The new Kepler Mission has discovered 700 new planets, 140 of which are expected to be similar to Earth. --------------------- Yo, I wonder if they need any bonds, treasuries, that sort of thing.:cool:

saying Obama's responsibility is to protect and defend the Constitution and the United States, not "fundamentally transform" them. Hate to break the news to ya, Obama is a constitutional law professor. If anybody can fuck with the constitution it'll be him. Personally, that for me was his...

Maybe this 1099 reporting project is to keep track of an underground or cash economy. If there are fewer credit transactions, more cash changing hands, inventory being purchased for cash and sold for cash, tougher for the IRS to audit that second set of books. The 1099 will leave a trail.

Do you think this would work with slim jim's? Sometimes I really rather would have something to eat.

Many of the elements leading up to our crisis are g-o-n-e. Greenspan, clinton, bush. community reinvestment act - Dead in water. Mozilo and shadow banks. Fannie and Freddie - 4 flat tires on that vehicle. ------------------ woo, underwriting standards are back in fashion...

I suppose we could either produce products or market products. Since no one is interested in producing things, too much work, too many regs, not profitable (ie mfg) then we must be marketers. Since we produce nothing, we have to buy stuff to sell and be a middle man and re sell. (hence...

Sorry. I always had black labs but a couple years ago I got a chestnut beagle just like yours. Good dogs. The first time I let the dog chase a squirrel, the squirrel ran up the tree and the dog kept running past the tree, clueless. {:>)

I agree. People don't do much of anything functional except eat, so all the advertising industry is selling is bs goods to satisfy emotional needs. Beanie babies, knick knacks, designer pocket books, (and currently "silly bands") etc. I used to be a buyer and the crap that ends up in the...

What do other countries do with their mentally ill? In the US we let them roam the street. (The mentally ill have rights) What programs do other countries have in place for juvenile offenders? (Children have rights) We probably incarcerate (or at least suspend) more offending law...

I'm not versed on world affairs but if the US is the most advanced and civilized in the world this planet is in deep shit based on the conduct of the "adults" running this country.

Do you still have the moustache?

Today Al Gore realized that he made the right decision when he decided not to run for president in 2008 ----------------------- Al Gore decided nothing. The Clintons wouldn't let Al run for Prez.:cool: The Bush administration left behind the perfect nightmare for the Obama administration...

Gessus Wayne that was funny.:D :D :D

Nice to have skill and luck in one article. I read a few pages, scrolled to look for the summary, which concludes with classic Graham, Buffet.
