New version 5 betas seem to have some problems with the new Digital Rights Management copy protection:

No where in the report does it cite sources for the 50 nuclear weapons. Looks like the neocons are trying to start a war again without being in power, using propaganda instead of facts, reminiscent of the Iraq intelligence report in 2003. http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/pubPDFs/PTF-Iran.pdf

Learn to read the facts before talking up a trade. 1,010 kg of LEU is barely enough to make one single very poor yielding nuclear device, one that is of less yield than the one North Korea tested. The lower the enrichment, the bigger the device has to be, that means this one device would...

The energy market is a free market? really? It is always better to let the government tax a little than let the speculators and manipulators jerk the markets and keep or lose a lot. To the average trader this will make no difference. So you start trading on some of the climate exchanges...

His name is Piyush Darbash "Bobby" Jindal. Nice enough fellow but he should be proud of his heritage and use his given name, as Obama has done. His politics is perhaps too conservative for most Americans nowadays and the same rhetoric of government is the problem is no longer going to...

Yes, it is Socks, the ex-first feline. No way could the architect of Clinton Boom years had been Robert Rubin, so it might as well had been Socks. Not since Socks have we seen such an intelligent face at the White House. The rise and fall of the American economy has certainly mirrored the...

Too bad, this is one job he could have been good at.

Obama administration is one that actually listens to its critics, something that GW Bush and Dick Cheney never did. Yes, even the audiences were not screened for political affiliations in Obama's town meetings.

Within 30 days of his inauguration, Obama has repealed some of the most egregious of GW Bush's policies, from the planned closure of Guantanamo to a clear no torture policy to limitations of the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program. The last time I checked, US controlled...

Have any of you read the bill? Why is the FIA opposing the ban of naked CDS? It is the primary basis for the financial collapse. Terminating CDS will not send it overseas. This is a global financial crisis, other nations will follow suit and terminate CDS everywhere. A naked CDS is...

Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed The upshot of this book by Jared Diamond is that the decision makers in a society are unlikely to make sound decisions if they are insulated from the average members of the society. Case in point: New Orleans, where the poor occupied the low...

Well, at least Moore has got some ideas, which is better than no ideas for most politicians. http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/message/index.php?messageDate=2008-10-01 Friends, <p> The richest 400 Americans -- that's right, <i>just four hundred people</i> -- own MORE than the bottom 150...

Typical conservative pasty white flag expletive rants. No solutions, but lots of whines. Let it be said that the economy will recover in spite of your loathing and fears and without your support.

It is short term (usually overnight) lending and it is not $2 Trillion but rather it has grown from $800 billion to $2 Trillion. It is the job of the Fed to provide short term liquidity. http://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/discountrate.htm

Your premise is incorrect. Politicians don't generally create problems on their own - they are predominately influenced by lobbyists - in many cases investors. For example, Wendy and Phil Gramm did not start out to destroy the US economy - it just ended up that way. The deregulation they...

Is this a top in gold?

How is Schwarzman hurting?

There are a lot of tax cut in the bill http://appropriations.house.gov/pdf/RecoveryBill01-15-09.pdf

What is so hard to believe? 40% of the stimulus bill is in tax breaks, which is what has broad bipartisan support - to give the money back to the tax payer to spend as needed. $1 billion for Amtrak - How do you propose spending money on rail infrastructure without investing in Amtrak...
