whateverdude Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 You didn't say "is credible", you said "does well". Megyn Kelly's high-gloss lips and low-cut blouses don't make me take Fox seriously...but they sure do get me to tune in every afternoon. Its just a matter of time before the Fox Fem-bots take your mind too (insert evil laugh here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCinBuffalo Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 While this is true, it's also relatively useless to me. The lefties they put on are as bad as the righties they put on. So while on the surface it looks like you're getting both sides, what you're really getting is both extreme sides; people like Alan Colmes and Bob Beckel on one side and Dick Morris and Karl Rove on the other. The end result is fringe yelling points. True. But, I usually can get a quick sense of where things really are based on the reactions of these extremists to each issue. Also, I pay attention to specific pundits and usually ignore others. One of the better segments I try to listen to every day for about 15 minutes is Brett Baier and his panel, which usually includes a decent cross-section of folks, and almost always Charles Krauthammer, who I have really come to appreciate for some odd reason. No doubt about this. And, Krauthammer is awesome. Goofy, but awesome. I am in the same boat as to not understanding why I like him. In fact, he recently got "promoted" to having his own segment on O'Reilly. It's interesting, because he is one of the very few people that O'Reilly won't interrupt to keep things moving. On the Dem side, Juan Williams, Beckel, the Temple law professor guy, and the Democrat version of Laura Ingraham...the chick from Alaska(no, not that one) are all useful to me. On the right, I actually like Dick Morris and Karl Rove because of their sincerity, they think what they think and that's it. They aren't trying to be purposely contentious or controversial...unlike a certain long legged blond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 They cater to the older right leaners who still get most of their news on TV not online. Not everyone spends their"work" day in front of a computer surfing the internet. I watch fox news for a hour and get a quick run down of which administration member made a idiotic statement today, and pursue details online if I feel it's worth it.

Just because I don't have any clothes on most of the day doesn't mean I ain't working! You're just jealous! Besides, I clearly get a hell of a lot more done at home than I ever did at an office, never mind all the wasted time dicking around with driving/parking/train etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Chippendales? Nah, I just got in the habit a long time ago. One of the firms I worked for had a real d-bag VP of Sales. I had 0 respect for this guy, so, every time he called me, and especially on conference calls I would just get naked. The thinking being 'you can yell all you want, but I am still naked!' I just got used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yall Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Offer Illegal Immigrants here free 1-way flights to Europe At least our illegals are Catholics who like tacos and weed. Ditch the accents, move 'em to South Buffalo and give them some "Kiss Me I'm Irish" bumper stickers and I doubt anyone could tell the difference.

RuntheDamnBall Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'm no fan of the Euro/socialist model, at least not most of it, but I don't think the better strategy is to go into severe debt through entitlements AND unfettered military spending, rather than just the former. A real solution would have EVERY sector of the government doing its part to cut costs. We're going to shut down an "unfair" tax on soda... but keep subsidizing cheap corn (and corn syrup) that has made the price of it go down 40% adjusted for inflation since the 60s, while real foods have gone UP 40%. We're going to cut teachers in underperforming schools... but drop $25MM to keep OTBs open. I am dying to see a responsible administration somewhere that will face up to reality... from either party. This is simply ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Scary ****. For anyone wondering why Europe’s leaders are so determined to avoid a restructuring of Greek sovereign debt, I recommend a remarkable piece of research published on Monday by Jacques Cailloux, the Royal Bank of Scotland’s chief European economist, and his colleagues. (Unfortunately, it seems not to be easily available on the internet, so I’m providing links to news stories that refer to the report.) The RBS economists estimate that the total amount of debt issued by public and private sector institutions in Greece, Portugal and Spain that is held by financial institutions outside these three countries is roughly €2,000bn. This is a staggeringly large figure, equivalent to about 22 per cent of the eurozone’s gross domestic product. It is far higher than previous published estimates. It indicates that, if a Greek or Portuguese or Spanish debt default were allowed to take place, the global financial system could suffer terrible damage. The €2,000bn estimate is based on data compiled by the Bank of International Settlements, the International Monetary Fund, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and the World Bank. It differs from earlier estimates in that it includes not only foreign bank exposure to Greek, Portuguese and Spanish debt, but the exposures of other institutions such as insurance companies and pension funds.

"Why are people selling the European currency and buying the US dollar?" "Because the US economy is so much stronger than the European economy." "Correct. Why is that Roger?" "Because it's owned by China." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
