I'm sure this guy makes the right wing nut jobs hanging around ET look almost sane, but only The Nation is reporting this story right now (everyone else is linking back to their website or just repeating what they read), so you might want to wait for some confirmation.

No worries. Greenspan said the recession is ending. We should see +2.5% GDP in the 3rd quarter.

A basement is generally regional in the U.S. If a home is built where the frost line is relatively low, the excavation cost to build a basement is obviously much lower than in an area where the water table is high or in an earthquake zone. So if you live close to the Gulf of Mexico, Cali or...

I think I passed out for a second or maybe had a mild stroke after reading an article from a liberal economist working for the NYT criticizing the Obama administration. He's probably setting us up for the counter punch in his next article.

Nope. Sure doesn't. Sounds like a great way for a new car dealership to eat $3500/$4500. I can't imagine a sales manager dumb enough to do it that way, but anything's possible.

That sounds bogus to me. I know several employees at a couple different dealerships in AZ. They do not scuttle the vehicles until after the rebate is received from the government. In other words, the vehicle sits in a parking lot behind the service department until the finance department...

Your post is full of valid points, but I don't think the consequences will amount to much of anything. From what I've heard (I know several people who work in new car dealerships), the VAST majority of clunkers are worse than worthless. Some, like the Volvo in the video, still have some value...

Right wingers criticized the stimulus bill because it did not have enough stimulus. NOW, the part of the bill that has the most impact on the economy (it was way too small but whatever) is getting slammed because...WHY? Oh yeah...it's a free country and they can throw logic out the window and...

I hope the H1N1 is nothing major but some people are so put off by the media's coverage—and it's hard to blame them—they're convinced it's just more misinformation and there's absolutely nothing to worry about. I don't see it that way. This thing is just a mutation away from killing 1% of...

1 billion divided by $4500 is 222,222 fuel efficient cars. That works out to about one new car per every 1000 licensed drivers in the U.S. Looks like we're going to need some more stimulus money.

300+ million people in the states are exposed to the normal flu every year. How many have been exposed to the H1N1 virus? Since 1958, 18 astronauts have died during a mission. During that same period, 540 traffic guards were killed. I'm pretty sure working as a traffic guard isn't 30 times...

You shouldn't need the vaccine, correct? Your body has produced the antibodies to H1N1 virus.

Manning and Vick in the same sentence? Really? Vick isn't even a Randall Cunningham, much less a guy that has started every game since '98 and won something like 70% of his games. And using completion % isn't the best way to judge a QB, but it at least gives you an idea what you're working...

I won't miss Fedor vs. Brock. I would like to see Fedor crack Brock's cheek bone, but Lesnar has surprised me so far. He still punches like a bodybuilder, but his tight punches on the ground look brutal, not to mention his endurance looks strong. It should be one helluva fight.

I am no right winger, but damn, I heard the 911 call and saw the video. How are liberals defending this bogus case of racism? Could the cop have diffused a (artificially) volatile situation? Maybe. Do he do anything WRONG? Hell no. I don't care what color you are, if you're running your...

:D :D Please explain to the rest of the class simple statistics. I'll start by giving the definition of arithmetic mean (the "average" in average life expectancy): ar·ith·met·ic mean (rth-mtk) n. The value obtained by dividing the sum of a set of quantities by the number of quantities...

Actually somebody already mentioned the Dolphins. We'll see how it all plays out. I imagine all Vick cares about right now is the $$ (not that I blame him), so the team with the deepest pockets will have him signed in a few weeks. Unless of course NE pulls one of their magic tricks and signs...

I thought the Fed chairman was limited in what he can do as an investor. I'm sure if Ben had made 100% last year, he'd still be hanging from the Washington Monument by his balls.

Sounds legit. This certainly changes things. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gl3rMTzOOByD5HAsnYUHaEdy1NdQD99NNOF00

:D Now you're thinking. Plenty of hugs and kisses and tucking him in at night would have surely made him a less angry tyrant. Maybe he could have sparked the U.S. of E. and avoided the whole conflict, including the mess in the Middle East.
