My thoughts on the LA Times Video story.

Looks like the LA Times dug themselves a massive hole. For those not familiar with the story - hope you enjoyed your stay under the massive rock - they have a video tape, now known as the Khalidi tape.

I have spoken about Rashid Khalidi in my earlier videos and that Obama's relationship with this raging anti-semite is a bit disturbing. Of course the legions of obamacolytes denounce this allegation as guilt by association. Everything to them is guilt by association. If Obama was caught stabbing a homeless man with a knife, they would seriously blame the knife.

Anyway, the video is of a dinner where they are saying their byes to Khalidi. Some other notable inidividuals like Edward Said are also there. Clearly a festive occasion for the flag burning, Israel hating types.

Now as much as I am curious about this tape, I cannot imagine for the life of me that it can have anything that incriminating. Short of Obama parading around in army boots with a swastika on his arm screaming Death to Jews, how bad can it be? Despite it being a pro-terrorist orgy of sorts, it's just a dinner. So frankly, I do not care. If LA times promised their source not to release their tape, then they must abide.

If a judge wishes to subpoena and request the tape - be my guest, otherwise, I don't see how we can request it.

BUT, HUGE BUT - there is always human nature. Human nature wants whatever it is being denied. Now that the Obama campaign refuses to release it, everyone's interested. One week ago, it was Khali--who?? Now, the internet is buzzing. Can you blame them, us, you? If there is nothing incriminating (and I dont think there is) just release the tape.

Then again, Obama has not released his *big breath*:

Columbia Thesis,
Harvard Transcript,
Occidental College Transcript,

....and many more.

Don't forget - his original birth certificate!!

A man has built his entire cult of personality on not releasing information, doubt he will change now.

Despite the amusing effort of these kind folks:

The 2009 credit boom is coming to an end.

The credit expansion boom of 2009 will eventually go down as yet another period of credit expansion promoted by the Fed that will have lead to another predictable bust.   Today, it will be interesting to examine how the various levels of production are behaving under years and years of artificial interest rate suppression.  It will also be helpful to look at charts and graphs examining the business cycle theory and the impact of time preference as taught by Mises. For starters, those new to the concept - a very brief paraphrasing of the general idea. Under a healthy functioning market people's consumer patterns impact their savings.  More consumption equals less saving and less consumption more saving.  In order to progress the society must save such that it can make investments in machinery, equipment, technology, etc if it hopes to increase the capacity of production.   Sure ,you can harvest 10 coconuts a day, consume them by night and repeat the process...

What is wrong with this country?

I was browsing the latest IBD poll and it finally struck me. I had this idea brewing for the past few weeks now and this particular poll hit a nerve. What jumped out was the age group and who they are likely voting for. Obama / McCain 18-24: 74% 21% The rest of the age groups are more or less even with ages 65+ leaning more for McCain. Those folks should probably avoid leaning - hazardous to their health. Now, if you are a member of this group and are part of the 74% you are probably feeling good about yourself. If you are in the 21% then you are probably used to feeling desperate and angry that your peers ostracize you as if you were the next coming of the bubonic plague. But this number is very telling. Showing to us that a large group of freshly minted liberals, on average still in college, is in a very good position to influence these elections. Enthralled by the concept of "what they want the world to be" and their utopian ideals they hammer their message to anyone willi...
