Massive Synthetic CDO defaults?
lol Nick, I'm glad you didn't put your money into those banks. It's going to get pretty bad for them... I suspect they'll be nationalized eventually.

Massive Synthetic CDO defaults?
lol Nick, that was fascinating... I felt like I was sitting with this fellow in a dark bar (pub for you Brits). Not sure how much of it I believe, but it should be fun to see if his predictions come true in the next week. :P

Death of the dollar
Normally I don't use the word "dude", but after reading this it seems appropriate: http://warner.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/02/05/sometimes-a-president-is-just-a-president/ Dude.

Death of the dollar
http://www.fundmasteryblog.com/2008/06/09/how-far-has-the-dollar-fallen-and-why-whats-next/ Here's a GREAT blog entry from back in June of last year. It's full of good charts. I love the conclusion he draws in the last short paragraph: Heh.

BBC set to drop Carol Thatcher after she brands tennis player a 'golliwog' in private
Thankfully for the BBC, they don't have to worry about ratings like other channels do. ;) If I were a competing station I'd pick her up and give her a TV show called "Carol & Golliwogg - The Great Race" and it would be similar in style to American Gladiators only more messy (with Nickelodeon Slime and stuff).

Of course, just like they have a right to change the channel. I'm bombarded with offensive images and slurs every day, but thankfully I have the capacity to avoid them.

CBO says stimulus bill harmful to economy.
This isn't "far right", it's Economics 101. What Obama wants to do to the economy is like a doctor feeding his obese patients a bunch of chocolate sundaes to make them healthier. Ask yourself this: Why are the Democrats insistent on getting Republican votes for this stimulus bill? After all, they could easily pass it without Republican votes because of their majorities in the House and Senate. The actual reason is because they know it will fail to help the economy. They want the Republicans to share the blame when it does.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/feb/04/cbo-obama-stimulus-harmful-over-long-haul/ There's the link. And here's a good editorial by Charles Krauthammer, a fascist neo-conservative who has excellent writing skills and a decent grasp of economics: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/05/AR2009020502766_pf.html

One KNIFE stand??
What a lunatic! She should be charged with disfigurement, not just "unlawful wounding". Hopefully he's the last guy she ever sleeps with. EDIT: Someone made a good point in the comments - if the man had done this to the woman, he'd never see the light of day again and it would be all over the news! Instead this is just some tabloid story.

So how about that Brett Favre character? I heard he's good with the pigskin. :D

Scottish men are HAWT! (yes? no? maybe? your thoughts)
I've noticed Scottish guys are generally hot, until they reach about 28... then they break down worse than most. ;) It might be because they smoke and drink heavily. My best friend is of Scottish ancestry, and he's a stunner.

It's a remarkably accurate portrayal of what black people look like... ;) Also, as a white person I'm offended by the creepy wooden bodies and pink cheeks we have. Those must be "crackerwoggs".

It's "snow-go" Britain (again)!!
Quit being proud of your crappy weather, winigwl. :P I feel like such a grinch during snowy weather because I hate it, but everybody else seems to either enjoy it or tolerate it. Bring on the global warming!

NFL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_football According to this, the English invented football and the Americans adapted it. Mark is English, isn't he? Ergo, he knows more about football than any of us! ;)

Congestion charge to get the green light in Manchester!!
Who's idea was it that the general population knows what a good leader looks like? That's silliness. The Greeks invented many awesome things, but democracy wasn't one of them.
