Commentary from my local paper...

Quite a nice criticism of Bush* if you ask me. Parts included here, the link to the entire article follows (no registration needed!).

A tale of two famous investors
David Rossie

Once upon a time, there were two rich people with high name recognition. Investor A's name became synonymous with making money. Just about everything she touched turned to gold.

Investor B's name also attracted money -- other people's. But his every endeavor failed.

Investor A put a small amount of the millions she made into a company owned by a friend of hers. When the company's product ran into a marketing problem and its stock began to plummet, she unloaded $228,000 worth of her stock. She avoided a loss of $51,000 -- chump change to her -- by getting out early.

Investor B's business record read like the transcript of a 12-step program meeting. In 1986, as the company he was then heading was facing foreclosure, another company stepped in, bought the company and Investor B with it. It had no use for the company, but Investor B's last name was worth plenty. Investor B got about $500,000 for his share of his company's virtually worthless stock and an annual consultant's fee of $120,000.

1. I love Rossie!

He's great! They reprint his stuff in the Ithaca Journal here and it's one of the best columns they have.

:hi: from a few miles up the road!

4. He really is...

I've been reading his column religously since I was in middle school. What can I say? I've been a bleeding-heart since I was 12. When I was away at school I checked the papers webiste on the days I knew his column was published just to read it.

2. A little obvious

It needs more mystique in order to trick freepers. His record is well known, just ignored by the right. If they know it's him the article is about, they dismiss it out of habit. Ya'know they can't have anyone challenging their messiah.

3. Okay, I follow ya...

Got any suggestions?

5. I always liked the vote.

I forget where and who posted/mailed it to me. It asked you to choose who you wanted representing your country.

4 Candidates:

By the descriptions one was obviously Clinton, one was Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and the last of all sounded like it was Bush, but ended up being Hitler. If anyone can find this, I would be very appreciative.

6. Yes, I've seen that...

I have no idea where to find it though. I wish I could, I remember liking it.
