Seriously:
From Congresswoman Maxine Waters, a Clinton supporter: People in my district have a lot of hope. They go to bed hungry, they have trouble heating their homes but they have a lot of hope that things will get better. They don’t need more hope, they need help.
The big news is not that the Fed produced another sizable interest rate cut again on Wednesday. The big news is what seems to dictate what the Fed does these days. Or if you will, who’s guiding the visible hand that guides the invisible hand of the market. AP’s Martin Crutsinger had […]
George W. Bush may not be the smartest President we’ve ever had, or the most popular, or the most admired, or the most successful. But there’s one thing no one can take away from the man, one singular achievement that promises to stand as a Presidential Record forever: he’s the signing-statement-est President there’s ever […]
It is my sad duty to report what my flies-on-the-wall have been reporting from the Fed since Monday.
The runaway winner for the most frequent question heard, in the halls and in the restroom stalls, is: “Explain to me again why interest rates can’t be negative?”

It seems to be a Republican predilection.
I’m ashamed to admit that it dawned on me only a few days ago — ashamed, since the writing has been on the wall for a long time (and I even read the writing, and wrote about it without understanding its import) — that Rudee has never really been […]
In the time of Bush, what does it take to save a man from being royally f*cked by the all-knowing, all-wise federal government?
Judging by the story of Thomas Warziniack, it takes something suspiciously like divine intervention.
You can be born and brought up in the United States, with papers and everything, even a birth certificate. […]
In Monday’s morning press gaggle, one of the geese asked White House Press Secretary Dana Perino a question that you might imagine she might have anticipated being asked at some point. But, clearly, this lady — who serves at the President’s pleasure, and has never displayed (in public, at least) any evident skill […]
In case you ever wondered, here’s what a Christian jihad looks like.
Just like Muslim jihaads are launched by the criminal and lunatic fringe of Muslims, so too are Christian jihads launched by the criminal and lunatic fringe of Christians. Meet Kenneth Copeland, the totally pathetic bin Laden of the West:
Sen. Chuck Grassley […]
Don’t waste your evening listening first to Bush, and then to all the flatulent windbags who will come on to explain to you what Bush just told you.
Here’s the short version of what Bush will say:
— Economy: resilient
— State of the Union: rosy
— Surge: a great success
