November 2008 - Barack Hussein Obama was elected
the 44th president of the United States, as the country
chose him as its first black chief executive.
His acceptance speech alone helped erase 8 yrs of
bitterness both at home and abroad as his upbeat and
hopeful rhetoric was broadcast all over the world.
11/15-2008 - I was up all night facing the economic
challenges of today. I debated liberals and republicans
alike about protecionism and free trade , bailouts
, regulation vs. overregulation vs. NO regulation
and so on. Obviously I didn`t really do all this but
as 3 in the AM hit , every waking moment was spent
musing about he economy and my REM sleep was filled
with dreaming about the economy. If you are unsure
, it was a nightmare

"Like all true idealogues, Libertarians try
to find a way to interpret mounting evidence of error
as proof that they were right all along. They are
intellectually immature, frozen in the worldview many
of them absorbed from reading Ayn Rand novels in high
school. Their heroic view of capitalism makes it difficult
for them to accept that markets can be irrational,
misunderstand risk, and misallocate resources. They
arementally bankrupt, and this time there will be
no bailout."
2/15/04 -The democratic primaries are underway and
John Kerry according to The New York Times ; Is running
away with it. He has 432 delegates, which is a substantial
lead on Edwards and Dean but.... California and New
York alone, are worth 725 delagates and 2161 is whats
required for presidential nomination. It ain`t over
yet ... Not sure who you would vote for check out
