edd browne said...: I was interviewed by a reporter
from South China Daily last year
after I responded to an e-mail.

Her greatest single issue of
interest was why Americans'
savings rates were so low.
I suggested that our general
economic stress was compounded
by poor education and
continuing overconfidence.

..… What did I miss ? …...
Inflation higher than Fed stats ?
Declining real incomes ?
Dying USD ?
Huge trade deficits ?
Huge budget deficits ?
Crime/incarceration costs ?
Lack of preventive health ?
Predatory/casino economy ?
Purchased governments ?
Savings disincentives ?
Endless boosterism ?
Weak litigation systems ?
Erosion of responsibility ?
Pump-n-dump markets ?
Passivity/self-indulgence ?
Corrosive pop culture ?
Lack of community ?
Ignorance of history ?
Fear of things technical ?; March 07, 2008 1:40 AM

Hopefully this bubble will crash soon and well thought out statements and facts will come back....; March 07, 2008 3:47 AM

March 06, 2008 2:02 PM

On MSNBC's "Tucker" yesterday, one of Sen. Barack Obama's top foreign policy aides, former assistant secretary of state for African Affairs Susan Rice, said of Clinton's 3 am phone call TV ad, "Clinton hasn't had to answer the phone at three o'clock in the morning and yet she attacked Barack Obama for not being ready. They're both not ready to have that 3 am phone call."; March 07, 2008 7:08 AM

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Did Barack Obama use indicted campaign fund-raiser Tony Rezko as a conduit to get jobs for people in Gov. Blagojevich's administration?

The question arises from a list of 39 people Rezko's lawyers said in a court filing he urged Blagojevich to give state jobs.

Among those on the list were two people who appear to have Obama links and a third who's now an Obama presidential campaign staffer.

But did the names come from Obama? His campaign staff's short answer: Don't know -- but it's possible.

"We do not know how decisions were made to fill specific state positions, and we have no records of any individual recommendations we were asked to make or made," says Obama spokesman Bill Burton "But we do know that Tony Rezko, among others, was helping to gather names for the positions coming open with a new administration, and, if it is established any names came through our office, we would have no reason to doubt it."

Barack Obama sure is a Chicago Machine politician.; March 07, 2008 7:27 AM

Interesting take on free speech I must say. I am looking forward that all of you white trailer trash dog face baldheaded whores are being ruled and bossed around by a black man, yeah baby take it up the ass from the first black president. I rapped about it in 1983 on my Fresh Juice album.

On another note, I'm hiring a sound engineer, so if any of you brainless monkeys working in IT have enough gray matter left to push a lever up and down, please feel free to apply. Morons who check ( ) “renting” when asked for type of residence don't even have to bother. I don't hire imbecile retarded dipshits.; March 07, 2008 3:46 PM
