1st paragraph from WSJ: "Citigroup Inc. may need to raise as much as $10 billion...."

Anybody besides me see any difference between these two statements?

I guarantee you that nearly no one "educated" in this country over the last 20-30 years will see the difference. And that's just plain scary.]]> Sat, 02 May 2009 23:23:45 -0400

Ah, not really. The truth is that God can buy and sell the entire world economy a trillion times with no more than His pocket change. Buffett's wealth, on the other hand, is no larger to God than a single mote of a dollar bill shredded so finely it would take an electron microscope to have the ghost of a chance to distinguish the individual bits.

The scariest thing of all is what lengths God will apparently have to go to in order to properly whittle the U S A down to size. The process is already underway.]]> Mon, 16 Feb 2009 17:14:40 -0500

The fly in the ointment with the rosy price savings forecasts if we redevelop the dual fuel vehicle is that Big Oil will jack up the price of CNG to about what gasoline is, or maybe even above it. See diesel fuel prices over the last 20 years if you don't believe it. Big Oil is never going to miss a trick.]]> Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:06:32 -0400
