Hey CNN, where is the coal tape?

Deemed too damaging I assume? This has been a historic campaign and not because of the candidates, but because journalism died. How can CNN justify not playing the tape to the American people? They do not even have to write an opinion on the matter, let the people decide. This is just one tiny example in the liberal bias of CNN - and yet I have met so many people who defend this "news" station.

I have also seen a lot of comments from the Obamacolytes and the level of argument is bordering infantile.

Their main arguments:

1) This story has been out for a long time, it has been on the SF Chronicle website for months.
2) McCain also supports carbon caps.

Who the hell cares if the tape was on the SF Chronicle page? WHO GIVES A SHIT!? Did the national media know it? No? Then it was suppressed, because this is vital.
The entire country knew Joe the Plumber did not pay his taxes, yet one day before the election no one knows of Obama's plans to bankrupt an entire industry.

Of course the tape of someone prank calling Sarah Palin is on CNN's main page. How utterly dispicable and blatant.

Secondly, McCain supports caps. Yes, he has said that. So what? When did he ever say he was planning to skyrocket electricity and bankrupt an entire freakin' industry? There is a subtle difference.

Lastly, Obama wants to tax the industry and then use the money to reinvest. Do you understand what a socialist is? This is socialism. The government will now be in charge of our energy complex. Only liberal intellectuals can justify this action in the name of fighting global warming. I am so saddened that our elite intellectuals are so stupid.

    I too am saddened that the "once known" press, was supposed to be fair and balanced has obviously diminished, the only channel I see that hasn't lost this stature is Fox News!

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.  You can also defe

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

401k Takeover Proposal. IRAs in danger?

Just read a piece that made my blood boil. The story is from Carolina Journal, but I will paste the first paragraph below. Even if you currently do not have a 401k, this is the most dangerous proposal I have ever heard. The only similar example I can think of, would be the gold seizure under FDR. If this proposal becomes legitimate, you MUST write to your local representative, congressman, senator, etc. This will be absolutely crippling to our economy as investors will stage a mass exodus out of the market. If you want a demonstration of this in action, look at Argentina. They just did something very similar. I will keep my eyes on the story and will add further information to demonstrate just how dangerous this is. November 04, 2008 RALEIGH — Democrats in the U.S. House have been conducting hearings on proposals to confiscate workers’ personal retirement accounts — including 401(k)s and IRAs — and convert them to accounts managed by the Social Security Administration. Triggered by the
