To Strike, Or Not To Strike

Even if the actors strike doesn’t happen, there is already an economic impact going on which is currently affecting production schedules

Even a smaller strike would slow down the recovery

We’re frustrated and discouraged that the talks have stalled because SAG’s Hollywood leadership is focused on its campaign to interfere with the affair of a fellow union

The producers remain committed to avoiding another harmful, unnecessary strike and to reaching another fair and forward-looking labour agreement

HUD Knew About Subprime Problems

For HUD to be indifferent as to whether these loans were hurting people or helping them is really an abject failure to regulate

It was just irresponsible

Given the very high concentration of these loans in low-income and African American neighborhoods, the growth in subprime lending and resulting very high levels of foreclosure is a real cause for concern

– A 2001, HUD agency report stated that the threat of foreclosure was a real concern, yet subprime backed securities rose tenfold by 2004.

The Hellraisers

God put me on this earth to raise hell

Booze is the most outrageous of drugs which is why I chose it

Life is made from memories which is a pity as I don’t remember much

I do not live in the world of sobriety

Two Sides To Every Truth

“Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.

We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is—the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel’s independence to launch a false political attack

President Bush’s comparison of any Democrat to Nazi appeasers is both offensive and outrageous on the face of it, especially in light of his failures in foreign policy. This is the kind of statement that has no place in any presidential address and certainly to use an important moment like the 60th anniversary celebration of Israel to make a political point seems terribly misplaced. Unfortunately, this is what we’ve come to expect from President Bush.

Unidentified Advisor Considers Edwards His Elder

“My gut instinct, at this point: He’s probably going to remain neutral and sort of try to play on that Al Gore status as party elder”

“There is a real space for him to be an advocate for the issues that he cares about but also to play a role as a party elder”

“I think he is, at this point, probably going to take the route of ‘We got two great candidates, let the people decide”

It sounds to me like he has the same issue he has always had as a candidate, all talk, no action. He won’t commit because he doesn’t want to pick the loser.

And by the way, how can a one term senator (who is no longer a senator) from North Carolina be considered the “party elder”? Shut up.
