Due to the tragic events at Fort Hood yesterday, this post was delayed out of respect for those who were lost and wounded. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families, friends, and all those serving at Fort Hood.
Bleary eyed, but sated with my celebratory Belgian pecan waffles, turkey link sausages, numerous [...]

Since Obama likes Rap so much, I figured a title taken from Flo Rida’s “Low” song would be the perfect title for Obama’s current poll ratings. Let’s put it this way: they could be better. In fact, they could be a LOT better. You know, this is when the politician claims that [...]

Is Mary Schapiro a liar? Are other FINRA executives also liars?
Fully appreciating that merely asking these questions is aggressive by its very nature, I do not ask them in a derisive fashion. The fact is, the answer to those questions in the eyes of Richard Greenfield is an unequivocal, “Yes!”
Who is Richard Greenfield? I had [...]

US Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) and Former International Monetary Fund chief economist Simon Johnson discussed the state of the economy on Bill Moyer’s Journal and it is must see video (more below the fold). Even though this is something I read and write about regularly, it is shocking to hear just how dysfunctional Washington [...]

On the heels of President Obama’s speech on Wall Street at which he called for meaningful financial regulatory reform, I welcome submitting to him and the American public the following video clips. These clips are from Fox Business News “America’s Nightly Scoreboard” with David Asman on September 3rd.
While President Obama and Congress may believe financial [...]

Normally I would never quote Frank Rich. Endless copy excoriating Hillary Clinton in favor of Barack Obama during the primaries rendered his columns unreadable. Imagine my surprise to see Mr. Rich put down the Kool-Aid jug for a moment in his NY Times offering, Is Obama Punking Us. Let me start by [...]

By now, surely you have heard by now that Goldman Sachs, which has gotten a ton of your hard earned dollars, is now rolling in the dough. Oh, yeah, baby - they are handing out some major big bucks to, well, themselves. I am sure MANY of you will appreciate this:
The average Goldman worker [...]

Ted Van Dyk’s article in today’s WSJ, Obama Needs to ‘Reset’ His Presidency cautions that Obama must take a time out and find “a reset button for domestic policy.” Interesting that he uses the words “time out” – something one would tell a misbehaving child. Surely, the President’s reckless spending and use of [...]

Being an avid gardener, I was heartened to hear earlier this year that so many economic landscape experts were predicting and hailing the advent of “green shoots” this spring. So I set out to patiently wait and watch for the first sign of those precious little sprouts of green. But none appeared.
The spring [...]

That’s President Serene Jones, of Union Theological Seminary speaking. She continued, “Justice is what love looks like when it takes social form.”
Wow. This is but one of the profound statements made by Dr. Jones throughout the course of Bill Moyers’ “Journal: Faith and Social Justice,” which also included Dr. Cornel West, formerly [...]

CNN’s John King interviewed General Colin Powell Sunday as Powell airs doubts on Obama agenda. Here are some interesting remarks as covered by Jon Ward of The Washington Times:
Colin Powell, one of President Obama’s most prominent Republican supporters, expressed concern Friday that the president’s ambitious blitz of costly initiatives may be enlarging the [...]

I got bored with fast-forwarding through Hannity last night who devoted an unbelievable 45 minutes (!) to the Miss California non-news story, so I checked out Rachel Maddow. Her guest? The always compelling Eliot Spitzer, whose recent remarks to CNN’s Fareed Zakaria were covered at No Quarter in two posts, the last of [...]

Can Barack Obama’s horses and men in the persons of Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, Larry Summers, Paul Volcker, Rham Emanuel, Sheila Bair, and their minions put Wall Street together again? The glue and putty in the form of trillions of dollars of taxpayer funds and commitments is still wet. Mr. “Humpty Dumpty” Wall Street is [...]

Talk about your marketing ploy, which I, along with others, have been doing for a while now (most recently, “The Campaign’s Over, Obama: It’s Time To Lead“). But the incomparable Chris Hedges has done a remarkable job at highlighting just exactly how true that is (and it is true - his campaign won the [...]

Last evening on NQR’s Sense on Cents with LD, I proposed that the Obama administration would not release individual results of the Bank Stress Tests. I further added that I thought the administration may encourage stronger banking institutions to channel funds to weaker institutions. In so doing, these stronger banks - such as JP Morgan [...]

Rumor Starts On Wall Street the Recession is Over.
Searching for explanations for how well the markets are behaving despite the overwhelming gloom of unemployment, bank insolvency, government interventionism and the worldwide collapse of trade, manufacturing and resolution, I ran right into the blunt, unexpected, fresh rumor among the traders at the end [...]

Nuke Provocation Is The Thing This Year.
The rogue Kim Jong Il regime of North Korea is a proliferator for hire — Have Evil, Will Travel — and it only moves when there is money in it. The apparent sudden announcement by the Kim regime that it is turning out the IAEA inspectors, walking [...]
