The war's feeble opponents clutch at a last straw by Daniel Finkelstein http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3284-696788,00.html

When you log on to TS, you should get the following message: Message Improvement to the Futures Data – Announcing a direct connection to the CME and CBOT for data As part of our commitment to improve the delivery of futures data, we are happy to announce the release of our...

Went to the support site... The upgrade is now officially "expected in June," replacing the previous "expected in May." Kermit - As you probably know, upgrading to be "ready for Globex" isn't the same as actually implementing the new set-up. When I went to the forum I couldn't find any...

Even a few seconds of lag can be killer on a morning like this one. Most of the time, the charts were plus or minus a point or two off IB's quotes. Needless to say, that's too much. In the past, I've tried shutting everything but the main workspace down, or logging on and off, or deleting the...

Actually, OJ was found to be "not guilty," which is different from being found "innocent." In the civil trial, he was held to be responsible for the murders based on a preponderance of evidence.

Guess I'm in the minority, as I didn't care a lot for the original, mainly because I thought the BIG EXPLANATION for the scenario was lame (farming human bodies for electricity?), I never found the action very compelling, and other aspects of the story struck me as hokey and predictable. I...

Not at all. I've never pretended to be a "fencesitter" at all.

Not sure what you took as an insult. In my opinion, your demands, for instance, for full unedited footage of military operations suggest naivete - as likewise your apparent willingness to believe (and on the basis of dubious secondhand testimony) that special forces troops would use weapons...

Frankly, you don't seem to me to be in any position to judge the effect of the Pentagon's behavior on "fencesitters."

Generally speaking, your arguments reflect a total lack of realism about military operations. I'm not sure whether it originates in your hostility toward the military and US policy, in ignorance, or in some peculiar set of fantasies about the proper conduct of defense policy. Specifically...

Not unusual. And who cares? [b] The matter was discussed in some detail at various points in the saga. The only contradictions that exist are in press accounts, not in official statements, as far as I recall, but someone else will have to answer for you more definitively - presuming...

We'll probably be dead and gone before the Pentagon ever releases full unedited video from a Special Forces operation of any significance. For reasons that should be obvious, the military has always been reluctant to share information of potential tactical value, and should be. They would...

Both the BBC story and Scheer's column that was uncritically based on it have been thoroughly debunked. Many of the relevant stories can be found on the page from which the following summary originates: http://www.instapundit.com/archives/009660.php#009660

From "Emancipation Lecture by Edward Steers, Jr." http://showcase.netins.net/web/creative/lincoln/books/steersward.htm :

Here's an article that may be too reasonable and Administration-supportive for those who believe, for instance, that acts of terrorism in Saudi Arabia and Morocco indicate failure, or, conversely, that the absence (to this date) of 9/11-scale "megaterror" events means that the threat is...

They've completely dropped the ball with my attempt to change from an equities to a a futures account: Lost documents, broken promises, failure to respond in a timely manner to e-mails and calls. I haven't the slightest idea at this point what's going on. I'm a longtime client of...

Yah right. You made a lame call, based on the bullshit you were pushing about Stern and the refs and so on and so on. Everyone knows you're full of hatred and hostility toward the world. Sometimes, you keep it under control. Lately, you've been projectile vomiting your usual bile, on this...

he's not racist. He's just spiteful and self-righteous. When he picked the Lakers to win, it was a no-lose situation for him. Either the Lakers won, thus "proving" his NBA conspiracy theory and legitimating his ugly worldview, or the Spurs won, thus satisfying his hatred. Either way, the...

Oh, come on - that was TOTALLY THE CORRECT CALL. Coleman's hand was clearly in the basket from underneath, touching the ball. A child could have called it correctly. I'd say the shot was probably going in, but could have spun out. Doesn't matter. I don't think anyone even complained...

Good site for informed views from/on Israel: http://israpundit.blogspot.com/ Including this long-term view that I think some of you might find interesting - optimistic based largely on the new correlation of forces following the removal of the Baath regime in Iraq...
