As a manager and a thinker, he's strictly 2nd rate. He has a tendency to be wowed by money, power and people he considers to be "above" him in certain ways. Thus, give him an audience with Bush and Powell and he'll write you a pro-Iraq editorial. Give him a dinner with Boris Berezovsky and he'll tell you that Vladimir Putin is a figurehead and Berezovsky is the true power in the Russian Republic.<BR/><BR/>I've had dinners in Moscow with Western Siberian oil men and they are bacchanals, to be sure. Remnick may be a little too uptight to enjoy them as much as I did, but put him next to a guy for whom $500 mm of net worth is a rounding error and he'll do what he's told.<BR/><BR/>Get him a couple of hours with McCain and he'll be love-smitten, assign a hit-job on Obama, and lose all good sense when choosing a cover for that week's "book".<BR/><BR/>Obama is about the same age as you and me and Remnick, so he won't inspire the same admiration in the New Yorker editor's eyes that McCain (or Bush) does.<BR/><BR/>I hear you about loot vis-a-vis NYer cover. I'm not doing this to save the world. I have no interest in that at all. Quite frankly, it's only on the blogs that I have any American self-identification left at all. I don't speak in English too often and on blogs is the only place I write it.<BR/><BR/>Not only do I have no vested interest in seeing peace, freedom, social justice and good fiscal and monetary policy in the United States, I do way better from a personal financial standpoint the more racist, fascist, ignorant, bellicose and fearful the USA becomes.<BR/><BR/>The American ex-pats I know are just like me. Finance guys who are fluent Spanish speakers. They are or were Democrats or Libertarians. We'll laugh sometimes at our CONSTRUCTIVE criticism of the USA! And somebody will say "fuck, yeah, why aren't we giving McCain money? What's with all this peace and economic growth shit?"<BR/><BR/>But even the most callous Libertarian has to have a conscience somewhere. And I'm not that callous really. I have too much respect and pride for older relatives who were suffering, taking shit, giving it out and up in all kinds of baroque madness and died young, so that I could go to grad school and make money and be in a position to philosophize.<BR/><BR/>Or I could just write: "Let them eat Hostess Cupcakes." Because, Jones, the worse it gets up there, the better it gets down here. <BR/><BR/>I'd rate myself 54% villain, 46% hero. Better that than 100% villain and 0% hero, si o no?KELSO'S NUTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14636889771989672795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17646926.post-84084238902329199812008-07-20T11:58:00.000-04:002008-07-20T11:58:00.000-04:00sista gp Well said sister, well saidDusty Thank u ...sista gp <BR/>Well said sister, well said<BR/><BR/>Dusty <BR/>Thank u hon, but we all in the same gang, like malcom X said <BR/><BR/><B>“If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.”</B><BR/><BR/>and<BR/><BR/><B>“I'm for truth, no matter who tells it.

Wal Mart pretty much single handedly kept our inflation at record lows for a decade. By improving supply side infrastructure, forcing their suppliers to cut costs, and going overseas to get less expensive merchandise, they forced their competition to keep prices low. Low inflation is a good thing, it makes my future dollars worth more.<BR/><BR/>Now comes the unintended consequences of that short termed inflation hedge. China's economy is exploding. Our (and the Western Worlds) affinity for cheap goods is funneling metric tons of money into China. China is devouring raw materials at a rate never before seen. Not only is China providing goods to the world, they have 1.3 billion people who are becoming consumers of manufactured goods. <BR/><BR/>We can complain about speculators and oil companies all we want, but the American oil market is dwarfed by the new Chinese market. Oil, iron, copper and all other ingredients of industry are at an extremely high demand by China. This is driving up prices of all raw materials, not just oil. <BR/><BR/>What worked for more than a decade to keep inflation low is now coming back to bite us in the rear.John Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09376217483411918789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17646926.post-31758892998411120982008-07-18T13:37:00.000-04:002008-07-18T13:37:00.000-04:00No_slappz: Good point about China.

