Terry Gross blew it
If you've been reading my blog you know I'm a big fan of the Fresh Air podcast, have been for a long time, since before it was a podcast. I like the way the host Terry Gross interviews people, and because the show is so good, and she's basically a fa
NewsJunk -- Junkier than ever!
There's something about taking a break that gets you ready for more. As the election wound down, the pace of the news rose to a crescendo, then dropped off precipitously. After letting a bit of time pass, my intuition that NJ had run its course was c
Switzerland may go bankrupt
Now we're at the point where whole countries are going down. This is turning into a bloody huge mess. Citibank, too big to fail, and too big to bail, is next. Read it and weep. Our way of life is on its way out. What does the world look like in its

Journalists who report the news
This is what I was talking about yesterday. "They should put their reporters in Detroit, Columbus, Indianapolis, where ever there are elements of the auto industry, and explain what will happen to these Americans when GM, Ford and Chrysler shut down,
Is the panic over Detroit real?
I'm not an economist, and while I'm not a casual investor (no one can be) -- I'm not a very active investor. I tend to park my assets in one place and just leave them there. The one major exception was January of this year, when I sold almost all my
