    TARP CEOs Use the Companies’ Jets for Personal Travel: WSJ Link

    If these guys flew in gold plated Gulfstream G550s eating pounds of Beluga caviar and washing it down with Cristal I could care less, as long as they hadn't taken TARP funds. But seriously, wtf. Enough is enough. Buy a f**king ticket on a commercial flight if you're going on a vacation...

    Obama's Ethics Problem Not Going Away

    I didn't start a thread every day or even every day bitching and moaning about Bush in the last three years like thre particular members here do regarding Obama - literally. It just gets old. There really should be a dedicated, consolidated thread for Obama whining, and there probably...

    A Tale of Two Depressions

    Thanks for posting that. It strikes close to home for me, and I know people that work at Jones Lang LaSalle.

    RIMM wtf happened?

    RIMM is done for. I know, I know, no one can no this for sure. It's implied to be a speculative position. Look at it this way: Viewed in the context of their incredible winning streak, where they had blowout earnings after blowout earnings after blowout earnings, this quarter was decisively...

    Obama's Ethics Problem Not Going Away

    I almost wish Obama had lost to Grandpa McCain, because the incessant whining from the extreme right wing is almost not worth having an intelligent president (even though I loathe his handling of Wall Street - Bush II Part Deux) in office for a change. Almost. We'll have to put up with...

    Showdown Time, U.S. vs. North Korea

    U.S. adds to missile defense system around Hawaii. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/06/18/us/politics/AP-US-US-NKorea.html?_r=1

    Olive Garden pulls Letterman ads

    I called her a 'stupid bitch.' The adjectives are complementary in that context. I don't know you well enough to know if you're a bitch or not, but I wouldn't rule the possibility out. I do know that you make some stupid comments on a regular basis. You blindly defend Bush II, like...

    Olive Garden pulls Letterman ads

    You and 'I'd suck W's boner' jfcquete are probably the two least intelligent posters in P&R. That's objectively true.

    Showdown Time, U.S. vs. North Korea

    That would certainly be a fascinating poker hand, and it would be interesting to see if lil' Kim is all bluff.

    Olive Garden pulls Letterman ads

    I'm going to have to disagree with you here. First, it was at least arguably ambiguous which daughter Letterman was referring to. As has been reported, Palin was attending the Yankees game with her younger, 14 year old daughter, Willow, and not her older, 18 year old daughter (Bristol; the...

    Retailers Head for Exits in Detroit

    You can add Gary City, Indianapolis, and many towns in Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, Alabama (check out Jefferson County), Mississipi (the Gulf Coast revival fizzled) and increasingly, Atlanta to that list. Anyone in a service sector state that thinks they're immune from the woes of...

    Olive Garden pulls Letterman ads

    This joke was in poor taste. Letterman apologized. FWIW - I don't think Imus, even though a cranky, non-funny, miserable person, should have been fired, either. Prediction: The longer Palin hangs around in the limelight, the longer the GOP will hang out in the wildnerness. Mitt...

    North Korea may fire a missile toward Hawaii

    Technically, Kim Il-Jong has the means, which has less to do with the state of the North Korean peoples' health. Again, I advocate any solution whereby the already brutalized North Korean people are NOT subjected to more tragedy, but that guy is truly irrational - either in that he's truly...

    Signs: We're About to Be Invaded

    Wow. That's exactly what I thought. Is that a physical monument or did they spray the sand black, or what?

    A Tidbit from Dave Rosenberg on Inflation

    I'm not sure. The generation of instant gratification, WoW, Doritos and pot may not be able to hold up under conditions our grandfathers faced in places like Iwo Jima or Omaha Beach. They'd be fine firing off munitions with a game-like controller, but Iwo Jima and Omaha Beach, The Battle...

    Signs: We're About to Be Invaded

    Yes, and that's just in the 'Technical Strategy' forums...what about P&R?

    North Korea may fire a missile toward Hawaii

    Never underestimate the pure insanity of this man: He will do it. I'm serious.

    It's On: W Slams O

    Both are true. The lack of regulation of CDSs and other derivatives contributed in large part to the meltdown (I won't blame Bush singularly for that, because that would be foolhardy), and the response to the meltdown was Paulson-Bernanke I, which spawned the original 780 billion dollar...

    It's On: W Slams O

    Everyone here who is supportive of Bush in his comments utterly fails to recognize how incredibly hypocritical he is as he set in motion the largest government intervention into private markets since FDR. If you fail to recognize this, it's indicative of why the Republican Party has...
