How many Jews serving in today's U.S. military?

President Obama strongly criticized it.... Saying the failure of officials in Washington to act on immigration would open the door to “irresponsibility by others,” he said the Arizona bill threatened “to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust...

This could be VERY bad for the President. This article isn't from some right wing blog but from Chicago's NBC website. http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/The-Six-Secrets-You-Need-to-Know-From-the-Blagojevich-Filing-91848634.html

I follow global politics as much, if not more, than any American on this board. And while I'm riveted by the U.K. turn of events (Clegg's emergence), thoughts of a splintered U.K. electorate don't consume me more than a moment after I click off the Telegraph and go back to viewing a random...

Chuck Norris covering a few thousand contracts.

Well, the irony is that Deutsche Bank and Soc Gen received an almost identical payout from AIG as GS did. So while the SEC is ostensibly prosecuting GS in the anti-bailout court of public opinion, those Euro banks would also enjoy a greater competitive edge via these regs. And until repeal of...

Did you write this article? I didn't think so. It's usually good etiquette to either provide a link to the source or at a minimum, give credit to the author and/or his publisher.

So you're a "trader" who wants more restrictions on trading? Then you're a fraud.

Go into any city in the country and you'll find a Catholic hospital, Catholic high schools a dozen or more catholic grammar schools, Catholic charities with free food pantries.....

The high cost of Bloomberg isn't due to it's news feed but rather to it's immense analytical capabilities for fixed income traders.

I really don't catch your drift. Corporate taxes in the U.S. are the 2nd highest in the world, behind Japan. And ironically enough, both Japan and America have horrendous government debt levels and over the past decade, two of the crappiest stock market returns on earth. People don't get...

Married vs. single, let alone with kids, is a big diff. And yes at "only" 100k the standard deductions will vastly lower your taxable income. But now plug in the same deductions on 400k in income. You'll see a dramatically higher effective rate. Statists-as well as ignorant...

Not only is there no recorded evidence of racial epithets being hurled at Congressional Black Caucus members as they left the Capital-the subjects themselves are now backtracking and saying they were verbally assaulted a couple of blocks away. The Lewis incident was via a voice message and...

Was it gay bashing when Democrat's derisively called Reagan an "a B-actor" and W a "male cheerleader"? Compared to the directly race based comments by MSNBC's own Chris Mathews, VP Biden and Senate majority leader Reid, I credit Newt with at least being subtle.

Gawd, you're one of the few non-idiots on this board. These stupid fucks who inhabit ET are so clueless it's hard to imagine them getting out of bed. The popularity of a U.S. President among foreigners-not just Russians-is directly correlated to how WEAK he makes the U.S. appear on the world...

Who is painting it into something else? 1. Carter wasn't re-elected and I'd compare him-politically speaking-to Obama. Both were elected by an extreme "anti-GOP" backlash and despite both Presiding with decisive Democrat Congressional majorities, neither maintained voter traction after being...

Now, just 45%. If one filters Blacks and Latinos out of the sample his "white only" numbers are around 30%. He's imploding with independents who supported him decisively over McCain. Keep in mind that despite the "race card" rebuttal, Obama ran 3-7 pts ahead of Gore and Kerry among whites. Even...

In your estimation, is education valued by the Japanese? Would you be happy if we followed a Japanese like education model?

Illogical argument. You're saying, "entitlements over the past 8 years only caused a 10% increase in debt, so to say that future exposure from entitlements will be greater than the past decade is false." Entitlements such as SS, Medicare and public pensions have a risk profile akin to a...

Commenting? To make several thousand posts on the subject isn't pathological? Given that there's an intense political climate (i.e. an election) in the U.K, yet a Euro-born Canadian spends an inordinate amount of his life arguing about American cable television programing? Hey, if you think...
