...America is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately kind of a place, and we're spoiled to boot. Alan Greenspan, who's made all the right moves for at least eight years now and sold Bill Clinton on the deficit-reduction plan that turned inflation into Rip Van Winkle during this unprecedented expansion, got roundly booed by the markets for lowering interest rates only in his mind Tuesday. And the easily scared - politicians, mostly, and a few Wall Street pessimists - are screaming that a spring recession is nigh...
...quote former IOP Director Alan K. Simpson, we do not ask people to take a "saliva purity test." Republican candidates for national office this past year, including President-elect George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), sought to broaden the outreach of the party to include those who previously may not have identified with the GOP. The Republican Party and the HRC do not and will not condition acceptance on any sort of litmus test.

"We haven't talked much about activities that don't result in pregnancy...
With the next President almost certain to be hedged in, the most powerful economic leader in Washington next year will be Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. The six straight interest-rate hikes he engineered from June 1999 to May 2000 have guided the economy into its present "soft landing." Those rate increases, designed to keep the expansion from overheating, slowed growth from a blistering 5.6% in the second quarter of this year to just 2.4% in the third. And if the economy should falter next year, the Fed could decide to lower rates again. Says Martin Baily, chairman...
