Lil' Wayne vs. KRS-One

For those of you who criticize my love of hip hop, please accept this editorial as an expression of everything that is wrong with rap. While I must admit I am not a total purist, since I love me some "club anthems" [read: Kanye], the MCs that I love don't actually make it on MTV or BET.

Biden: Bush's comments were 'bullshit'

I love McCain...albeit slightly less than Barack

"I'm not interested in partisanship that serves no other purpose than to gain a temporary advantage over our opponents. This mindless, paralyzing rancor must come to an end. We belong to different parties, not different countries." -- John McCain

He's got an admirable agenda. I love the British Parliamentary-style debate that he's suggesting too...

P.S.

I'm tired of the popular press citing 3.0-3.5% GDP growth as "disappointing" or "lackluster." The truth is that over the past 35 years, we've average 3.1%. So what the hell is wrong with 3.5%? Better than averge sounds okay to me over the next 35 years.

Journalists suck.

We're not in a recession....yet

Lets debunk a myth. A recession is 2 consecutive quarters of a shrinking economy. Guess what -- the economy just grew 0.6% this past quarter. So, all this scary rhetoric from CNN et al is bogus. Just because the stock market is flat or down, it does not mean the economy is in a recession. In fact, a stock market is simply a place to raise capital. It is only one piece of a vast economy, albeit an important piece.

So what does being in a recession really mean to us...?

Nothing. Unless you're an MBA looking for a finance job.

PS - intrade has the probability of a recession down to 30%. http://www.intrade.com/partners.jsp?ZID=1375&AID=1&CID=2&page=trade&selConID=508654
