Add slowly to stocks that are going against you, add quickly and more often to stocks that are going your way :)

Lou, you do realize that the NIU shooter stopped to reload, and then killed/injured more people...right? It's amazing to think of how many people like you live in fear of a tool they do not understand. I'd LOVE to see someone try a mass shooting at an NRA convention.....or pretty much anywhere in Texas (except "gun free zones"....those are easy!)

Smart approach....love it. I also like when I learn something from you L so maybe "less mob, more logic?".....this one was great.

Great comment. Political parties could and should use the system that THEY want....because quite frankly, they shouldn't completely trust their "base" (religion nuts on one side, hippies on the other)

Diplomacy tends to be a lot more effective when you've got a big can of whoopass in your back pocket and the other guy knows it. The real question is....how did we get so lame that a president AND congress would both ignore this and start an inane war against a very scared man?

Ya I had no idea how much those leaches were counting on us either :) Of course, they are spending Euros while we're spending dollars....doh!

Sorry, but there is nothing painful about watching this, except of course for his daughters and their future husbands who will have to deal with the fallout of dad's betrayal forever. He attempted (and sometimes succeeded) to destroy the reputations of other men in order to prop up his own maniacal quest for power. Most of these men had done nothing wrong, except to enjoy success in a public position on Wall Street. He was cheered on by the losers in life who think that everyone who has success deserves punishment. Now we watch as he miserably fails to live up to the insane standards that he tried to hold others to (well beyond the law's boundries, but too populist to stop). This isn't a story about a "hypocrite"....those usually don't move the needle for me as most men including myself are hypocrites in some fashion.....this is a story about a man building himself up through the destruction of others, and then bringing his own rope to his hanging. Shakespearean is right. What a moron.

Because he's "fresh", never really says anything but says everything really well, and relieves massive amounts of white-guilt. Going to be neat to watch him debate with someone with whom he actually disagrees.

I agree with that. I'm pretty sure Obama knows that the media has set him up for a giant fall. I really think that the Dems would have a better chance with Hillary....she's already absorbed so much ammo....Obama has barely seen the crosshairs yet.

Classic. Accordian, bald guy, puns and a classic oldie remade into political satire. This has everything I look for in a video.

I agree with that completely....I just think Obama is a disaster waiting to happen. I feel that McCain will win either way, but HIllary will make it a closer race....again, I'm discounting the Obama hype pretty heavily and I may be wrong to do that.

I wondered about this too, but then it came to me as the conversation came up at dinner..... Women outside of NY State has NO CLUE who she was before this. Now, everyone is talking about her and she's in every picture/article of the biggest story of the month. She played the strong, attractive victim of the putz husband who worked too much...something many many women around the US can identify with.

Bottom line....I think her inevitable book sells MUCH better, and her invitation to be on Oprah is secured precisely because of the smart personal strategy of taking the stage and looking like the "good guy" in the Shakespearian story....without saying a word.
