Like God doesn't have time to answer some starving kid's prayer for a piece of bread but he might have time to rig the lottery for this guy.

Establishment politicians from both parties would rather lose to the other party than to Paul. He threatens to resurrect the constitution - something unthinkable to the many realpolitik members of congress and their lobbyist buddies. As Paul's campaign gathers momentum concerted attacks...

In fact there are no plans, period.

For me he stood out in the first Rep debate because of what he said and more because of the way he said it. He was the only one of the bunch that didn't come across as a wily, calculating manipulator; it was a strange, almost mystical moment - a politician who actually seemed to believe...

Sometimes it's as if there's a CEO conspiracy to plunder and destroy every major company in the U.S.

Citi could fail. For all we know their books may be in total disarray. Sometimes all the credit in the world can't salvage a company. I'm not saying it's likely, but it's more than a remote possibility. $6.5 billion writedown only days ago, now this. Maybe $20 billion next week...

Citibank is gigantic. Possible domino effect.

Insight and intelligence are indispensable to uncovering one's own truth but, then again, intelligence can sabotage the sufferer because s/he is more able to concoct rationalizations and more able to counter logical arguments against her/his attitudes. It seems that we can get trapped within...

If people are using c-cards as a last resort it's an argument to reduce card rates to a more reasonable level. 18% - that's usury! Come to think of it c-cards aren't the last resort; the mafia offers competitive rates - certainly better than the department stores do.

Maybe just as well but not as often. The repercussions of sin in the Muslim world are pretty drastic. On the other hand a lot of activities Muslims regard as sinful we non-Muslims think of as mere misbehavior; a lot of the behaviors Muslims regard as normal we regard as sinful if not...

Greetings, Ursa. Here's my 2 cents worth: It's not so easy to change one's own mood because with every mood there comes an associated worldview. If a person is severely depressed s/he may not feel that there's any value in happiness; happiness is painted with the same gloomy brush...

Let's say longshot Ron Paul is elected president. Even if you regard him as a radical (considering the present context) you might concede that the damage he could do would be limited by the fact that he's only the president. The worst that could happen would be a stalemate between him and...

The best defense: Drugs=Fearlessness=defense. If you can afford the drugs.

Misspelling forgive is unforgivable.

Interesting post. Sort of a blend of Zen and Nietzsche. Not bad. Not bad at all. What do you think Supermax?

Apparently you don't know either God or Neil Diamond.

So you hung in. Gutsy.

Citi's huge. But forecast low is not bad ($30.00). Not a disaster. Trouble is.. these things grow and spread. Then the pundits revise their foreacasts.

Ten thousand pardons for my (mis-)use of the quote feature. The truth is it's just a tactic - having you furiously debate yourself in public. Looking through your post I don't really see where we're much in disagreement except perhaps on this point: We work both with and around the...
