    I may never read another political article again.

    Writers are comparing him to Lincoln. A month from now, they'll be saying God himself should come down to receive advice from the Great Obamasiah. Hopefully, the Obamasiah will soon wave his hands over the oceans and lower them soon. If only Obamasiah had been in New Orleans on that fateful...

    What is up with gold?

    You can count on that part at least. If the fit does really hit the shan, you won't hear about it on the news. You won't hear about it from politicians. You won't hear about it from industry execs. Not at first, anyway - not until it is common knowledge. The initial realization will come...

    U.S. Could Pay Off Every Troubled Mortgage for 200 Billion: All Mtg's for 2 Trillion

    Christ, if the feds paid off all the mortgages, there'd be riots. The MSM would have nightly shows that have aerial footage of mansions bought and paid for by the feds, then interviews with poor schmucks living in squalor in some piss hole apartments. Buy all the ones in trouble and then...

    Get rid of car unions - then we'll talk

    That's why America is the place where we figure out how to do things. Then we hire serfs in crappy countries to put our things together for us. Meanwhile we can work on new design approaches for microprocessors, a better internet, cool finance structures (OK so maybe we still need to tune some...

    Jewish Female Judge Allows Florida Gays To Adopt

    While I don't know if I favor a gay couple adopting a couple boys, the adoption market has a short supply of infants. Toddlers are more easy to adopt. And when you get to 10, 11 or 12 you can take your pick. It's pretty understandable. Any kid over say 2 years has either had his last...

    Look who's now in line at the US Treasury. . .

    Left Out of the Bailout: The Poor http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20081125/us_time/08599186184300 Too bad the feds don't help out poor people. If we had welfare or medicaid or food stamps or unemployment insurance, that would help. If we had programs like that, they would automatically help...

    Is talent required to be a top chess player?

    You're not going to be the top anything unless you have some sort of genetic predisposition for it, unless it's something so out of the mainstream that there is little competition (like being the best 500 meter swimmer through Jello). There's so much competition for most things that there is...

    Citi Rescue: One Of The Worst Mistakes In History & May Collapse Financial System

    If I were C, I'd be funding the absolute worst #@^% loans and taking the biggest risks I could. If it pays off, I'd be a hero and rake in a fortune in bonus. If it fails, the taxpayer would bail me out. It's a no lose situation. OK, so that's an extreme example. But you can bet your...

    ponzi scheme?

    Anybody dumb enough to think they'll get 45% risk free ROI will eventually lose all their money anyway. So what's the big deal if they lose it to this scammer or some "widow" in Nigeria or some other scumsucker? It's just a matter of time. . .
