    Did John McCain Really Say He Thought Rich Meant "5 Million" And Up Per Year?

    I just saw a commercial, and when I asked someone about it, they said they thought that, yes, McCain had made that statement during the debate at that Saddleback Megachurch gathering. Did he really say this? If so, he now has a rebuttable presumption of being dumber than dog shit. Even...

    America's news, whether magazine, newspaper, broadcast news, cable or radio, is controlled by 5 corporations. Conservative, Liberal, Libertarian, Green, Independent - that should bother anyone.

    CNBC Michelle Caruso Showin Boobies

    I can't believe anyone thinks she's attractive. She has a crooked smile, and looks like a guy for G_d's sake. This anchor is attractive: That's Lauren Jones, bitches!

    United State's Infrastructure CRUMBLES...What We Could Have Done in Just 7 Years

    I like Tom Friedman. I don't think he wants the U.S. to be like any particular country. I think his point is that we should open our eyes to the world around us and admit that certain countries have been doing particular things much better than we have for some time. A country that...

    OUTFOXED : Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism

    Great video. I have never witnessed a 'news' or media outlet so directly controlled by an actual political administration. BIG GOVERNMENT Conservatives (i.e. the new GOP, not the old GOP) may have a point that much media of yesterday was left of center (on a relative basis), but it was never...

    9.1 Million Barrel Build in Crude Oil. Wow. Get The Hell Out.

    People are sounding rather definitive on Gustav. By people, I mainly mean pundits and meteorologists. I can't ever recall such insinuations so early on that Gustav is going to be a 'monster' hurricane or that it 'should threaten rigs and infrastructure near Texas and Louisiana shoreline...

    9.1 Million Barrel Build in Crude Oil. Wow. Get The Hell Out.

    Hey Spanish - accepting a loss and having near-death experiences gives you the ability to exercise more sound judgment in the future. I screwed up when I didn't buy BAC when it was scraping 17, and when I didn't short BSC when I originally wanted to (when it was at $105 - I remember the day...

    9.1 Million Barrel Build in Crude Oil. Wow. Get The Hell Out.

    ...and then along came Gustav, and provided a rich trading opportunity. Any meteorologists in the house? Okay, so Gustav is tracking towards Cuba/Florida, or the open Gulf of Mexico? If it tracks towards Cuba/Florida, the time to sell the pop is done, no? If it tracks towards the...

    Obama Faring Badly Among Racists

    http://www.borowitzreport.com/article.aspx?ID=6922 ...in a head-to-head match-up, likely bigots chose Sen. McCain over Sen. Obama by a margin of one thousand to one, with a majority of racists saying they "strongly disagree" with Sen. Obama's decision not to be white. :p

    Brutual sell off coming?

    It's Official: Microsoft Vista Sucks. Just ask Microsoft Execs.

    Disregard the above comment. XP sp3 is working flawlessly now with Comodo Pro and AVG. I'm also using Avira Antivir (overkill - probably). XP is superior to Vista, and the comments in this thread only support what Microsoft knows. They've been trying to kill XP, and they've been...
