      Do any of you know anything about the management of the Boston Patriots professional football club? I have been asked to interview for the position of “head coach” presumably because of some “special” skill they say I have when it comes to”the big one” and my inability to “choke” under certain conditions.
      What does all that mean?

      It’s Bernanke. Once Ron Paul is in the White House, he will be out of a job because there will be no more Fed

      Bob Rubin
      all the old guard support Hillary. Where were these “leaders” when the subprime mess got started. There was definitely no leader like Paul Volcker around. One can not put all the blame on Chuck Prince and Zoe Cruz though they are culpable as well. voting for Hillary is too 20/2w0. We need new leadership: either Obama or McCain.

      Interesting results from the election. I never would have imagined that Barack Obama could take Missouri. Not a wealthy, educated state. Lots of southern influence. Obama took the heavily populated areas of Kansas City, St. Louis, and Columbia, Mo. (home of the University of Missouri). Having grown up in Kansas City, I was truly amazed. Of course, Obama took Kansas, too.
