The UAW contract for F weighing in at a staggering 22 pounds!!: <IMG SRC=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2219305>

If I were a UAW capo, I'd only make minor concessions that don't mean anything but look really good. Then I'd say "FY GM, go ask Congress for more money, we're not giving up anything else." GM better include some democrat issues in it's "plan" - like affirmative action stuff, a lot of money...

Sammy's been owned on this board something fierce. He's the incarnation of Wally, a serious loser. You can read about his claim about how the US was going to bail on Iraq "any day now" at http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51643&perpage=6&pagenumber=1 He had to...

It causes a great confusion to you (but many things do, I suspect). I can post as I see fit. I know, it "rocks your world." Look at the libtards calling me a racist. Do they offer any evidence? No, because there is none. They are trolls filled with hate. It's easy to see - where is the...

OMFG! 350 bps! What is that, like AA for US corporate bonds? 350 bps=3.5%, not that significant. Increased risK? Sure. Is Michael Milken sniffing around? No. Come talk to me when it's 950 bps.

Here's a new drug that turns people into liberals: <embed src="http://www.theonion.com/content/themes/common/assets/videoplayer/flvplayer.swf" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"...

Word on the street (via a Virginian Senator) is they're already planning the next trillion dollar bailout. They're talkin' 3 trillion dollars when it's all said and done. And when the tax-and-spenders get done spending, you know what's coming - the bill. 3 trillion dollars is enough damn...

You are easily confused. That post wasn't racist. Perhaps an education from your neighborhood elementary school would be of assistance.

In a lot of ways, Brooks is to the left of Bush. Not saying he's wrong in this article, but he's frequently touted as a conservative, when he's really about as conservative as McCain (which is to say "Not really").

Over the weekend, I read a story about the Bush Adminstration pushing through some sort of executive order about focusing on drilling for oil over alternative energy solutions. This was countermanded by somebody else in the administration because it was too rushed. We need 6 months or more to...

What? No mention of Elvis? No Area 51? No Bigfoot? No mention of the Grays (or is it Greys)? You gotta admit, that's one of the weaker nutjob stories posted on this board. You'll need some more spice if you plan to get any real attention. Maybe a couple of guys who lined the WTC with...

Damn. So much for the bottom. Geez.

An 'American' tourist couple, both sociologists, were walking the streets of a small town in Saudi Arabia. It was nearing the middle of the day and they didn't want to miss lunch at their ramshackle hotel - the only one in town and which always served meals promptly. They came upon an...

And speaking of camels: A nun and a priest were crossing the Sahara desert on a camel. On the third day out the camel suddenly dropped dead without warning. After dusting themselves off, the nun and the priest surveyed their situation. After a long period of silence, the priest...

A Captain in the foreign legion was transferred to a desert outpost. On his orientation tour he noticed a very old, seedy looking camel tied out back of the enlisted men's barracks. He asked the Sergeant leading the tour, " What's the camel for?" The Sergeant replied, " Well sir, it's a...

`Til you showed up with some hot babe for a long weekend at your summer place. Then you arrive to find your AC unit was stolen and wires ripped out of your house to be sold for scrap.

In New York, LA, Bay Area, (insert seriously overcrowded metropolis of choice here) maybe. But not in the Heartland. In most of the country, 200k a year puts you at the top of middle class if not in the bottom of upper class. That's the point of the article, though. For most folks, 200k is...

That's the thing. The OP is mistaken, most of the knowledgeable posters agree that we will (eventually) have inflation and perhaps a lot of it. The question we are all trying to get our arms around is whether we'll have deflation first and how much and how long. On one hand, we have the fed...

Even better, "We've got a very professional, bow-tie sportin' accountant over here who's giving us money, can you put a stop to this right now?" And his coworker knows to call the hoosegow to find him? I wasn't there, don't know the OP, but it sounds like an unlikely chain of events. But...
