Three of America's Best Boards

What about absurd executive compensation? How does that factor in? You touch on it with BRK.A but only with regard to the boards compensation. To me one of the biggest problems with boards is there approval of rediculous executive pay plans. To that end, take a look at Costco (looked into this after seeing someone else's post on SA). They could be mentioned here.

My Thoughts on Oil

Very interesting article and comments. Thanks.

To me it's all very sad that our elected officials are still acting in the best interests of special interests and not for the country as a whole. Obama promised change. Each and every day that is turning into an empty promise. Not that I think McCain would have been one ounce better. Both parties really have much more in common than they would lead on - self preservation and special interests drive all their decision making.

How much longer can this go on? When will a legitmate alternative to the Blues and Reds come along that will actaully receive public support. It's all very disheartening.
