I am no fan of taxes but I believe that cutting the deficit should take priority over cutting taxes. I also strongly believe that any time the federal government gets us into a war it should be required to immediately raise taxes to cover the full cost of the war, including all long term health...

Because Ron Paul is not a slimy, toad sucking, Constitution shredding, war mongering, neocon dirtball. He tells the truth, and that scares the hell out of the Republican establishment. Of course, he also scares the hell out of the Democrats, for much the same reason.

I get emotionally distressed when I get a bill. I am happy to know that in Tennessee it is now illegal to send me a bill.

The billions of dollars wasted on bailing out GM could have created more jobs if was invested in a better business.

The very claim that the United States will "go into default" if the debt ceiling isn't raised proves that the claimant believes we have reached the stage of pure Ponzi finance -- we can only afford to pay the interest and principal on maturing debt by getting even deeper into debt. If that is...

I saw that book. As I recall, it said absolutely nothing about his trading methods. No rules of entry, exit, or money management. Nada. Just a lot of psychological bunk. Here's a more detailed set of rules on how to make $1.9 million: Sell 64,000 books about how to make $1.9 million for...

Just remember. Keep repeating "Diversity is our greatest strength" often enough and eventually it will be true. Or not.

I also harbor no ill will toward the makers of that marvelous video. After all, I realize that my odds of success with the female sex are definitely better when I see so many men with at best half a testicle. And they keep us amused.

I just think that video is the best dead pan humor on the net.

If you can watch this without cracking up you are made of stone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_uRIMUBnvw

No. If the price behavior is a martingale in the strongest sense (meaning that the expected future price is the same as the current price when you take *all* available information into account) then a trader will not be able to make money except by luck. Of course the lucky traders will be...

A "racist" is a white conservative who is winning the argument.

A vast number of woman won't date a man if he doesn't meet her height requirement. So why is not wanting to date a man because he's black any worse than not wanting to date a man because he's short? Women will say, "I don't get turned on by short men." No doubt true, but what if a woman...

The choice of questions and their wording left a lot to be desired, and I don't assign much credibility to quizzes like this. But for what's it's worth, my top score was paleoconservative (83%) and my bottom score was neoconservative (8%). Which does tend to confirm my belief that these two...

I agree. I oppose homosexual marriage because I don't think children should be raised by homosexuals, but it is a matter for state legislatures, not the federal government, and not judges legislating from the bench.

Your brain is predisposed to find patterns in data, whether they're really there or not. (It's even more predisposed to see faces, which is why so many people see the face of Jesus when they spill their coffee.) It has long been understood by finance experts that market prices look very much...

I do sometimes make money being long stocks. But just about as often I lose money doing the same. It's enough to drive a man to trading options.

An edge is a set of conditions under which a trade has positive expectation. (More precisely, an expectation positive enough to warrant the risk taken -- highly risky trades that on average return the yield on a treasury bond aren't worth making.) The edge may be explicit rules that you could...
