QOTD
"There are some people in this room that don't need to be here.Singletary might be a great NFL coach. This whole story is pretty good:
We've got guys in here that are cancers.
The thing about cancer cells is, they multiply.
We've got to cut them out."
- Mike Singletary after his first game as coach of the 49'ers... they lost 34-13 to the crappy Seahawks
Politics
QOTD
"But nothing, nothing I’ve seen has matched the media bias on display in the current Presidential campaign."Malone's (excellent) full story is here:
- Michael S. Malone, some journalist I've never heard of
Ah journalism... lowest all professions. We've had a complete integrity meltdown this election year. It's more than lefty bias. It's angry. It's mean. It's entitled. It's completely ninny-fied as Saturday Night Live becomes the main source for politcial news networks. Another favorite: I saw a CNN piece exploring whether Sarah Palin's wink is racist. No, I am not kidding.Is all this a sign of the bottom? Will things get better?
Well, let's see if this gets reported:
That's from NewsBusters, which is a righty web site. Where else other than NewsBusters and Drudge will you find this stuff. I see that my Yahoo page is still touting that the repubs bought Sarah Palin clothes. Sigh.
If I were John McCain... and I am not... this audio would be played every minute of every day for the next week. It would be a part of every speech. I would buy Sarah Palin some more hot clothes and run as fast as I could with this football.
Can the articulation of a philosophy like this sway 2-4% of Americans?
I think, um, maybe.
I still believe that Americans do not want European socialism in our country.
I'll keep watching Obama's Intrade stock. It's still at an all-time high right now. Forget the polls, watch the money. Speaking of money...
Money
A couple of esoteric points on the stock market:
- The S&P 500 intra-day low of 840 is important. We bounce off it, things look a little better. We slide right past it. Yikes!
- From Minyanville... the S&P is 35% below its 50-day moving average. That's happened only 5 times since 1928, and the market has been higher 50 days later each time.
