...Bush could have avoided a lot of headaches if he had nominated John Ashcroft to be Secretary of Agriculture. Because the Attorney General plays such a critical role in any Administration, Ashcroft's opponents felt they could not sit still. As the nation's top lawyer and top cop, the Attorney General oversees an enormous network of law-enforcement officers and attorneys, supervising the FBI, the INS, the DEA, the Witness Protection Program and the U.S. Marshals.

...record 49% of Americans own stock. This isn't play money. It's a cop-out to blame analysts if you were so caught up in the money chase that you failed to recognize their tortured logic and conflicts of interest. You owe it to yourself to understand how things work. Earnings expectations, not earnings, are what matter.
