Only a complete and utter fool believes that the gigantic mish mash that is Obamacare is actually going to save money. But Washington D.C. is full of fools and so is the Democratic party.

In 10 years they *might* have the first demo of a nuclear fusion plant that actually works. In the meantime another billion people will be added to the world's population, another 2 billion people will own cars, and more oil than ever will be needed simply to operate modern agriculture at a...

No, the cliche is the implication that somehow the Democrats are any better. Both the Republicans and the Democrats will spend us into oblivion.

Given what I know now, I would still do what I did in 2008 -- vote for a third party candidate, largely as a protest vote. Indeed, I will no doubt do that in 2012. Obama is a disaster. McCain would have been no less of a disaster. It takes a peculiar sort of simple minded partisanship to...

There are no carbon taxes in the United States, or in most of the other places in the world, particularly where carbon emissions are increasing most rapidly, such as China and India. Europe is putting carbon taxes on airline fuel, and China is fighting it tooth and nail, blocking Airbus orders...

Fortunately I never dream about politicians. My nightmares are bad enough as it is.

I don't think Dick Cheney was too old to get his very first heart.

philbloom can't be thehitman = american hero = Jake Jones because he actually opposes Israel having nukes, while Jake Jones worships Israel and believes it can do no wrong. What philbloom does have in common with thehitman is a dogged believe that America has been ordained Ruler of Planet...

It's always amusing to see the excuses liberals make for their favorite party, the Democrats, while they hate on the nearly identical opposing party, the Republicans. The Democrats controlled the White House and both houses of congress for two years. In that time they made no attempt to roll...

So, forcing people to buy government approved health insurance is not fascist? Jumping into a war without congressional approval is not fascist? Refusing to take a stand to get rid of the TSA is not fascist? (Yes, I know the TSA was created during the Bush administration. But when Obama was...

I wouldn't get my hopes up. When given a choice between strictly upholding the constitution vs. letting congress do whatever it wants the Supreme Court takes the latter course 90% of the time.

Just when did liberals ever say, "We've got to stop all this hating on George W. Bush"? From what I can see the enmity directed against Obama isn't any worse than the enmity directed against George W. Bush was when he was president. The only real difference is that no one was ever called a...

That's a nice theory. But what I see is this -- whites must walk on eggshells lest they exhibit any sentiment in favor of their own race and be accused of RACISM! Blacks can be openly pro-black and be considered respectable members of society. Far more blacks will vote for Obama because...

Black people (and white liberals) can openly say, "We want a black president!" but any white person who says, "I want a white president!" is cast into the outer darkness as a neo-Nazi or a Klansman. There are a thousand double standards like this.

I would rather see a plane get blown up now and then than have the 4th amendment thrown in the trash. This country survives hurricanes and tornadoes every year, it can survive the occasional underwear bomber. But, then, I'm weird -- I'm one of those kooks who supports Ron Paul. Most...

Sterilize all Democrats. That sounds like a progressive policy to me.

Is anybody surprised? If TSA agents can stick their hands down your kids' pants, why can't a cop arrest a reporter for being nosy?

Yup. Immelt would impress me much more had he taken a stand against the government handouts, even though they would benefit GE. Just where are those subsidies supposed to come from if the government doesn't "tax the rich" some more? GE also makes much of its money in the credit markets (or...

Since a warrant is basically a call option I don't see how it can avoid time decay. If I have a FOO warrant at a strike of $10, and FOO is currently at $5, the market will clearly pay more for the warrant if it expires in 3 years than if it expires in 2 months.

John McCain, a senile war monger. How anybody could vote for him is beyond my understanding.
