Reading that, there is kind of a logic problem in there... Of course, believing that lying and adultery is wrong is not a "conservative" view necessarily. There are plenty of people who would call themselves liberal who would agree they are wrong. Also, the hypocrisy in this case is Mark...

So he put who his mistress might be seeing above his kids? Which person in the Bible was he trying to emulate then?

I saw him saying he wanted to be like David in the Bible - dust himself off after falling down and get back to work. Why wasn't he thinking about the Bible verse "Thou shalt not commit adultery" before he went on his banging week - and after his wife told him to stop seeing Miss Argentina if...

He admitted himself the affair has been going on for at least a year. And he has partially reimbursed the state for an earlier trip to see this woman while on an "official" trip. So he was using public funds to help him cheat on his wife. And his wife was insisting he stop seeing that...

The way it looks, Iran has the same problem that Europe had while the Popes had a big say in the government. Threatening Galileo didn't keep the Sol-centric reality of the solar system from being less true. If anything, the religious rule of the time was actually denying reality, and...

They must have known he is head of Republican Governors. How'd they get that one wrong?? The late-night comedians are going to have a field day...

This is getting tiring. It's worse when they go back to the old video and show the guy moralizing about how lying destroys credibility. So he knew it was wrong - publicly told people it was wrong - and did it anyway.

Letting Lehman fail worked out pretty well....

What prediction? Everybody knew it was going to 10% and higher a long time ago - that's why it was argued the "stress tests" for banks were using stress numbers that were too optimistic.

Ethics and Political Office? Oxymoron. Anyone claiming both at the same time is immediately suspect.

Isn't that the same as financial apocalypse though? If the banks deregulated themselves enough to form a functional oligopoly, then linked arms with huge counter-party risk, doesn't that effectively make they the system, not a part of the system? At that point, you can do anything you want.

Funny how they do the wrong things in both - hands-off regulating mortgage lenders (they had the power since 1994), and doctrinaire on keeping interest rates artificially low (Mr GreenBubble and now). Nice planning.

They are calling on Paulson and Bernanke to testify. Get the popcorn ready for that one.

I suppose it could be argued that the Fed and Paulson forced the merger to "save the system". But Lewis is still on the hook for violating his fiduciary duty to the bank's shareholders by not telling them how big a hole Merrill was going to blow in BofA. Unfortunately for him, the only...

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Investigators-say-the-Fed-apf-15495567.html?sec=topStories&pos=main&asset=&ccode= Investigators say the Fed threatened bank CEO WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congressional investigators say they have seen internal documents that prove the Federal Reserve threatened to...

Therefore, there is existing in possibility a God, who could have existed from the same moment as existence, who did all the Bible stuff...

Time implies a sequence, but time is relative. The entire "before/after" may mean nothing. What does time mean in 5, 6,...X dimensions?

Thx for the comments. A summation of my thoughts at this point would be: 1) "Potential" can be viewed as an expected outcome from an observation in hindsight of an event. 2) "Potential" can also mean "possible", in which a possibility is postulated without benefit of an observed...

Ha - saw a comedian crack a joke that "Medical decisions should be kept where they are - between your insurance agent and your banker."
