QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 03:43 PM) Senate has voted to end debate on re-nom of Bernanke. Wow, so things that banks like get to pass on 50 votes.

The Yankees floated Damon a 1 year, $6 million number with $3 million deferred after Damon seemingly called and begged for a job offer, and Damon's camp turned it down.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 03:27 PM) $14.29 Trillion Debt vs $14.242 Trillion GDP. How in the world are you coming up with that federal debt number? Are you counting everything the Fed has loaned out but then also giving the assets its taken back a value of zero?

Not.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 11:29 AM) Something tells me the term "stiff shaft" would be involved. There's report of a pre-iowa-caucuses recording of Mr. Edwards and his partner existing somewhere in an upcoming book/ABC interview.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 01:00 PM) Housing follows employment, so its a late trailing indicator. Pretty much everyone has been saying this rate isn't likely to even level out until late 2010. So no surprise there. Isn't this the one recession though where housing has driven unemployment? The housing bubble burst and that started going up way before unemployment shot upwards.

Which one of these represents the Joint Chiefs response to: Obama's statement on DADT Obama's statement on Iran.

For all the talk of a housing recovery, or at least a slowdown in the housing crash, one thing that hasn't slowed down is the rate of loans going bad. Here's the deliquency rate from FDMC, including Dec.'s numbers. Zero turnaround.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 12:39 PM) provide true news... not opinion based news. But there's a legit comeback to that..you've already put in the standard where someone (either me while answering this poll or the news director, etc.) has decided what is the important News. Not to bash Fox but to give an example here, they've chosen to put very little emphasis on the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake. Fox News was the only one not running the telethon, they've given like 1/10th as much coverage to it as anyone else. Is the true news getting Anderson Cooper in there and watching people dug out, or is the true news saying "the earthquake happened, here's the casualty toll, here's what is happening today" and then moving on to something else?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 12:21 PM) That is pretty freaking sweet. But what do you do if you do the tip and they say no...you take the money back right? This is why you ask first. It doesn't hurt to have the cash in your hand if you make the ask, in a way that they can clearly see it.

Define "Fair and balanced" better for me.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 11:22 AM) In a surprise to no one, Elizabeth Edwards is leaving John. Can we somehow connect this to Tiger Woods? That'd be gold.

Slap out.

Howard Bryant writes that there's been a behind the scenes, and somewhat public as well, backlash against McGwire's comments and comeback.

Eutaw.
