    Is the European Union doomed?

    Ummm....yeah. You can read 'engagement' any way you choose. I think any normal interpretation of my statement based on what I wrote meant 'diplomatic' engagement. I've only been making the case that the U.S. has been antagonizing Russia for years with 'missile shield' talk and by...

    bigfoot found???

    I want to see Sean Hannity debate the fake remains. He'll probably interpose both questions and answers (when the remains remain silent). Sean Hannity - he's so brilliant.

    Congrats Fed! Maybe CPI Will Heal Itself: Inflation @ 9.6% Annualized

    Nice! Kudos to the Fed once again! Core inflation rose 0.7 pct for the month, the largest monthly gain since November 2006. That left core inflation up 3.5 pct in the past 12 months, the fastest unadjusted annual pace since 1991. Overall inflation rose 9.8 pct in the past year, the...

    Is the European Union doomed?

    Let me ask a sterile question, and please disregard the manner by which the fighting is taking place in Georgia, and the rights and wrongs of the acts of combat there (a difficult request, I know). Does anyone think Russia is not acting exactly as a rational nation-state, given the stakes...

    Does John McCain Support Abortion Rights or Not?

    I'm so confused by his answers. Has anyone determined what his precise position on this issue is? http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/issues/95b18512-d5b6-456e-90a2-12028d71df58.htm Am I interpreting this statement (above link) correctly? He wants it to be a 'states right issue,' yet he...
