The Daily Beast "SEC claims that Goldman sold a complex type of mortgage bond, known as a collateralized debt obligation, to investors without alerting them that hedge-fund manager John Paulson had selected the same bonds as likely to default.
Paulson made money because he was actually shorting the bonds (a trade that becomes profitable when prices decline), as Goldman was selling the bonds to investors, suggesting they buy them because the housing market would continue to boom." They were jerks, so now watch the demagogues in Washington attack the entire investment industry.

Mr. Obama’s Nowhere Discussions; Obama needs to stop talking and start making hard policy decisions.
Victor Davis Hanson "The public wanted a racially transcendent figure and got instead a Chicago ward boss. The problem now for Mr. Obama — reflected in growing popular discontent — is that on matters of debt, taxes, energy, jobs, and race, he apparently has very little new to offer. He just serves up in new wording the them/us divides of the past."
Berkeley's Judge; A liberal nominee of illiberal temperament.
WSJ "... but the real test of a judge is to decide cases based on the law, not on political ideology or human sympathies. Professor Liu sounds like a man with a political legal agenda."
Another Soviet-style performance: Obama's NASA speech was completely staged -- not a single NASA worker was permitted to attend
http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2010/04/obamas-nasa-speech-completely-staged.html "Interviewed on MSNBC, a visibly shaken Jay Barbree -- the longtime NBC science correspondent -- described the duplicity of President Obama. Put simply, Obama's campaign rhetoric -- that he would preserve NASA's cutting-edge science and engineering expertise -- was, like so many of his promises, a fabrication. And he couldn't even tell them to their faces." And this from Atlas Shrugs "...He has not invited a single space worker from this space port to attend. It's only academics and other high officials from outside of the country. Not one of them is invited to hear the President of the United States, on their own space port, speak today."...

Hello Bill. The meaning of the name is explained on my blog as such:
Why Shawarma Mayor
The religion of peace blew it up twice. The same restaurant. Now try and explain to me how exactly can you consider Islam peaceful? Remember: first attack report . Second attack report . It was a shawarma stand in Tel Aviv which was bombed twice by the terrorists during the terror attacks period since 2001. I began blogging out of outrage from these attacks.
God Bless Israel AND America.
Great hearing from you and all the best

Obama's Nuclear Posturing, Part Deux
Charles Krauthammer "...Which made this parade of world leaders in Washington an exercise in misdirection -- distracting attention from the looming threat from Iran, regarding which Obama's 15 months of terminally naive "engagement" has achieved nothing but the loss of 15 months."
The Kids Are Alright
Andrew McCarthy "When Eric Holder was an Obama campaign adviser, he didn’t just question the patriotism of Bush DOJ lawyers, he accused them of facilitating war crimes and insisted there needed to be a “reckoning” of their purported misdeeds. Those lawyers were working against the terrorists. But we’re not supposed to talk about lawyers who work for the terrorists."
Geraldo Rivera has repeatedly invoked his dubious Zionist credentials in order to launch verbal assaults on the Jewish state.
Shawarma Mayor "Fox may want to consider limiting Rivera's reporting to topics and regions that don't trigger such irrational outbursts."
Race and Politics: Part IV
Thomas Sowell "Multiculturalism enshrines the sins and grievances approach-- and paints the poor into a corner, where they can nurse their resentments, instead of advancing their skills and their prospects. The beneficiaries are politicians and race hustlers."
Willy's words
American Thinker " Failing to use the consequences of his own selfish lying words as an example, the former president neither then, nor now, ever seemed to really care about the affect irresponsible, disrespectful behavior had on the country. Yet like an elderly reverend Bill Clinton pontificates on the importance of paying heed to words because he suddenly believes they have meaning?" Jeannie DeAngelis ; Clinton Compares Tea Party To McVeigh "The Democrats spring propaganda offensive continues apace. Indeed, they are rolling out their biggest gun." The demagogic party; is there no trace of conscience in these people? More here: Bill Clinton's Ideological Mistake "America has never stood for the principle that dissent is dangerous in and of itself. If it were, we wouldn't have opposing candidates on our ballots."
