Ron Paul is one of the very few people in Congress I really respect. Most of them are bought and paid for by various influential lobbies.. BTW In an interview on PBS Ron Paul said that Colin Powell had recently testified about how WEAK the Iraq military is. All the propaganda about an Iraq threat is just a marketing job to sell the public on a war of conquest..

Slider, reruns: "the TECH Bubblevision Show." You wrote, "I wish I had made some videotapes of the CNBC shows during the height of the bubble... someone ought to look into getting the syndication rights to re-running some of those shows on the comedy channel." Oh, so do I wish I could see some of those opening hours again with Maria and gang just about coming out of their pants with excitement. I bet those tapes will never see the light of day. Though they should, and be mandatory watching in high schools and before anybody opens a brokerage account, especially if balancing their check book is the extent of their economics understanding. Not quite sure if the Comedy Channel or Science Fiction Channel would be the better spot.... Certainly a slot on Saturday Night live would be appropriate.... Could we laugh at ourselves (even those of us who weren't long but didn't short)? It would be painful....but highly instructive....especially if their were the type of postscript you offered in your post. Next week and particularly in about 1 1/2 hours when LR's "Wall Street Week" is on, celebrating the rally, full of "I told you to have faith," we'll hear the talking heads all a wonder over the stock market's rally. Their professionalism, generally now in question given the plunge in equities while they blabbered the bullish line, may keep them more reserved than earlier in the decline. We need to appreciate their jobs and raises depend on a BULL market and fully expect what we get. Good article below on the press and the market along this theme's line, I'll repost. washingtonmonthly.com
