Charles, who and what is "DB" as in the following? Yesterday DB took its shot at the stock market's Mike Tyson with its call to remove Apple (AAPL) from its short term buy list.

And you definition would be . . . ? Oh, I could nane a lot of inhuman humans, but they are human none the less. And if we could fortell what combinations of DNA produce inhuman adults then we might pick and choose which fetuses should live and which should die, but pending that, we should just let "nature" decide from which fertilized egg will come out next Shakespeare, Mozart, MLK, etc. Get it?

Dante 19--You entirely missed the point of the joke, explained as follows. Try having sex with an aspirin between your knees. The point was that if you don't have sex you can't get pregnant . . . Oh, do you get it now? That aspirin between a woman's knees is a nerely 100% effective contraceptive.

OK, fine, but rather a LIbertarian that a RINO, At least Paul has principles.

"Republicans refused to grant an authorization that is normally routine." But that, John, is the crux of the problem, that "normally routine." I applaud the efforts of the Tea Party, to make raising the debt limit something other than, anything other than "normally routine." Particulary that it is a give there is at least $4 billion which is largely duplication, waste, fraud and abuse. So, bang on Tea Party, and work like blazes to put more Tea Party compatriots in both houses of Congress--they are most sadly lacking in the Senate. So says the sage of the prairie.

What kind of construction? Housing? I don't think so. I see no qualitative difference between housing construction and doing each other's laundry or flipping each other's hamburgers and expecting all to prosper by doing so. Capital expenditures, yes, all else, in terms of a strong econoimc is little more that window dressing. Besides, been there (housing construction) done that -- didn't work. So saith the sage of the prairie.

This is pure BS, read that "BS" as meaning some interests groups are trying to minimize the unwholesome results of teen-age pregnancies. I put it that this "finding" is inconsistent with the rates of illegitimate births. Which have increased ten fold from the earliest date for which I have records, 1931. In 1931 the bastardy rates for whites was 3% and 6% for blacks. Presently those bastardy rates are 30% for whites and the combined rate for blacks and Hispanics is over 60%. This does not correlate with and is inconsistent with low rates of teen age pregnancies. Somebody has some 'splain'n to do.

Too many words to say, "Monkey see, monkey do."

Now let's see, 72% of black children, i.e., children with some Negro blood, the last year for which statistics are available (2008?), were born "out of wedlock," to use the euphemism for bastards. Which produces "welfare mothers," which produces broken families, which produces children being raised fatherless, which leads to undisciplined young men. OMG, can't someone, anyone, connect the dots. But, in truth, it is not black culture which is the problem, it is a political culture which is willing to pay young women to have bastards. The payback for the political classes is . . . one guess . . . votes from a larger and larger class of persons, white and black, wholly dependent on others, we taxpayers, for their very livelihood.
