It stands to reason if Buchanan is on a list of worst presidents, Pierce would be right there with him. If Pierce had had his way, Cuba would have been part of the USA. JFK never would have had a missile crisis.

Buchanan makes the list of worst presidents from time to time, usually because of his acquiescence to the slave trade. However, he knew the constitution and he knew he couldn't stop states from seceding if they chose to do so. I would never include Buchanan on a list of worst presidents ever.

George HW Bush never should have signed the budget that broke his no new taxes pledge. He could have stuck it out knowing that the Dems in congress would eventually cave in because they didn't want to see the automatic cuts that Gramm-Rudman would have made during a government shutdown. He...

http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/05/justice/florida-teen-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 There doesn't seem to be any information on the donations collected for the Martin family during their road show. Why either of these two have any supporters, especially supporters willing to give them...

Back in the 90's during the big internet boom there was a guy who kept threatening to commit suicide every time the Dow made a new high. The Secret Service probably got to him first, he was always threatening to shoot the president. And the treasury secretary. And the fed chairman.

Wondering that myself. Maybe it is up to his defense attorney to file a motion for it. He will probably file a motion for dismisal based on the SYG law, and it will more than likely be denied and the trial will start.

When they went into the "guess the name" routine I shut it off. Pretty damb boring at that point. Anyway, if a guy completes his parole, and he is sincere about moving his life forward, he should be congratulated, not derided. There's no doubt that most parolees were scumbags and will remain...

Does she also write under the pen name Ashley Black?

This one appeared in a scan that I run for a pattern of subtley increasing volume on 05/08/2012. I bought on 06/13/2012 at 34.36, even though I don't typically like internet-related stocks because of their wild and unpredictable gyrations. In fact, my broker made me put up more margin on this...

The war of southern treason proved that traitors will be dealt with harshly. William Tecumseh Sherman is lighting the torches once again to teach these guys to get in line and comply. And this time he won't spare the black-eyed peas.

What substance would have killed him so quickly?

Last year it came in at number 3 on the Barron's list, this year it came in at 15. The "Buffett Tax" seems to have hurt Buffett's reputation. Here's a comment from Adrian Day of Adrian Day Asset Management: "Buffett's pseudo-folksiness is just a little too much. Also, I can't respect a company...

RE: News becoming entertainment, the Yahoo Finance page used to have mostly journalistic reports from Reuters and AP. Now it's mostly commentary from various organizations, although it is presented as news. Yahoo Finance used to be my favorite news site, lately I've been thinking about dropping...

Exactly, and I don't see how either of these two have any supporters. Putting myself in both of their shoes, I would have done everything differently. And I don't have to use my imagination in the case of Zim because I do an informal neighborhood watch myself due to a high number of transients...

Where does everybody fit in on that graph? I'm above Hispanic and below Asian. A house is like anything else as far as I'm concerned - if you can't afford it, don't buy it - so I rent an apartment. All of my wealth is in cash and marketable securities, unless you count my car and belongings. And...

nitrometer, where are you? Run KONG through your machine. I've got in a buy stop if it rises above 8.

It's true, I'm better off now than when Obama first took the oath. However, it had nothing to do with Obama. How do these people organize their lives in such a way that the government has such a profound affect upon it? Weird.
