    Please tell me your thoughts on this economic cartoon

    Reagan broke the back of the USSR, so that was money well spent. Other than that, I agree with the cartoon's theme.

    See ya Miller, we hardly knew ye

    Maybe Warren Buffet is an idiot, too, since he's down, and follows the exact same investing thesis as Miller: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601213&sid=asNu6HYGu7eI&refer=home

    Texas executes another scumbag, NY Times protests (of course)

    The Catholic Church and many other mainstream religions oppose the death penalty, too, on the grounds that only G_d should be able to take a life - no matter how heinous the crime. Damn those liberal bastards!!!

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

    Microsoft now reminds me of General Motors in the 80s; Big, lumbering, top-heavy - in denial of the slow but steady share of the market being stripped away from it by everyone from Mozilla, Linux to Apple and others. And Microsoft Vista is the Cadillac Cimarron of OS's.

    Ban The Fed Money Supply Monopoly, Allow Dollars To Trade In The Free Market

    Yes, a privately owned central bank is necessary, and Thomas Jefferson, Ron Paul, Jim Rogers, and Milton Friedman are imbeciles, among others (many others), while Landis is a genius who knows all. http://hubpages.com/hub/Milton_Friedman_on_the_Central_Federal_Reserve_Bank “"...One...

    Ban The Fed Money Supply Monopoly, Allow Dollars To Trade In The Free Market

    Just ban the fed. They have no right to exist; they're a private corporation owned by a few families and their progeny, and they get to play faster and looser with Other Peoples' Money than any other organization in the history of the world.

    russia/georgia

    Russia is sick of having its borders eroded by NATO, as former satellite state after satellite state crowds under its penumbra, and Russia is not at all pleased with a missile defense shield being placed near its border. You can only push a nation such as Russia so far before some reaction...

    John Edwards by Enquirer. NOW, Obama by The Globe.

    lmao! From the very same page as the OP's article: Hey, OP - If you don't want to be tagged a tool, tread carefully with your sources.

    'The Perfect Economic Storm'

    The ultimate irony is that alleged conservatives, such as those belonging to the Bush II League GOP, just so happen to have been the biggest socialists of all. They love trumpeting the success of free market capitalism, absent government intervention in the slightest, when everyone is happy...

    'The Perfect Economic Storm'

    An excellent, well-reasoned, and balanced article, IMO. Not too alarmist, nor polyanish...a realistic assessment of where things stand and could be headed. Dedicated to Landis with love. How a local squall might become a global tempest By Niall Ferguson Published: August 7 2008...

    Latest Commentary from Mark Cook

    The problem with his forecast is it's devoid of any mention of the trending downward job numbers. I find that pretty egregious. The fed is powerful, but they can't compensate for rapidly rising unemployment, especially against a backdrop of massive financial write downs and tight...

    See ya Miller, we hardly knew ye

    Seriously, the guy had a 16 year winning record, and everyone is dumping on him because he got pounded recently (along with almost everyone else). I do not understand how people can give up on such a proven quantity because he suffered a downturn in the treacherous waters that have been '08...

    VLO buy alert!!!!

    Mvic, unless I'm mistaken, I do believe FTO has the highest sour crude throughput refining capacity of any refinery, at around 70% of total capacity, so it will have a cost advantage being able to buy a much larger portion of sour crude as its feedstock than competitors can. I believe has...

    VLO buy alert!!!!

    Landis, wtf, do you have to be so glib all the time? Anyways, I agree the refineries should run with oil under 120, and FTO and VLO will bust out with oil between 120 and 100.
