Want to make jokes about North Dakota? Sure, the state's got three times as many cattle as people, and a typical day in January is a balmy 20??F. But the folks who live here, unlike those in many other parts of the country, have jobs. And not only haven't they felt the bite of the housing-market collapse, but their houses have actually inched up in value. The recession, by and large, never made it to places like Bismarck (pop. 60,000). While the local economy is hardly bulletproof, for every bit of bad news - the Bobcat...
Back in the U.S., both parties' presidential candidates are humiliating themselves and us with economic nonsense about oil. John McCain speaks passionately on the need for energy independence, but he is sticking to his counterproductive notion of a gas-tax holiday that would cut less than 20?? from the price of a gallon.

I'm guessing that it will become the indispensable site not only for political insiders but also...
...past decade, zillionaires have entered the mega-yacht race, one-upping one another in size and cost. Yachts longer than 150 ft. (45 m) go for $20??million to $50 million. Venture capitalist Tom Perkins has beaten them all with the Maltese Falcon. The 289-footer (88 m) cost more than $100 million and is one of the world's largest, fastest sailing yachts. At up to $700,000 a week, it is also one of the most expensive charters--and you're too late. It's booked until...