Thus, there is no doubt it is possible to drill more wells and produce more oil. The obstacle is politics. Not Nature.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, alternative energy sources will develop. but it is an incontestable fact that even if we go double full-speed ahead, it will take DECADES before solar and wind energy contribute more than a drop in the energy bucket.<BR/><BR/>Nuclear power can offset more oil use than any other option. But the world will use ALL the options. However, the price of energy will reflect the price of oil for the next hundred years No Matter What! <BR/><BR/>Thus, if oil is $140 a barrel, equal amounts of energy from other sources will cost the same. That's how it works.no_slappzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207475509053402475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17646926.post-86240064487659597752008-07-18T13:16:00.000-04:002008-07-18T13:16:00.000-04:00torrance,The cover of the New Yorker is funny for ...torrance,<BR/><BR/>The cover of the New Yorker is funny for several reasons, none of which benefit Obama.<BR/><BR/>He's depicted wearing the muslim clothing he actually wore when he visited a muslim nation a while back. I've forgotten which country he visited, but he did wear the robes and cap that are shown on the cover. Thus, the drawing of him is based on something quite real.<BR/><BR/>In fact, islamic tradition states that the child of a muslim father is a muslim. Of course, Obama has converted to Christianity, but, he began life as a muslim, according to islamic tradition.<BR/><BR/>The half of the magazine cover depicting his wife presents her in a more conceptual way. Even though the New Yorker hoped to create a satirical picture, in fact, it took a mental image held by millions of Americans and put it on paper. <BR/><BR/>In this respect, the New Yorker cover backfired in a spectacular way.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, Obama criticized the New Yorker. Thus, it's obvious Obama can't get along with organizations that support him because he is so deeply concerned about his image. The guy can't take a joke.<BR/><BR/>Why is that? He takes himself way too seriously. I think he believes his own crazy rhetoric.<BR/><BR/>He gave a speec recently. He stated his intention to exit Iraq, thereby giving hope to the opponents of freedom, democracy and capitalism who want to destroy Iraq. In the same speech he said he would invade Pakistan -- to nail Osama bin laden. He also suggested he would invade other countries and he was foolish enough to reveal that he thinks he can talk the Iranian leadership into minding its own business.<BR/><BR/>There's way too much proof he's a screwball.<BR/><BR/>It gets worse when he talks about energy. His views on technology are straight from science fiction.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, China can relax its control of its currency if it chooses. Letting its currency trade freely would be good news for the US.no_slappzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207475509053402475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17646926.post-90338925395399178442008-07-18T11:16:00.000-04:002008-07-18T11:16:00.000-04:00STUCK IN MY HEAD: I think that it can be done more...STUCK IN MY HEAD: I think that it can be done more painlessly even than American workers paying higher marginal tax rates. Again, it is the fiscal platform that none dare speak: cutting spending, most specifically cutting "defense" spending and spending on the National Security Police State apparatus to start with.<BR/><BR/>It is not Barack Obama's fault that Bush's two mis-guided wars have been failures exactly in the area Bush said he wouldn't go into: nation-building. You would be surprised how much budget room you get without the on-the-books and off-the-books allocations of the past 6 years.<BR/><BR/>Then, on the monetary side, it is time for the president and the two leading candidates to stop lying to the American people. If a monetary goal of 1/2 the distance to parity by the end of Obama's first term, you would see a lot of pressure taken off. In short, they can't keep throwing gasoline on the fire until interest rates are zero or negative as in Japan of 5 years ago. A strong president is going to have to choose a Fed Chairperson who is a servant to the national good and not to a party. That means a policy of slow and steady interest rate increases.<BR/><BR/>Republicans have gotten used to something that no party in a capitalist-democratic-republic has ever enjoyed: getting everything on their wish list. They've had war, loose fiscal policy, loose monetary policy, regressive taxation, a regressive system of non-health care, a highly militarized domestic system of social control, and no "fourth estate" to ask questions. <BR/><BR/>That all has to change. It doesn't mean that I think Obama get to govern by HIS fiat. It means that it becomes a negotiation with Obama coming in with the stronger hand than the minority leadership.KELSO'S NUTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14636889771989672795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17646926.post-81658765246884930842008-07-18T06:24:00.000-04:002008-07-18T06:24:00.000-04:00@ Kelso's Nuts"Noboby gets elected by advocating f...@ Kelso's Nuts<BR/><BR/>"Noboby gets elected by advocating fiscal prudence and sound money.

