Laura Meckler and Susan Davis report on the presidential race. Sen. John McCain said rival Sen. Barack Obama may be a Socialist. In a town hall meeting Thursday in Kansas City, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said that his Democratic opponent had the “most extreme” record in the Senate. Later, McCain was asked by the Kansas City Star [...] ...

So, Ben, what is the exact definition of "unusual and exigent circumstances"? When exactly are these over and who decides? Again -- we are now getting into a really gray area for which there is no answer. But, again, I can tell you what this looks like: Privatize the profits and socialize the losses.

I don't think John McCain is a transsexual Nazi pedophile. But I really don't know for sure. That's the line of logic McCain followed when asked whether he thinks Barack Obama is a Socialist. "I don't know," McCain responded . He elaborated: “His voting record … is more to the left than the announced Socialist in the United States Senate, Bernie Sanders of Vermont." McCain's not the first to plead ignorance on a nonsensical claim. Back in March, Hillary Clinton drew heckles from Obama supporters for her less-than-decisive answer to a question about whether Barack Obama was a Muslim. "There's nothing to base that on ... as far as I know," she said. More recently, both Joe Lieberman and Tom Delay have suggested Obama might be a Marxist. It's a tricky move. Some accusations — the Muslim charges, for example, or the absurd claims in 2000 that McCain had fathered a black child — demand outright denial. But others, like being a Socialist, aren't quite as controversial. Conservative radio hosts like Glenn Beck regularly refer to Obama as a Socialist. From McCain's perspective, why discourage them? ...

Yesterday, Ben Bernanke gave a speech about financial regulation . In the speech he discussed what happened with Bear Stearns. It is an interesting explanation. As you are aware, one of the key events in financial markets in recent months was the near-bankruptcy in March of the investment bank Bear Stearns. The collapse of Bear Stearns was triggered by a run of its creditors and customers, analogous to the run of depositors on a commercial bank. This run was surprising, however, in that Bear Stearns's borrowings were largely secured--that is, its lenders held collateral to ensure repayment even if the company itself failed. However, the illiquidity of markets in mid-March was so severe that creditors lost confidence that they could recoup their loans by selling the collateral. Hence, they refused to renew their loans and demanded repayment. This is a really interesting situation and it explains a great deal about the problems in the credit markets. Even though the lenders had collateral in their hands they were unsure they could actually sell the collateral. Bernanke makes no mention of what type of collateral the lenders had. However, I seriously doubt lenders took highly exotic paper to secure a loan. Assuming that to be a fair reading of the situation, we know the credit markets were literally frozen solid. Bear Stearns's contingency planning had not envisioned a sudden loss of access to secured funding, so it did not have adequ ...

What's the difference between a capitalist and a Socialist? Apparently, about 3,000 points in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Back when the DJIA was up at 14,000 and climbing — about nine months ago — tough-minded capitalists were explaining that government intervention was always bad for the economy. For example, if homeowners got suckered into bad loans they couldn't repay and were about to lose their home, that was their own fault — fools have to pay the price for being fools. ...

I just took a McCain poll appearing on Linked-In. From a media perspective, the Linked-in poll idea is fascinating because once you respond, you get to see how other Linked-In users respond with results broken out by sex, age, industry. Wow, that’s powerful as a media experience for Linked-In and HUGE as a [...] ...

After reading Ryan Bergs' "The basics of creating a tumblelog with Django" (part1) and (part2) , I realized that I wanted a similar tumblog/life stream but I didn't want to have to go through all the work of saving those objects to the database. After all, isn't all that data already stored in their respective systems. And since I am using FriendFeed, which is again duplicating all that data, I don't want to be duplicating it yet another time. That's when the light bulb went off. Using the FriendFeed API and a bit of caching I can pull in my lifestream from FriendFeed using only a custom tag. So I came up with what I call lifefeed Just add "lifefeed" to your installed apps and you can now do this from any template {% load lifefeed %}{% load cache %} {% cache 900 friendfeed %} {% lifefeed "YOUR FRIEND FEED USERNAME" %} {% endcache %} You can use the default friendfeed.html template that comes with lifefeed or use your own. You will most definitely want to use your own CSS to style the items since I am no CSS guru . lifefeed is very simple right now but I would like to add more to it. Like Consolidate duplicate twitter/pownce/brightkite posts Display FriendFeed comments To see an example of lifefeed in action check the sidebar on this page, you may have to scroll down a bit. So what do you think? ...

Revealing a deeper plunge into senile dementia, McCain declared that Obama might actually be a Socialist. That Obama is the candidate of the Democratic Party apparently flew over the clipped brow of McCain, who also stated that Obama is at least more Socialist than Senator Barry Sanders, the Socialist senator from Vermont.   »  original news ...

Using the same template European Union (EU) and the former Soviet Union counterparts follow, or followed, America’s Socialist oriented bureaucrats (SOBs) gravitate to positions of policy influence.  Recognizing that a well-placed like-minded Socialist confidant, as with activist judicial appointments, can impose or quietly override the will of the electorate majority, America’s SOBs are very devious.  Following the lead staked out by the mainstream media, press, many in Hollywood, too many educators and most public bureaucrats, America’s SOBs have acquired undue influence over our lives. ...

Given the makeup of academia, this really isn't surprising. The occasional validation feels good.
