    According to my source (that being a Japanese soccer fan who I know!), Nissan pulled the plug on the transfer, not the team. Due,of course, to the economic situation.

    Let's see. Hundreds of people want to visit my place of business everyday, and no advertising required. I could a)show some entrpreneurial spirit and figure out how to make some money off them, or b)ban them as they get in the way, and hire guards to keep them away. I…

    Gates is part of the Papa Bush, Scowcroft, Powell crew, not the neo-cons. The only reason he was Bush's defense secretary is that they needed somebody competent to clean up the mess caused by Rumsfeld. When Obama talks about change, one thing he means is that he will appoint competent,…

    ‘‘I think employment and wages are the basis of people’s lives. So I want companies to secure employment and raise wages,’’

    Funny how it is much easier to see the obvious when you have a crisis. This might be a case of shutting the barn door after the horse has…

    This info is completely useless without information on how many people were refused entry annually before the fingerprinting system was introduced. Did the number of people refused entry go up because they were caught by the new system, or is the number about the same as before, meaning they would…

    mareo2-you are fighting a good fight but it is a losing battle. The issue has nothing to do with population growth, depopulation, population density, or all the other stuff that people have written posts about here. The problem is the age distribution within the population. And like you said, most…

    rid jr - are you saying that The Last Samurai, Black Rain, Mr. Baseball, etc. would have been better movies with a Japanese actor playing the role of the Caucasian guy in Japan??? About accents and English ability, if it fits what the character's accent and ability should be, then…

    Quick search of "Goolsbee" and "dithering" shows sarge was right in his most recent post, Goolsbee was talking about the Bush administration. I thought he was comparing the Obama transition to the Clinton transition. Personally, if he was talking about Bush, I don't think dithering is the right word or…

    Plan announced late on a Sunday night, just like with Bear Stearns. In other words, they were likely afraid of what might happen if they opened the market today without an announced plan. Should be an interesting day.

    “We’re out with the dithering. We’re in with a bang.”

    And Sarge asked "why was there dithering up until now?" Actually, I don't think he was referring to the Obama transition. He was talking about previous administrations, and in particular Clinton's in 1992. Surprised that sarge missed that not so…
