There is even something called satellite radio. NPR is 1920s technology in search of subsidy. They call that rent seeking in economics. Joe Biden thought Roosevelt went on TV in 1929 to reassure the public about the stock market. Cokie was probably the announcer. She was young then.

This just means that one source of negative articles about her has shut down. Now how can we get the NY Times to join the boycott ? You can tell by the comments to Jen Rubin's columns what the percentage would be in that poll. The Post's readership is about 67% lefties.

The sheriff's office discouraged callers who were complaining about his threats. There has to be a formal process for the law to work and that didn't happen. I hope that gets looked into. Dupnik bears a lot of blame.

When the FBI came to their home this weekend, they tried to bar the door with pieces of lumber. They don't sound very cooperative. He might not the only one in that house with issues.

His office got many complaints about Loughner and callers were discouraged from filing formal complaints. The fact that Loughner's mother is a County employee and politically active probably has something to do with it. Had they accepted complaints and had this resulted in a restraining order or a conviction, he would not have been able to buy that gun.

I just won't go to most of those made today. I'm sure that series had to get past the gimlet eye of Ted Turner who was a great guy until he met Jane Fonda. Now, he is a loopy leftist who seems ashamed of his own success. He is a bore on any topic but sailing and TCM has thankfully escaped many of his eccentricities. It is great that classics are being released on DVD in good restorations.

O'Brien finally left him there and went on. Ford did not use him again for 10 years.

If a family business is to survive the death of the principal, the family must buy life insurance to pay the death tax and Warren is all for that. There is an old rule that applies to Warren Buffet and to George Soros. Cui bono?

They were progressives and did not understand macroeconomics. The same is true of Obama and many of his advisors. They think they can tinker with the economy and nothing bad will happen because the business cycle will make all things rosy again. Bush, I'm sorry to say, didn't understand either in spite of his Harvard MBA. Easy money is politically popular but is as healthy as a diet of donuts. Greenspan deserves a lot of blame, too. He, of all people, should have known what would happen.

That last time he was here, he produced complete gridlock during rush hour and now, he is going to do the same thing on a Friday afternoon ! On the the other had, maybe this will help Meg Whitman. All he had to do was have these fundraisers on weekend days ! Does it not occur to rich Democrats that people have to work if they can find jobs ? Maybe not.

The NRA is a one issue lobby but it has to use some common sense, too. I've been an NRA life member for a long time and have watched the tide change with the Democrats. It is all politics with them, not conviction.

I still don't know if MacDonald is guilty but McGinniss was a liar and his book contained a lot of thinly sourced material.
