The kiss of death. "Heck of a job Brownie!"
Of course Eric has been VERY good for the bankers, so he might get by. Unless E. Warren takes him to task. I for one, would like to see Eliot Spitzer get a couple of years at that job ASAP.

Yeah, but another two weeks before that hits the paycheck and another two after that before J6P compares the checking account to what is on the Visa bill. Until then...

Well MSFT announced that they are going to fix Win8, and issue the fix free of charge, taking a different tack from their previous comments of ceasing to do service packs and begin charging for an annual OS update.

Why do Republicans hate free markets?
The Texas law has been in place for a LONG time, partly in collusion with both the dealers and the big three, to keep out domestic start-ups like Tucker, but mostly to protect the dealers. There is simialr special treatment for Beer distributors, and RE agents too.

Rob Dawg wrote:
they were not as up as the dollar volume suggested
Unit sales rising, in the face of price increases, seems pretty important if trying to paint a picture of healthy demand. And the price is key in that formula as, if unit sales were rising, with the help of falling prices, that would be less impressive.

REALLY? Seems that they have been the lefties best friend, by pushing the (R) into some difficult and unpopular choices. I for one am thankful that they managed to sabotage the "grand bargain" as cutting SSA benefits, should be off the table, in my view.
Rob Dawg wrote:
No "leaving aside" the central point of my comment.
You also omit the key point of Seb's argument, that UNIT sales are also up, independent of price. Which is kind of devastating to your point.

Answer: I dunno. If they did, they shouldn't have.
I suspect that there might have been some covert operations being managed by the consulate, that the US would have preferred to have kept quiet with regard to the incident, beyond any concern with any operational mistakes made. Those kind of ops could be 100% legit, from a US interest POV, but diplomatically inconvenient, otherwise.
For example, if they were coordinating transfer of Libyan weapons to US friendly groups in Syria. Fox and friends, making a mountain out of this (so far) molehill, is probably not doing the US any favors internationally.

The recofigurations in question usually slow down travel and make it easier to park ( they don't remove parking, they reduce travel lanes ). These changes make the areas in question more "friendly" in general and improve sales.
I wonder if that is the same reason for the monster speed-bumps, I now see in the strip-mall parking lots?
IRS targeted more than tea party groups, document shows - CNN.com
the agency made "mistakes" in the last few years with tax-exempt status applications, specifically those submitted by groups with the words "tea party" or "patriot" in their names.
That's pretty bad.

Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy timeline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Sampson, chief of staff to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, came up with a checklist. He rated each of the U.S. attorneys with criteria that appeared to value political allegiance as much as job performance. He recommended retaining 'strong U.S. Attorneys who have ... exhibited loyalty to the President and Attorney General.' He suggested 'removing weak U.S. Attorneys who have ... chafed against Administration initiatives'"
bad. But still...
