and anticommunist forces, which...

Huh? Greece was so far left that in the 60's they almost elected a quasi-Communist government. In what realm to you consider powerful unions as something other than a leftist creation?

Great post/question.

Merit? She's not even a jurist! I'd say one's record as a Federal judge is a pretty well regarded criteria. And I'm sure-if you were actually an American-that you supported Clarance Thomas. Are you as stupid in real life as you are on ET?

If someone is nominated only because they contain those characteristics, then that act is also bigoted. It's bigoted against anyone who isn't gay, female, Jewish. What if an NBA owner said, "we need diversity. Our fans are turned off by all these black players. Even if the guy sux, I want a...

Here's a few reasons why you are far stupider than Palin. 1. You can't even spell her name. 2. You link to a website that's inane. To wit: They say the Constitution is "thoroughly god-free document"-but then they quote the preamble, which clearly states, "the Blessings of Liberty. 3...

1. Dyke 2. Broad 3. Jew 4. Leftist 5. No experience as a judge. Sounds like the perfect Obama nominee......

It's happened before. It'll happen again...

I presume your point, if I may finish your thought, American institutions are failing because of affirmative hiring practices.

No, being on a "watch list" shouldn't in itself be reason to suddenly deny your Constitutional Rights. What if a totalitarian government decided to issue a blanket watch list with millions of names on it?

You can go back and forth with the bullshit. I didn't exactly see the Daily Kos giving Bush high fives for saving millions of lives in Africa from his expensive AIDS vaccine initiatives, expanding medicare drug benefits for low income seniors, or expanding child tax credits so that we're at a...

Actually migrant farm work is one of the legit "fields"-no pun intended-attractive to Mexican workers. Hence, for decades, Mexicans have been allowed into California for that specific work. Yes, American's will work low paying jobs. In many parts of the country-and in many two income...
