I wondered about betting companies...

One, close to a deal with West Ham for shirt sponsorship, is accused of match fixing.

Bristol City

Bristol City lost money. It's wage ratio is 97%!

West Ham

Gudmundson may be forced to sell West Ham. This is because of the effect of the financial crisis on Iceland.

Hurricane activity is down

Global warming will lead to increased hurricane activity, but hurricane activity is down.

Obama again

The plan is to require community service, but the wording was changed from "require" to "set a goal."

It doesn't look like words mean a lot. He's a free trader, but he's not; he won't set economic policy now, but he will. I'm afraid we will have to watch what he does, not what he says.

Sowell talks about conflicting visions. He divides people into those who want protection from the government and those who want to use the government and laws to advance their agenda. Obama is in the 2nd group. He has Rahm Emmanual to push through his agenda. I don't think that the current fiscal crisis, or the projected fiscal crisis related to government pensions and health care, to Medicare, and Social Security, will deter his administration from trying to achieve their goals.

The Bush Administration damaged our freedoms. It looks like the Obama administration will be worse (if that's possible) for liberty and freedom.

GM's cash burn rate

GM will run out of cash by the end of 2008. Whoever thought we'd be calculating a cash burn rate for GM?

Obama

How will he do as President?

I am a little worried. He says that he is a "free-trader," then, in the next breath, explains that he is not really a free trader. He says that Bush will make executive branch economic decisions, then wants an economic stimulus package. He particularly wants more money to bailout the auto companies. I am afraid that the auto companies have large leaks and no amount of bailout will alter their outcome. They will sink.
