• MozesJan on Wall Street: Greed is good Hmmm. I think that this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb_R1-PqRrw would actually be more informative.
• Jacqueline Corbett on Default Swaps May Be Next In Credit Crisis I hope you don't mind, but I've posted your blog and the link to it at a new page I just created: http://www.cashmates.com/credit_default_swaps.html. I became aware of this diabolical instrument 'of mass destruction' over this weekend while listening to a Public Radio Broadcast (there's a link on that page) which proved to be both one of the most illuminating... and therefore the most frightening... bit of financial education I've learned of in years. I, for one, don't see the 'bottom' of this. It truly is "The Abyss". I am in the process of dedicating Cashmates.com to FEARLESSLY discovering a solution... of uncovering a new paradigm for living with the reality of what unbridled greed on the part of few has done to the billions of "innocent bystanders".. whose only fault and complicity seems to have been an excessive need for MORE... and for obtaining that more mostly on credit. I was once one of those people myself, so I know. But I also am somewhat of a 'reformed junkie' who has found, over the past half a dozen years, a 'better way'. I humbly welcome anyone's feedback and input... particularly POSITIVE input that can ultimately help alleviate the situation.
• Monty on W: How’d he do? And despite clear evidence of what this type of thinking can do to our country, McCain/Palin are still in the hunt!? WOW!
• Veronica on Palin hits Obama for ‘terrorist’ connection huerfano is a fine name With all modesty, I think I am more literate than you and palin put together (English is not my mother tongue). I have an excellent writing and speaking command of five languages and a degree in literature. Even though I am a foreigner, I know much more about your country than your hockey-mom does. She has demonstrated nationwide in her interviews how "literate" she is. No wonder the nation is laughing at you.
• Eveline Casteal on Palin hits Obama for ‘terrorist’ connection What the Republicans seem to forget here is that the Bush family were close buddies with Saddam Hussein and the Bin Laden family. The old Bush administration actively supported the terrorist group of Osama Bin Laden, as long as they were fighting against the Russians in Afghanistan. So who was associating with terrorists and got elected to presidency nevertheless? If Miss Palin were smart (which we all know by now that she isn't), she would leave this subject alone altogether, before others with more knowledge of recent American history notice that the Republicans have far more skeletons in their closet.
• huerfano on Palin hits Obama for ‘terrorist’ connection "A couple of days ago she not even knew" Are you literate?
• Joseph Canaillo on Palin hits Obama for ‘terrorist’ connection America has a new disease: palinoia
• Veronica on Palin hits Obama for ‘terrorist’ connection Someone should send this primitive hockey-mom back to Alaska, where she should take care of her youngest daughter and prevent her from getting pregnant. It would be a pity to force her to marry at her young age. Is Palin really able to read, write or spell? A couple of days ago she not even knew the name of a journal such as The New York Times. We are pleased to hear that she makes progresses towards political literacy. She can count herself lucky that she has not been asked during her debate with Sen. Biden more questions about Russia. If asked about Aleksandr Sergeevich Pushkin or Fjodor Michailowitsch Dostojewski I am afraid she would have answered that they are Russian oil magnats. My appeal to the educated American people is to vote for a person who is at least able to read and write. She has already disseminated too many lies and disinformation, so that no reasonable American voter with brains could ever be so naïve as to grant her credibility. It is horrifying to see how she is instrumentalizing her children for her “political” purposes, especially the baby. It does not impress me, it disgusts me. She is not even able to hold the poor baby properly.

• ilya on Vacation picture Leuke compositie. Grappig die vissen ook in de achtergrond. Waar? Hoe diep? Materiaal? Sluitertijd? :)
• John Sinteur on Sarah Palin Debate Flow Chart Sarah Palin has turned out to be the nation's inkblot test. Do you look at her and see: Someone just like you, a mom with 5 kids? A sexy, hot librarian in three inch heels? A ruthless, power-mad back-stabber? A small town girl who makes good? A big dumbass who doesn't have any idea of what the V.P. actually does? A calculating cutie who could charm the socks off of Putin? An idiot choking on her own vomit of nonsense? A born-again Christian woman with a big heart and purity of soul? An anti-abortionist? A small-time hustler who won the lottery?
• Mark on W: How’d he do? ...and yet, 1 out of 4 or so people in the US still think he's doing a good job. Even more think we should put a "mclone" of his in the White House for 4 MORE years. I want to be transferred to the parallel universe that makes more sense, please.
