The attempt to blame Government for the fincancial crisis is a fallacy, and flies in the face of even a brief look at the facts. The credit boom and housing bubble were very widespread, including markets and assets which had nothing to do with low-income borrowers.The great majority of risky lending was undertaken by v...more

You forgot to mention you're an idiot.

I remember Rogers going back to the 1980s. I recall back then thinking he had a kind of a negative,  distrustful view of where things were heading, on a number of occasions. But his views subsequently missed several great bull runs. Not that we should ignore all the present concerns, by any means. It's worth noting tho...more

Oh shut up already with this "if Obama is re-elected" crud, it's all ignorant paranoia, maybe you enjoy believing all those "government takeover" and "socialism's coming" memes but nothing could be further from the truth. This is but another humdinger in a strange string of conspiracy theories but the real theat's at t...more

You couldn't be more wrong. Give Obama and the Dems control, you'll see the recovery we all want. The Republicans have obstructed a recovery.

Uh, oh sorry, Barry.. your types just love that sinister "alias" thing. Boogie man! Commie! It's the nation of first grade...more

This post gets six times more thumbs up than down (rightly so) yet if the post was a pro-Obama statement, the sides would be even at best. Which makes no sense, because voting for Romney is the very antithesis of the obviously popular message of this post. Go figure.

And I read tragic stories regularly of people of all ages getting mauled and/or killed by them. In some other countries they're outlawed. What's the fetish? There are so many other wonderful, more attractive dog breeds pit bull aficionados don't give a damned about, because the majority of those folks aren't true dog l...more
