I already have chosen to be the judge. You said Either you think there are conspiracies but can't prove them sufficiently (else they would be general fact) or you don't and therefore you have no motivation to prove the conspiracies exist. …

Either you think there are conspiracies but can't prove them sufficiently Or you never suggested there was one... Where I come from we have a word for people who put words in someone else's mouth. "Asshole".

Working in IT makes it feel like a "boo boo" in the datacenter that pushed those numbers out. Sites briefly publish mistakes more often than we all think because nobody advertises their mistakes.

I think Paul would be great, I just don't think he has a snowball's chance. Honesty in the capitol would be too dangerus for too many. For every Grant or Lincoln, there were a hundred JP Morgans and Carnegies and Rockefellers and Vanderbilts and …

Why do you care? I think it's nice when people take a tradition and make it their own. It infuses meaning into forgotten holidays and brings them back to life while banishing practices that don't make sense anymore. Buy-nothing day came from the …

Trouble is it isn't much conspiracy at all. Most of what he said is well documented fact. This is the main reason I don't sign the petition: it won't change a thing and Denninger is awfully naieve if he thinks that capitalism conquered the world …

What this is really about is that people aren't rational utility maximizers and this is why economists are pretty much wrong about everything they talk about. Economics is just politics with a euphemized name. The rules and laws are just there to…

Here is a link to the story where you don't have to log in. (I love when people offer me a link where I can give out my personal info to a large corporation - thanks so much. It is an even bigger bonus now that Murdoch owns them!) But, don't b…

Phew! I thought you were going to say that basing predictions on pink pony sightings was a fallacy.

I've also heard that Skyway is "up and coming". All these parts of town that seem to be in a little revival are going to be doing a LOT of backsliding when the recession gets set in deep. Don't believe it.

Jeez I hate to come in and be the jerk, but this feels a lot like the "boycott" where you don't buy gas on Thursdays because the oil companies really take it in the ass if you buy it on Fridays instead. I would love to believe that our collective…

Yeah, I must say that if you have cash in the bank, they see that when they do the credit report as well, so if you have no debt and by this time next year you have the same foreclosure on your recent record that any Tom, Dick & Harry might have…

It's still over the 2000 highs. I think the recent new highs convinced people we were due for a correction and they get the message that everything is fine because the new highs showed that in the long run, the market always goes up. Most people's m…

Clearwire won't grow until they decide to have a real service and support department. It's a great product but they need to get that part dialed in if they want to last.

This is one of the major issues in the loan industry: the public no longer sees the salesperson as doing sales, since they actually need the salesperson to explain what they need. It's a lot like going to the doctor was in the 1800's: all you kne…

I suspect it has been almost never more than 20% if you look at the last 5 years. In the past few years why would you want to put your cash into the home and save yourself 5-6% in [deductible] interest when you could put it into the market for 8-10%…
