Palin is irrelevant now, except for the part of the GOP base that will always be marginal in national elections, and her resigning as governor has only made her more marginal in any national election. Only an idiot would keep supporting Palin if he/she understands politics and wants to...

I'm totally fine with going to an all-out consumption tax, as long as they eliminate the income tax.

You have been PMSing so much lately, I've officially indoctrinated you into the Menses Hall of Shame:

I edited my comment. It was a joke, and a riff on 'are you a steer, boy?" from an Officer & A Gentleman. You're always free to disagree vehemently, of course, and you can even be mean and rude to me and call me names. :cool: Back on topic, it is indeed true that professionals that...

And how! Look at those perky headlights! That's one way to boost ratings, I guess, especially when you have a bunch of Dildoes like Dennis Kneale, Larry Kudlow and Bob Pisani running around making asses of themselves. More Amanda, less Kudlow...

That's high praise, actually. A few people here are awake and aware, and are in the process of protecting themselves. Then, there are the sheeple. Pick your side and live with the consequences. Time keeps ticking...

Microsoft is a piece of shit company that was purely lucky enough to have the only mass-scale available OS at a time when the PC was about to explode onto the scene, and benefited greatly from IBM's ineptitude and government contracts. Read 'Barbarians Led By Bill Gates' for a great biography...

I think you're making way too much out of this. Youth service has been promoted by many administrations, Republican and Democratic alike. If they have to wear militant uniforms, recite loyalty pledges, and are armed, I'll then be in agreement with you. A bunch of kids from the inner city...

Congressional mid-term elections. It will be hard to get anything through Congress in 2010, and that will include economic life support/stimulus/welfare.

Ahhh, the one hit wonder. Speaking of no hit wonders, anyone seen Abby Joseph Cohen lately, my favorite GS whore? I'd love to say she screwed her way up the ladder, but who the hell would hit this?: At least Meredith doesn't make you want to regurgitate:

Idiots. If they dare raise taxes on small businesses at this time in our history, they are the most clueless bunch of morons on any matter pertaining to economics, ever.

100 to 1 odds Justice does nothing in the form of charges or prosecutions. Rahm Emmanuel has assumed Hank Paulson's role in being the protectorate of Wall Street, as they both have Goldman Sachs DNA. Anyone see that damn change anywhere...

You may be suffering from premature liftoff. See your doctor ASAP.

As much as personally dislike Zuckerman, he's absolutely correct in his basic statement that the economy is far, far worse than most people believe. This will result in something that I believe will come to be called 'The Great Crash of 2010.'

Just read an article on TTAC about the new Taurus (which looks like crap). It starts at 27k, and most typically equipped dealer stocked ones will run 35k. Good luck, Ford. You'll need it in spades.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8139042.stm US loan defaults hit record level The level of people falling behind with consumer loans in the US hit a new high in the first three months of 2009, the American Bankers Association said. Credit card issuers have seen higher defaults...

Way above 13%. She's being diplomatic (as in not wanting to be blamed for panicking people). We'll see reported unemployment of at least 15% if not more.

The people with big money that earned it the old-fashioned way - they inherited it - are getting crushed, in absolute terms, right now. When they have to even think about spending money, their world has been rocked.

Yep. They extracted some concessions, but are still plagued by many legacy costs. The only way they'll shed them is through BK, as Chrysler and GM found out. Their cash burn rate is a grave illness and likely to remain so given weak auto sales market (now and for the long stretch)...
