John Stossel? Really?

I have, but they never control for race, sex, and income level. Therefore, the results are meaningless. Instead one gets the "if only they left out the high-poverty schools, the results would be spectacular", but that's not the way reality works.

As long as they've controlled all the variables to provide true equivalency, I'd be happy to look at a comparison. Link?

The problem with right-wingers, though, is that they might rant themselves to death.

Gee. All those people are friends of Obama's. Who'da thought?

Maybe. Supply clearly has the upper hand. And we're already seeing weakness, at least since 40 was rejected. I doubt the market is falling because I'm thinking the LOLR is down. :) Price could also revisit the daily SL at 4030 (+/-), but I don't know why it would given that 4000 is only a...