There is so much that these candidates will not talk about until they are elected and then will start to make happen -- to the shock of the electorate. Mainly due to the fact that we cannot handle it, or don't want to hear it. One thing that will greatly help our economy and our infrastructure and our way of living would be to pay a little more in taxes, but that is just seen as unpatriotic. We would rather have a bit more in pocket than have better roads, better schools for our children, better public transportation, better health care, etc.a.eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468719598280416330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17646926.post-69243436593589986432008-07-18T04:42:00.000-04:002008-07-18T04:42:00.000-04:00Torrance: I just re-read this post and while I agr...Torrance: I just re-read this post and while I agree with most of it, I think you give short shrift to the NEW YORKER cover fracas.<BR/><BR/>I agree that if it were the cover of the WEEKLY STANDARD or THE NEW REPUBLIC it wouldn't mean shit. This is something very different. NYC's Obama vote proportion won't be all that different from that of East St Louis, IL. That makes the NEW YORKER magazine a Trojan Horse of the first order. <BR/><BR/>I've got no illusions about Obama. I had fewer than anyone, in fact. I preferred Clinton until Obama's started showing me how strong astute and sophisticated he was starting with his speech on race in Philly. I just became neutral at that point between the two. It's also a little disingenous to have fanned the anti-Clinton flames for months and then to back off a very blatant racist political hit-job in an Obama stronghold. It wasn't just the cover. It was the featured article in the magazine which was a hatchet-job on Obama. It's the editor-in-chief who has never disavowed his full-bore endorsement of the war on Iraq. It's a whole lot of big things BEHIND the disgraceful cover.<BR/><BR/>One may read whatever one likes into primary-and-caucus tactics but the nominees have been chosen and the Clintons are campaigning for Obama and the NEW YORKER does a hit-job on him.<BR/><BR/>But you know I agree with you completely on this economy being bad but more than just bad, structurally impossible to fix. 7 1-2 years of thowing economic theory out the window and running Stalin's USSR will mess things up badly. GM and Wachovia are obviously the next big stories and neither fiscal nor monetary methods are going to fix anything whether whether GM or Wachovia survive or not.<BR/><BR/>I know as sure as I'm typing this that at his worst Obama makes a far better president than McCain and it's not close. <BR/><BR/>The economy, however, was very much not the big issue back in February when Obama was doing a first-class impersonation of Chauncey Gardner and everybody and everybody's aunt Betty was sure that Senator Clinton was a cross between Satan and Hitler but worse. Yet, during that time, Clinton ire blinded and deafened a lot of Democrats to who was talking about practical economic plans and who was Chauncey Gardner.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying that Clinton's idea of Bradyizing the CMOs in exchange for a long foreclosure holiday and a right to restructure was the best way to handle the real estate problem or not. But she was, at least, puzzling through it in public.<BR/><BR/>And I don't blame Obama at all for taking every edge he could and for wanting to win. That's what it's all about. Clinton, though, was Obama's opponent. Why is the editor of the New Yorker picking a fight? What does he stand to gain? We're not going to ever know because Remnick did a way better sales job ex-post than Don Imus did!<BR/><BR/>The problem that your noticing and proving but not saying is that the USA has two parties: the one Obama represents is a Reaganite Conservative Republican Party and the one McCain represents is a Religious Nativist Authoritarian Party.<BR/><BR/>Obama knows this Bill Cosby fatherhood routine, and renewed hawkishness on Iraq, and bezerko Faith Based Cabinet thing is all a lot of baloney. He believes he's got a small win locked down and is going for a big score by trying to pull in a lot of swing states and a Red State or two. He CANNOT discuss the economy with any clarity any more than McCain can because given the textures of BOTH parties, both Obama and McCain are REQUIRED to be USA cheerleaders. To discuss the 3 d's: debt, deficit and dollar would be "pessimism" and that will not play. So, it's platitudes like "renewable energy" and "volunteerism". <BR/><BR/>For McCain it's the War Hero palaver and the domestic sources of crude as if all of it would flow into ExxonMobil and Chevron and the explo rights not be up for international auction.