Is Socialism Seductive? Or Was Today's Huge Rally More of a Technical Bounce?
Response to post #10: Thanks for the scientific verification a2z. The continuing saga today makes it look like the psychology of greed and corruption dictates that the crooks that got us into this mess are going to suck up as much of the "Bailout" as fast as they can with their now you see it, now you lose it betrayal of America Grand Larceny. In fact it seems like the politicians and the bureaucrats at the Washington (formerly Mustang) Ranch have contracted mass VD and don't even bother to think about taxpayers anymore as long as they can continue to receive gratification from Wall/Main Street for their services.— October 14, 2008 12:12 p.m.

Response to post #6: History is repeating itself again, there must be a Latin quotation that says something like Caveat Citizen, Beware of Desperate Politicians and Bureaucrats Taking Desperate Actions Making Circumstances More Desperate In Desperate Times. Why is it that I keep having the feeling that Washington is in the Solution of the Hour/Day/Week mode where they really don't know what the hell they are doing, but it always seems like the crooks are getting the rewards and guarantees while all rest of the American citizens are getting is more betrayal by our politicians and bureaucrats in Washington?— October 14, 2008 3:05 a.m.
Superb NY Times Story Tells How U.S. Economic Leaders, Particularly Greenspan, Failed To See Possibility of Derivatives Chain Reaction
Response to post #18: The greatest political disappointment of my life is McCain, I contributed to his McCain2000 campaign against Bush and believed at the time that he was about the best of the best since Ike. But it's 2008 and McCain has sold out to the forces of Hate and Corruption, and I am left to wonder if he has always been that way or the fact that the Bush Neocons treated him as badly as the Viet Cong caused him to change so rabidly. It is most hideously ironic that Bush has sold out the American Way of Life to Chinese Communism, sold out the American Land of Opportunity to communism that McCain almost lost his life protecting America from along with 100s of 1000s of Heroes and Patriots who sacrificed everything to protect America from communism. Bush turns out to be second only to bin Laden for attacking American Democracy, the U.S. Constitution and Capitalism. God Bless America, and save us from the republicans in Washington.— October 13, 2008 12:46 p.m.
NBC Reports Moores Wants To Sell 49 Percent of Padres As Part of Divorce Settlement
Response to post #7: You might have noticed that I am extremely angry over current events, especially due to a BBC column this morning: “McCain in 'hatred' war of words” http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/us_elections_… Too see all our decades of civil rights advancements threatened by the Bush administration's atacks against Democracy and Capitalism, and then have McCain-Palin send us back into the dark ages of American hatred and intolerance is treason against everything we thought we finally stood for as Americans.— October 12, 2008 1:47 p.m.

Response to post #6: Interesting coincidence that both Moores and Brandes have strong interests in UCSD to get their names chiseled in marble or whatever they can buy for personal immortalization with rewards from their ill-gotten gains, outrageous greed and corruption. Not surprising though since UCSD still has yet to live down their dismissal of the Father of Molecular Biology and two time Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry and Peace Linus Pauling because he had far too much honor, integrity, morals and ethics for the U-T hate and intolerance establishment that demanded Pauling’s head as a quid pro quo for being forced by UCSD founders to end their era of Gentleman’s Agreement in La Jolla. The irony is that UCSD owes their highest scientific reputation to Pauling’s genius and discovery. Some things never change in the world of extreme greed and corruption that gives Aguirre and Brown a lot of work left to do unless the forces of hate and intolerance like the U-T establishment are allowed to continue to fool most of the people all the time.— October 12, 2008 12:38 p.m.
Brandes Takes Another Bath; This One Is in Royal Bank of Scotland
Ain't democracy wonderful!? Current events prove that the American educational system crashed and burned long ago, on or before the time when Bush went through it. Bush is the world's most famous Harvard MBA for sure now that his failures caused the stock market crash. And his Yale history degree somehow must have taught him to attack our Constitution. They must not include ethics, morals, honor and integrity in courses at Yale or Harvard. Wonder where Brandes got his degree?— October 12, 2008 2:37 a.m.

NBC Reports Moores Wants To Sell 49 Percent of Padres As Part of Divorce Settlement
The fact is that the republicans have screwed up America so badly that our only chance is to purge the entire republican political culture in Washington of destructive greed by at least electing Obama, along with dominant democratic control over the house and senate. Then we had better keep a close watch on the democrats and hold them immediately accountable when they screw it up. And if we don't re-elect Aguirre, then there can be no hope for San Diego recovery for at least a decade as long as the corrupt establishment continues to rule. As far a California state government is concerned both parties have failed seemingly beyond hope, there is no leader in sight to change the culture at this time, except maybe Brown again.— October 11, 2008 1:21 p.m.

This article brings up the point that the consequences of San Diego City Hall political corruption continue to accelerate but seem to have fallen off the radar due to Washington/Wall-Main Street meltdowns even though people are starting to send in their mail-in ballots received this week or voting early at Registrar of Voters office. It would be a shame if corrupt Judge Goldsmith won by default because voters failed to remember that he follows in the footsteps of his role model corrupt Judge/Mayor Murphy who accelerated the out of control San Diego financial crisis in the first place.— October 11, 2008 3:07 a.m.
Superb NY Times Story Tells How U.S. Economic Leaders, Particularly Greenspan, Failed To See Possibility of Derivatives Chain Reaction
Response to post #10: If this isn't an extreme emergency, never-ending war and failure of the wealth of America, what is? While McCain is literally a loose cannon on the gun deck, Obama appears to be energizing the 18 to 29 years old who most desperately need a true leader for their future but he hasn’t come close to motivating the entire population yet like Roosevelt did. Meanwhile the faith and credit of the United States continues to crash and burn in a world without a leader.— October 10, 2008 1:55 a.m.
