ha ha ha, in a sense, I think he predicted a Hillary too, when He said in 1968 "there is no difference between the parties" and " the establishment controls the media and they'll "denigrate anyone who opposes them." Look what happened to poor Bernie, the media initially almost ignored him until...

I recently found this. It explains in Vidal's own words why Vidal mattered and should still matter. But even if you're not interested in the entire interview, which most of you would be I think, you should find the comments starting about 9:18 into the interview interesting. We also get to see...

"American Thinker" ???? -- just when I thought this stuff can't get any more silly than it already is.

I'd like to offer a heartfelt word of encouragement to those idiots here who are hoping for a Trump victory. It is too soon to abandon all hope. There could be an October Surprise via Wikileaks, i.e. "the Russians," and Hillary's server.

Goblins with wings.

At the very least he should be on the no fly list.

Let us not forget that water is the most important Greenhouse gas. When you use hydrogen as a fuel you produce water! More water vapor released to the air will lead to global warming, global warming will increase evaporation of the oceans, and by that positive feed back mechanism, we will all...

What honest business man were you referring to here??? Certainly not Trump.

Nitro, there is enough stuff that we should concern ourselves with already. Let this issue be between Trump and his accuser and let the courts intervene if the evidence warrants it.

And the greater ones assets consist of U.S. Treasuries the greater ones national debt burden because they'll be paid with dollars having increasingly less buying power than the dollars you loaned us to support our wars. Your real rate of return drops over time. This was what Lord Skidelsky...

This is more for Jem's benefit than the many other ET posters who do understand that there is a link between heavy deficit spending in multiple years and inflation. Of course deficits aren't the only cause of inflation, nor do deficits necessarily have to lead to inflation, particularly during...

Now you're getting perilously close to trolling.

Too bad uncle Milty (Milton Friedman) is not still with us, he could answer your question much better than I. You may have forgotten that the fed has billions of dollars of income every year. Not all existing dollars are in circulation in the U.S. economy. If Treasury borrowing has the net...

I also thought it was an interesting article. Glad you enjoyed it.

What a great hockey team!!! They must be great University.

You can influence down ballot issues maybe. Where I live, that would be my only reason for voting, if I decide to vote. I am not one of those naive believer in the virtues of democracy, but I do chuckle when I hear Washington politicians refer to the U.S. as a "democracy."

This seems a bit optimistic to me if you're a Trump supporter. Hillary is the more skillful liar. Trump's lies are too obvious. Trump has to depend not only on gullibility, as does Hillary of course, but also on the minority of voters with an "I don't care if the kids are in it, I'm going to...

Your chances would be worse if our presidents were elected democratically. You should be damn glad for the electoral "college". (And for the Supreme Court!!!) http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/electoralcoll.htm (from the New Republic)

When you are talking about the "bottom" 50 % you are including Romney's 47%! Right? A rather clever way to generate a gee whiz number, wouldn't you agree.
