About that whole secession thing, can I have some money instead?
Texas Governor Rick Perry who threatened to secede because of Obama’s stimulus spending, and turned down money to help their unemployment program is now begging for that money. If only it wasn’t people who would suffer from rejecting instead of say, Rich Texas Republicans. Hmmm wait, tax the rich. This is starting to become very clear now.
Your precision bankruptcy of Chrysler and GM was a miracle…. now about those dealerships closing….
Congress is taking up the issue of those dealers that are closing due to the bankruptcy, to make them un-close, and help our automakers fall back into bankruptcy. Thanks Congress!
Libertarians should read this book
“The Myth of the Rational Market” examines the concept of a market that know what is best for it, and comes to the conclusion that the people that run the market don’t really know what is happening in the market, much less what is best for it.
Justin Fox’s The Myth of the Rational Market: A History of Risk, Reward, and Delusion on Wall Street is a book that chases down a provocative debate that the author discovered while working forFortune magazine: the idea that the market is driven by fear, psychological quirks, fads, and other “irrational” factors, and as such, it does not represent a set of prices derived from the decisions of millions of actors, but rather a set of nearly impossible to predict fluctuations that are about as useful as a series of coin-tosses.
As evidence for this I offer you this:
Want to revive the housing industry? I’ve got just the thing, it’s called an Adjustable Rate Mortgage
God help us.
The BBC exposes three fake psychics
The host of the show created a fake history, put it up on the website of an old Chocolate factory, let the psychics read it on their own, and then brought them onto the location. Miraculously, all of them spouted the same information. If only we had somebody to try this with our congressmen to see who will spout false information. Oh, wait, those are lobbyists.
Zell Miller is still a work of art
Says Rahm Emanuel should use Gorilla Glue to keep Obama in place. Is he a)really familiar with arts and crafts materials b) cashing in his endorsement with the Gorilla Glue Corporation, or C) proving that he can make a plausibly deniable racist remark in public like a real Republican?
Mark Sanford has a little more explaining to do
Apparently he liked to make those love jaunts in first class at very high cost to the taxpayer.
Iran’s former president says it is time for the release of protesters, a believable election
Yeah, that would be nice.
Pat Buchanan thinks the Supreme Court appointment should go to another white man
And his reasoning- get this- is that white men deserve more, and have done much more.
