Texas leads as California dreams on By Newt Gingrich

I thought Newt was dead, but no, the latest from the hot-head in the FT....


Sustained reckless budgeting financed by endless tax increases reflects exactly the kind of society that Americans do not want.


Hey noot! in the picture you will find the legacy of Bush years with tax cuts and big government spending... another reason why I disconnect from the hypocrisy of the political discourse of republicans. Repugs needs to reconnect to their fiscal conservative roots before long.

Newt Gingrich is a phony

Reps/Newt would argue that tax proceeds increased during the Bush taxcut years. It's a shallow argument although factual.

In the bizarro world of the Democrats, you raise taxes and raise spending at the same time, because none of those idiots has ever heard of a Laffer Curve. Welcome to California!

So pick the evil of lesser degree and vote for it.

I knew this kind of political trash would attract you. I trust you are doing well.

In the bizarro world of the Repugs, you lower taxes and raise spending at the same time. "Deficits don't matter", my ass.

When it comes to voting, I did vote for what I consider the lesser evil. The rhetoric of the repugs scares me.

What can I say, I'm a political trash fly. ;-)

I'm doing well, so much so, that I've begun to pay attention when I hear "tax the rich", but then again, I'm not rich enough to ignore it.

Thug vs Thug: Porsche 1, Hedge Funds: 0

The latest drama is fun. VW became the largest company in the world, in terms of market cap, ahead of EXXON on a little financial market coup d'etat orchestrated by Porsche. Apparently VW stocks was on the way down, I don't know the details but many Hedge Funds (HF) were short the position. Fine. The price goes down. Porsche starts buying the anonymous float (and probably some private too?), but the point is they build a 73% market share without many people noticing. In the US you would need disclosure after 10% or so. Point is, that many HF wake up and realize that their short position is about to lose a lot of money. So what do they do? those idiots? they short cover all together, which means they buy the stock to cover the short. The stock zooms up, by a full multiplier and overtakes EXXON. Porsche makes A KILLING in the process and has robbed the city robbers to the tune of "potentially $30B". Not bad for a days worth of work. PS: hey, psst Porsche! With t

Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way. -- Pulp Fiction Jonathan Schwartz has this wonderful quote about me in a recent interview 15 minutes with the great man : Q:Turning to MySQL, how long do you think it will take before MySQL is fully integrated into Sun? We saw with Red Hat and its JBoss acquisition that this can be a slow, laborious process.... A: First, the personalities involved. Let's just say that integrating Marten Mickos into a company might be easier than assimilating a few of the JBoss personalities. Marten is a joy to work with and will make this integration work. I got to hand it to you Jonathan. You hit the nail on the head. JBoss was full of prima donnas, a lot of them actually; it drove me nuts. My developers were bitching all day long, my executives were even bigger fat cats, my sales guys were testosterone freaks. Even the receptionist had an att
