I feel bad for whatever poor bastard of an intern in Brownback's office was tasked with drawing all those scary shapes and connecting them with scary lines.

In other news, Weiner swells with anger.

So, about that crippling inflation that was surely on the way thanks to socialism:

Some of the world's leading investors are becoming more worried about deflation and are re-shaping their portfolios to prepare for a possible period of falling prices.

Some of the world's leading investors are becoming more worried about deflation and re-shaping portfolios to prepare for a possible period of falling prices. Rick Brooks and David Weidner discuss. Also, August is a good month for stocks. Mark Hulbert tells you how to prepare.

Bond-fund heavyweight Bill Gross, investment manager Jeremy Grantham and hedge-fund managers David Tepper and Alan Fournier are among the best-known investors who are bracing for a possible bout of deflation, a development that could cripple global economies and world stock markets.

The investors cite weak economic figures and a mounting consensus that global policy makers are reluctant, or unable, to take further steps to boost economic growth as reasons for their market positions.

Or maybe these guys are all just Glenn Beck plants driving down the price of that sweet, sweet gold so his loyal viewers can scoop it up in anticipation of the UN invasion.

Howard Gleckman holds the key to my heart

Washington  is about to spend months trying to answer the wrong question. Instead of reprising their partisan, tiresome, and largely unproductive argument about what to do with the Bush tax cuts, President Obama and Congress ought to be asking a very different question: How do we build a tax system capable of generating the revenues we need to fund the government we want in the most efficient and fair way possible?

The debate over the Bush tax cut will get us nowhere. Already, Republicans are accusing Democrats of wanting to raise everyone's taxes. Democrats accuse Republicans of pandering to their rich pals. They are like eight-year olds: "Did not. Did too. Did not."

Just think how much more productive it would be if we reframed the entire debate. I was asked about this today on the syndicated NPR show Here and Now, and it is a fair question. Why have we allowed ourselves to remain trapped by decision made nearly a decade ago? Some pols would have us believe the 2001 tax cuts were the Ten Commandments, fixed and immutable for all time. But why not think outside this particularly small box?  What sort of government do we want? And how should we pay for it?

Maybe they are right about the politics. Who knows? But I do know this: Until Obama and Congress ask the right question, there isn't much chance they will come upon the correct answer.

We just need representatives there to serve and not to have a cool job for themselves.

So, it turns out that Jimmy Carter WASN'T history's greatest monster.

Here is one of those moments in time where you can stick your head in the sand and say liberals don't control the media, its all conservatives all the time in charge....

A deal to sell Newsweek to a 91-year-old stereo equipment magnate will be announced later this afternoon, a move that will signal the end of a half-century of ownership by the Washington Post Company....

According to several people who have been briefed on the process, Mr. Harman's bid appealed to Mr. Graham and the Post Company because Mr. Harman has said he would retain a significant number of the magazine's 325 employees. The financial details of the sale were not known, though one person with knowledge of Mr. Harman's bid said last week that he would pay $1 in exchange for absorbing Newsweek's considerable financial liabilities.

So let's be fair, $1.00 isn't exactly the market value, it's actually much less than that since apparently Mr. Harman is going to take on significant financial liabilities in exchange for the right to lose money from here to eternity on this white elephant. The Washington Post is quite literally giving the entire operation away just to be out from under the obligations – and that tells you all you need to know about what they think the future holds for Newsweek.

But in a fascinating twist, the Post appears to have several offers that were much better than this, offers which would have given their own shareholders a much better return on these assets and on all the money that's been wasted this past year.   So why did they turn down those offers and instead, make their own shareholders take a beating by giving Newsweek away for free?  Because those nasty high bidders might have actually fired some employees and <gasp> CHANGED the editorial direction of the Magazine!  We can't have that, oh heaven forbid, we can't have that!  So better to take a huge loss and  auger this entire operation into the dirt before even considering whether maybe, just maybe, they've been doing things wrong.

Harmon's wife is Jane Harmon a Democrat congresswoman from California.........yep better to give it away and keep it in the DNC family. I bet it was some nasty evil Republicans trying to monopolize even more of the media. Way to stick it to them Wash Post. Aren't you the same guys that are ignoring the Black Panter/Eric Holder scandal? And don't you employ Journolist founder Ezra Klein? Wait he writes columns for NewsWeek as well.

I am sure its all just a coincidence........glad to know shareholders took it in the ass to have liberals keep a job. Would that be saving or creating a job? Stimulus works!
