The FAA denies a report that it's close to allowing Boeing (BA) to conduct 787 test flights to assess design changes to the aircraft's lithium-ion batteries. The agency first wants to see the results of Boeing's lab tests on the modifications, while it's also carrying out its own evaluation. Efforts in the U.S. and Japan to understand the root cause of the 787's battery failures are being hampered by regulators' lack of expertise. [View news story]

Fitch says the sequestration would not prompt a rating cut, but would "erode confidence" necessary measures will be taken to secure the U.S. AAA rating. "A failure to raise the debt ceiling in a timely fashion would prompt a review and likely downgrade of the U.S. credit rating." [View news story]

...the backside of a horse...
...the "sequestration" is going to happen. The leftists got caught with their pants down on this one. They should have labeled this "Cliff II, This time we all Die."
Once the public understands that modest cuts in the growth of government doesn't end history as we know it, Fitch will come along for the ride and our public class will be on a roll for once.
The Senate Finance Committee yesterday backed Jack Lew's nomination as Treasury Secretary by 19-5, but only after he'd answered at least 444 written questions. The panel's approval opens the way for a full vote in the Senate, and while some Republican are opposed to Lew's appointment, he's expected to be confirmed. [View news story]
You must keep in mind, these Senators are human beings too (please, stop the laughter) and they care for themselves, their spouses and their staff. Where are they supposed to go if the electorate turns against them? Citigroup? That Bank of America is too...maybe Buffett can get them into Goldman...
Bernanke Solidifies Gold Path To $2,000/Oz. [View article]
Mr. Rabie. Your heart is in the right place.
What did you expect from Professor Bernanke?
As for this:
"In the coming weeks Bernanke and the Fed leadership will likely reiterate their commitment to maintaining policy stimulus and slowly but surely the market will begin to believe them. I even believe there is a chance stimulus measures increase as early as the Fed's next meeting at the end of March."
Bernanke and the central bankers of the world are going all-in. For a time, that should goose gold upwards. But when the central bankers are all-out, what then?
Full disclosure: I told my mother she was crazy to buy more gold (in 1980) because there was no way anybody was going to pay $790..00 an ounce for the stuff. She was right and I was wrong.

Mr. Liu. I know you're a Chinese native and only have a modicum grasp of the English language (as do I and most Americans), but please, you're better than this:
"Capitalism it is where means of production belong to private citizens..."
I don't know whether to hug you or to call up J. Edgar Hoover.
And this:
"Socialism it is where it belongs to people represented by their government."
Mr. bakerme. You have a good rant going. I don't think for a moment that Warren Buffett had to meet "privately" with Obama at the White House--after all, Buffett's in charge of our "Jobs Summit" and he's in regular touch with Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emmanuel and actively engaged in...things...and... uh... development...and, well...maybe you're on to something. We have a real crisis going. Has anyone spotted Emmanuel?
Now, Buffett is not "crying silently all the way to the bank." Reuters is reporting that he is "trying to figure out how to get a camel through the eye of a needle." As for David Suzuki, who the heck is he?
"There are a number of reasons to pipe crude to Texas From Canada."
I got it! The Venezuelans will need supply once their economy collapses.
Folks. This has nothing to do with oil, Hillary Clinton, Obama, Buffett, the Department of State or the left-handed snail-darting lizard of the environmentally-sensitive flats of Nebraska.
It's a power-grab by greens and they seem to be winning this one.

"prussian economics?"
Google prussia--I can't find it.
This I agree with: "...ducks can't be turned into rabbits and persimmon doesn't look like grapes..."
In the old days, when we weren't looking over our shoulders, we would have put it this way: "...you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear."
Anyway, a comedian rises in Italian politics and that proves...the Italians are...fools?
...Al Franken is my Senator...
Ouch.

There ain't many American patriots defending Singaporean dictatorship even if he used to make the bullet trains run on time.
What are we defending?
The American Way.
