Paul, is that you?

The U.K. stock market has been more responsive to the U.S.'s Year
3 stimulus than the U.S. market has itself. It shows Britain in its true colors: half a hedge fund and half the 51st state.
[Oh,] How humiliating!

Speaking of ... anybody think this is he?

I like the Uncle Tom negro above trying to dismiss me with his MLK crap. Malcolm X was the one who knew what was what.

Way to go, Google.  This is worse than the Soccer War.

And the Labor Board makes the front page...of the Huffington Post, so take that for what it's worth.

Nevertheless, a huge decision, with tremendous applications.  I'll spare everyone the pain of having to go to HuffPo, though for the conservatives, I'm sure the NYT isn't that much better.

I didn't know anything about that guy. He seemed like a good man. Then I got to the end of the article. My suspicions were CORRECT.

Generally I like what they've come up with, although I'd like to see them go further on nondefense discretionary spending.  They propose to freeze this at 2010 levels.  I'd prefer more like 1998 levels.

Well of course you would.

I mean there's so many savings we can get from something that is like 1/4th of the overall budget picture.

We should shut down the whole government, sans military, and then we'd really save money (while still running a deficit).

I like the proposals they made, but they focused too much on SS and not enough on Medicare.  Medicare is the real driving force behind future deficits.

Are you serious, W?

The venue was the Oval Office. A group of British dignitaries, including Gordon Brown, were paying a visit. It was at the height of the 2008 presidential election campaign, not long after Bush publicly endorsed John McCain as his successor.

Naturally the election came up in conversation. Trying to be even-handed and polite, the Brits said something diplomatic about McCain's campaign, expecting Bush to express some warm words of support for the Republican candidate.

Not a chance. "I probably won't even vote for the guy," Bush told the group, according to two people present."I had to endorse him. But I'd have endorsed Obama if they'd asked me."

Therefore, it shouldn't be done.  Got it.

On the other hand, I will agree with you about Medicare.

No, something should be done about it, but the debate doesn't begin and end with nondefense discretionary spending.

Also, did you catch how the bill advocates for a public option for the health care bill?  They threw a ton of red meat to conservatives, but included that.  Fascinating.