<BR/><BR/>Neither will discuss fiscal and monetary policy because the answers are not what the public want to hear. <BR/><BR/>The answers are fiscal prudence through a vastly reduced military and national security outlay plus a policy of monetary neutrality meaning RAISING INTEREST RATES TO SUPPORT THE DOLLAR.<BR/><BR/>Noboby gets elected by advocating fiscal prudence and sound money. To so would admit there's at least two "problems" with America. Not permissible in a country whose overarching narrative is "freest, richest and greatest country on Earth." It ranks in the 40s on those metrics.<BR/><BR/>Which I guess answers my question about "why this racist New Yorker cover and hatchet job feature article." I think it's to scare Obama into continuing to avoid issues, keep coming to the right to the point at which there are very few ideological differences between the two and -- perhaps -- the "war hero" thingy trumps the "history and hope" thingy.<BR/><BR/>And no one has to take any risks by talking turkey on the economy. It's actually kind of a smart political move by McCain's team coming at a time Obama has ditched the strong message of March thru June in favor of a message somewhere to the right of Romney and to the left of Tancredo!<BR/><BR/>May it fail and Obama put up a huge number of electors. Like 400!KELSO'S NUTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14636889771989672795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17646926.post-8592248636800009782008-07-17T23:09:00.000-04:002008-07-17T23:09:00.000-04:00JAY MIDNYTE: Torrance is winding me up. You're no...JAY MIDNYTE: Torrance is winding me up. You're not really a teenaged college student. Just admit it already. You've had your fun at my expense. <BR/><BR/>You never fail to come back to this issue and you never fail to put it in perspective. Without figuring a way out of the economic holocaust that's headed the USA's way, NOTHING matters.<BR/><BR/>I think that Obama has by far the most gifted and electic team of economic advisors of anybody in teh race, although the off-candidates, Barr, McKinney and Nader have done more THINKING on the issue than either of Obama or McCain.<BR/><BR/>Obama is sharp enough to get the right blend of advice from Soros, Voelcker and Buffett to make some of the limited series of moves he can make, given the unique mess he's being handed. [I don't see too many scenarios with McCain winning this thing, really.]<BR/><BR/>Fascism is definitely one word that fits if you use pre-war Italy and Spain as examples. Soviet Communist is another term that fits. White Fundamentalist Christian Maoism works, too. Nazism fits. Equally immoral, misguided and inefficient in economic and foreign policy, to be sure.<BR/><BR/>The key that unites today's USA with the those systems is in the corporatism as opposed to capitalism. Industrial consolidation in "capitalist" countries is no different materially-speaking than the state-controlled, planned production facilities in "communist" countries.<BR/><BR/>It all boils down to the same shit in America. There's ONE manufacturer of airplanes. There are three major defense contractors. There are 5 conglomerates that control all of the news and entertainment.<BR/><BR/>The Republicans are fond of saying that the backbone of any economy is it's middle-class and small-to-medium sized businesses. This is actually true. They just don't practice what they preach. An innovative batch-process manufacturing company with a market cap of $300 million is considered an irrelevancy in the USA, instead of the economy's bread and butter. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, despite making money hand over fist, the oil companies and the two agri-monopolies, ADM and Cargill, get free money from the government!<BR/><BR/>I was and am an opponent of the wars but given that the US was planning a war in a major oil producing country and another one contiguous with 3 major oil producing countries, to not begin slowly and steadily raising interest rates starting in 2003 was inconscionable. They were just too scared that the real estate bubble would burst. Well, what do you know? Even with all that rate-cutting and the burial of the USD, the real estate market eventually tanked anyway.KELSO'S NUTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14636889771989672795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17646926.post-55262814866786418112008-07-17T19:45:00.000-04:002008-07-17T19:45:00.000-04:00Your writing style is unique.
