At least Obama can release a government certified copy of his birth certificate. Can McCain do better? After 72 years and him being born in Panama after all maybe he is the one whose certificate will be harder to produce. While we're at it maybe he should be subjected to DNA testing to...

Would you want *anyone* to have access to your personal records? Including opponents and enemies? Are you willing to give out your social security number to *anyone*? Let's say the original certificate is allowed to be inspected and it is said to be genuine. Will you doubt that result...

Why should I have to spend money to file a lawsuit? McCain's campaign should provide his birth certificate for inspection the same way Obama's has. Has he? If not, why not? Why aren't you in an uproar over it?

Her comments are incongruous. Bad institutions should be punished. Okay Lehman was allowed to fail right? But she says by that time there were too many ad hoc interventions and the message the government was sending was unclear. Ask the investors in Bear Stearns if they didn't feel punished...

Southamerica you make no sense. Buffett's interests are known. The price and conditions of his most recent investments are known. It's pretty above board. Considering he did buy into these companies it stands to reason he thinks it is a good time to buy. Now he can publicly say nothing...

I wonder if the entire world economy is even worth 600 trillion. Derivatives are just paper right? Cancel all troublesome derivative contracts and make them null and void. That's what it will come to anyway. End of story!
