Markets: From tomorrow (kids are all out of school) through New Years the markets are lightly traded. Dangerous only because it gives speculators an open field in which to make huge buys and sells and thereby move markets, especially the lightly incompetently regulated commodity markets. Shouldn't be a factor on really good stocks, but if your stocks get hit, obey the sell signals you have set up.

from Chrenkoff. In fact the entire Democratic party would sue. This very long piece on Chrenkoff is a must read, far too long and informative to get the space needed in the MSM. When you have twenty minutes, give it a read. Later add: I finally got the twenty minutes to read it myself. Jesus. Please read it. Just fantastic.

The death knell for the Right?
Are we kidding dot com..... Get ready for this. Proof that Conservatism is dying. A conservative women 2005 calendar. And who do we get to stare at for a year? An aging but at least an "Oldie but Goodie" Bo Derek? A steel mill furnace hot Rachel Marsden? The cure for erectile dysfunction, the masterbation inducing Rachel Hunter?---go there, she is too hot. Hell no. We will be given a calendar containing--keep your hand in your jacket pocket, no sense ejaculating on your computer screen---Ann Coulter, Dr. Condoleezza Rice, Phyllis Schlafly, Michelle Malkin, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Dr. Jeane Kirkpatrick, and others. Be still my heart. Dramamine might help while looking at those women, but I doubt it.
