Do not confuse your college experiences with real life. Many of those smart asses will get slapped back into reality when they graduate, and are expected to do more than just try to be funny. Face it, thinking about stuff in these terms (those of one who is philosophically oriented) is sometimes difficult. Most will avoid such labors. Those that don't will determine the future path of humanity.

When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. So it is with monetarists, I believe.

The author fails o recognize the distinction between "money" and "currency". They are not the same. What he posted may apply to currency, but not money.

Or they have rejected it.

I could be FOS, but I believe I read that they do get reissued after a given period of "fallow". This likely would only happen in particularly populous states. Non-authoritative, YMMV.

I wonder if they took the bike racks away as well. Given that most bike racks are tubular steel of a larger diameter than the bikes themselves, that would seem to be a much more advantageous place to hide a bomb than the bikes. Sorry, this was a stupid and ill-conceived move by the NYPD/Secret Service/whoever.

He appears to have hedged himself out of any firm conclusions though.

IIRC, the Fed is constrained by law to only purchase securities backed by the full faith and credit of the US. Not sure a strip mall qualifies.

This is one where you really hated being proved wrong, no doubt.

Well, "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" was determined to be NFG, due to its glorification of marijuana, an illegal substance. Beer, on the other hand, is legal....

Are we willing to let the perfect become the enemy of the good?

Is this not the "logic" behind AntiTrust?

This is interesting. Do you have some background on this?

Their "caving" to political pressure is likely to promote some longer-term unintended(?) consequences: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124217356836613091.html

What, a party member stabbing his own leadership in the back for political gain? That never happens.

The person before Kendall had a problem, but seemed to translate it properly. Kendall has a point - your writing style seems to be of one who is trying to be clever rather than clear. Additionally, your penchant for typos and strange grammar also tend to detract from your message. If you are trying to impart a view, all that "gilding of the lily" is unnecessary.

FWIW, I believe Anthem is now in the public domain.

I am soooooooo with you there. I also concur on the season length. It is a rare athlete that can survive a whole season now. More "real" games will all-but guarantee more injuries.

Mysticism + integrity = null value. Unfortunately, it seems the Orren Boyle's far outnumber the Hank Rearden's in this world.

All the more reason for them to rein him in, no? Post-9/11, any attack MUST be answered swiftly and with extreme malice. Any leader that tries to "parse" a response will become instantly marginalized. They wouldn't dare risk that.

Indicators (mostly in the bond market) are still pointing to a big-time dip in the stock market. What we have now is a bear market rally - merely a bump in the road down. I, too, am investing a small amount in gold, but only a small amount. What I see is more of a deflationary event on the horizon. If correct, gold will drop in value (along with everything else but cash). So the gold is merely a hedge. FWIW, I am also investing in a firearm and some ammo. Also a hedge going the other way.

Perhaps you need to expand your circle of contacts.

Which, in and of itself, is disgusting.

Gee, I wonder how they propose to attain that level of decrease....
