Finally, people are waking up to the fact that its time to tell the short sellers to go home: A European market regulator announced Thursday night that short-selling of financial stocks in several countries would be temporarily banned in an effort to stop the tailspin in the markets. The move

Foxification-(adj) the process through which formerly respected news outlets are transformed into mediocre propaganda machines for Rupert Murdoch and his gang of cronies. Joe Nocera has a great dissection of how deep the reach of the evil Australian goes into the American news business. Fox News of course, has long

This post is for Phib’s chattering class. One of the most bracing things about going to a blog where hard core wingnuttery prevails-is having to defend common sense. It’s hard-because unlike what they would have you believe-facts are not relevant, and they are more than willing to attack you personally.

Watching Bloomberg today has been a bit eye-opening. First of all, they are talking about the immediate sell-off that occurred when the job numbers are announced. Then they had a rash of politicians on, including Michelle Bachmann on telling me how this proves that Obama’s approach to the economy failed.

“[Rand] had a habit of exaggerating her own suffering, and she often forgot to credit those whose ideas she borrowed and who helped her in more material ways. She humiliated her husband. She could be narcissistic, shrill, demanding, untidy, even unclean, and her use of amphetamines exacerbated her angry outbursts,
