Re: 7-Sep-10 News -- Europe's bonds return to crisis levels

Re: 19-Sep-10 News -- State pensions systems in a 'death spiral'

But in the US, I think it's just because it's an election year..."Islamojihadists bent on destroying our way o...

Re: 28-Jun-10 News -- Military tensions up in South China Sea

oh, John, chill out...speaking of which, my house isn't air-conditioned, like your office is (by the way, why should I care what Lara Logan thinks or says? She's just another shill, kissing up.)
