It's not like the feds handed the banks a stack of greenbacks and the banks did something with those particular bills. What happens is that the banks add bailouts to their cap reserve then go about their business. Suppose you ran a small country. Then some a very rich man named Potter moves...

In a way it's fighting a battle of retreat. Folks came to these shores to escape tyranny. And now we are suggesting that we give up half the country in our continuing retreat from the bad ideas of liberalism, socialism and massive government. It seems that eventually we'll be reduced to a...

So is anybody surprised that terrorists are trying to defend their actions here? And failing? It's too bad we can't have some competition from a culture with one or two thinking individuals behind it. Humping camels all day and stoning women all night might be fun in the desert, but it's not...

More lobbyists and campaign contributions.

Y'all remember that we tried that once, right? Don't get me wrong, if Texas busted away I'd be moving. And I'd laugh my @$$ off if some loser liberal states broke off and suffered the economics of liberalism alone. But that's not going to happen.

“I have abandoned free-market principles . . . ,” Bush said in a CNN interview airing the same day. Bush, Congress and the Fed. But at least Bush admits it.

The MSM has been reporting that a bailout is just around the corner for weeks. They kept on saying the senate was just about to approve the measure, again and again. Then the Whitehouse was set to do the bailout, again and again. But no bailout yet. Maybe they are right this time, blind...

Man, if we score that I'm going to find the longest #@^%^ CD I can and put everything in.

Holy crap. Better bring the bottle and maybe another, it's a read.

If somebody said the sky was blue, but hung around with marxists, racists and terrorists and was a product of a corrupt Chicago political machine, would that make the sky not blue?

They have (more or less) weekly newsletters. Strangely, the last one was in October 2007. If you put the major market indices on a big ol chart, I wonder which month would have the all time highs? Hmmm. . . :D

In so-called shame cultures, insults are much more significant than in the West. It's a very barbaric culture, and usually provokes a reaction a Westerner might expect if you shot his dog. You can find a link to an article about this and a discussion at...

I wonder what would have happened to the reporter if he threw shoes at Saddam?

Curious how the media kept telling us that Congress would pass the Automaker bailout. Seems like every day last week they said it would be passed that day. Then they kept saying the Whitehouse was going to TARP it. They sure got it wrong.

Hey, let's all play Goldie Analyst. [dons impressive suit and tie] :D
