...Weiss has been much on my mind lately. I invested in his fund in 2004 - and as I watch the daily drubbing of everything else I own, I'm painfully reminded that I should have heeded his warnings about the turmoil that lay ahead. While most of us were lulled by the financial stability and heady growth that preceded the recent meltdown, Weiss, who is also professor emeritus of economics at Boston University, was a prescient doomsayer. In 2005, when everyone else was bullish, he wrote to his shareholders that global markets looked "very treacherous" and warned about rampant borrowing...
...risks by hitting Obama for being liberal and for a range of other alleged offenses, but kept his tone appropriate for the format and avoided purely personal attacks. Occasionally stumbling over some of his sharper rehearsed lines, he muted their effectiveness. Didn't once fluster Obama, though he did lay down the foundation he needs to try to mount a comeback by sowing doubts about the Democrat.

Palin's initiative was "bold but unworkable, a big splash with little payoff," says University of Alaska energy economist Doug Reynolds. He predicts no movement on a pipeline until Palin agrees to negotiate with the producers...
...calls to one another about which gas station we were going to stop at on the way to Diamonds Cabaret, a gentlemen's club, where we would tip the entertainers 5,000 $1 bills that we had brought in a leather satchel. I got in the Bentley while Flo lay down in the backseat and began one of those phone discussions I knew too well from my 20s; it started out about nothing but escalated, with a lot about "your tone" and "Why you gotta be like that?" and "Stop playing me," followed by "I wrote you a poem."
