      It's up!! NO, wait, it's DOWN!!

      No, it's UP!! Oh, it's DOWN!!!!

      No short selling. Mortgages for people who cannot pay rent. Government indemnification of the inevitable results. Central manipulation of markets.

      Well, at least they are buying iPods. But they all think Jobs has cancer. No, wait, they're buying cigarettes. Yeah, that's it -- CIGARETTES!!!

      Don't like the Dow? Wait a day or so.

      Obama or McCain: Who’s Better for Healthcare Investors?
      Nothing is more expensive than free health care.

      I have seen way too many "families" where the "parents" can afford 2 packs per day each of cigarettes to smoke in the same room as their kids, but "cannot afford" health insurance.

      The first ad probably sold lost of churros.

      What does any of this have to do with Palin refusing to give ol' Charlie a headline like "Palin: NUKE RUSSIA!!!" or "Palin to Israel: NUKE IRAN!!!"?

      > did you see they launched a rocket yesterday for their own satellite?
      I love google but that much power......scary.

      You are frightened by rocket-borne satellite launches by the private sector?

      California Gets $1.2B in Foreclosure Help [Housing Tracker]
      "Realtor" is a trademark and shouldn't be used as a generic term for "real estate salesperson".

      That said: real estate salespersons are opportunistic shysters?

      I'm shocked. Shocked!

      Leave the hyphen issue as it is as long as it truncates rants that make little sense with or without the omitted content. Folding chairs. Riiiight.

      The guy is a vegan, for cripe's sake. He eats grass.

      This article goes on like it was "Weekend at Bernie's" or something. I expect to see this kind of stuff at the checkout counter, not on SA.

      A Closer Look at the Impact of Higher Gasoline Prices on Driving
      It won't be too good in Mexico if we keep diverting corn from their tortillas to our gas tanks. Ethanol is folly. Drill here, drill now, and save a taco.

      Why Tax Credits for Health Insurance Won't Work
      I thought the "job creation" graph looked a bit biased. Then it occurred to me that you probably counted "B-jobs".

      What happened during the first September of the Bush presidency?

      Is the Long Commute Still Worth It?
      Well, telecommute! Or buy a condo downtown. All manner of creative alternatives exist.

      Not enough money? Change jobs! I hear they're looking for people to alphabetize M&Ms. Can't outsource that.

      A Closer Look at Obamanomics
      You can disparage this guy all you want, but the reality is that he is poised to take the reins, and he'll have a democrat majority in both houses. There will be toast, and it might be us.
