I think Favre is dying to go out like Elway and will keep playing until he's sidelined with an injury that gives him a permanent limp, he wins another SB or no one will sign him as a starter. I'm not saying I agree with it, just he's obviously serious about playing if that bicep has fully...

Next time, Bill, say the small gap in life expectancy has more to do with culture, genetics, the way data is collected and climate than it does with the medical system. After all, do you really expect the U.S. life expectancy to increase at a faster rate with a government run health care...

His answer makes sense? :D ...and Canada's life expectancy is higher than Wisconsin's, not that I'm saying life expectancy is the best way to gauge an entire medical system.

I believe the seeds of WWII were sown not long after WWI. If Hitler is erased from existence, a more competent (less insane) leader takes his place, and half of Europe ends up speaking German (and half of Asia speaks Japanese). Not to mention Germany would have built the first atomic bomb...

I quick search shows a dozen or so teams should take him, or at least that's what the local media has to say. I think it would be easier to list the teams NOT interested in Vick. As soon as hell freezes over category: Seattle :D Falcons :D Cardinals Titans Colts Giants Unlikely...

CFL? Nah, they wouldn't want him. How about arena football? Fortunately for him, somebody in the NFL is going to give him another shot. It will be hard to come back from a two-year absences and suddenly reach the potential people thought he had in 2001, but I'm trying to stay positive...

I heard good things so I watched an episode. I thought it was awful. Just terrible. What am I missing? I don't think I can sit through the first season and the rest of this season just to figure out every episode is just as bad as the one I watched. So far HBO has Deadwood and Rome...

So far the July high temperature has fluctuated between 101 and 115, with 109.1 the average high. Sounds like a normal Phoenix summer to me. May and June seemed mild though.

CRE in Phoenix is brutal right now. It's hard to judge the percentage of vacant businesses in the city, since "for lease" signs and new construction sites with virtually zero occupancy tend to stick out like a sore thumb and skew one's perspective, but it seems like 1 out of every 10 is empty...

Hard to know exactly what happened of course, but it's my understanding the CEO tried to play Cuban and force him to hold his shares by calling him and telling him the inside information, knowing damn well Cuban was obligated not to sell or risk the SEC doing exactly what they did. In other...

I take it you didn't read the post I quoted? Or did you quote me by mistake?

Apparently Krugman has an ax to grind with Jews, since he criticized current policy pertaining to GS. Might as well throw Jon Stewart, half his staff and a large percentage of Jewish GS critics in the in the antisemitism crowd. They have issues with the way GS is allowed to conduct its...

Well, the popular media is finally taking notice. Sweeping changes are sure to follow. :D <table style='font:11px arial; color:#333; background-color:#f5f5f5' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' width='360' height='353'><tbody><tr style='background-color:#e5e5e5' valign='middle'><td...

I understand the health care system in the U.S. is screwed and malpractice insurance has reached ludicrous levels, but with all the idiot doctors (and idiot lawyers) out there, many don't deserve to be in business anyway. In the U.S., there are many quality doctors and a fair number of...

If we have one of the weakest economies in the nation, the nation as a whole isn't doing too bad. New construction is at a standstill and commercial and residential RE values were crushed of course, but life goes on.

This is news? Pull out a map and study Michigan and Ohio. The inner cities have been dying for a long time. People have fled Detroit, Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus for decades now. Going a little further out, St. Louis isn't much better. Indy is okay in the city, I...

It's hard to take Forex Factory serious when 98% of its members couldn't pass a seventh-grade spelling test. (Okay, okay. If you remove the "English is not my first language crowd," it's 94%.) I'm sure the forum has its share of knowledgeable members, but damn, I can only read so many posts...

Yes, it looks like Rogers is early on the inflation trade (Schiff too) and it has probably cost both dearly, but just because they're early it doesn't mean it's not coming. I think it's going to be one helluva ride once the economy recovers in 201x. P.S. Didn't you say you lived in...

I have to hand it to him. He has survived for several years in front of a camera and is highly compensated for his...uh...for his entertainment? Besides, without Cramer's followers who would buy all those sham wows and that crap the guy with dyed hair and beard sell on CNBC?
