Nouriel Roubini? Nah. Kenneth Rogoff. The former IMF chief economist was speaking at a conference in Singapore on Tuesday, warning of much more pain to come.

Last week Fox News ran a story about how things were going so well in Fallujah that they've opened their first KFC franchise to keep the locals hooked up with quality Fried Chicken. They even got ret. Gen. Tommy Franks to comment on the great news. The whole thing sounded a bit iffy to us. So unlike Fox News we decided to ring up KFC World Headquarters to find out if the story was really true . Afraid not. Things may be going swimmingly in the former insurgent hotspot. But there's no KFC in town. In fact, KFC tells us they're now "working with the US Military to warn the troops of this situation", whatever that means. ...

A September 4 Associated Press article by Glen Johnson reported former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's claim that Gov. Sarah Palin "got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, than [Sen.] Joe Biden got running for president of the United States." Johnson did not challenge the claim, despite the AP's characterization of the claim in a September 3 " fact check " as a "Whopper." In that article, reporter Jim Kuhnhenn wrote: "Palin got 616 votes in the 1996 mayor's election, and got 909 in her 1999 re-election race, for a total of 1,525. Biden dropped out of the race after the Iowa caucuses, but he still got 76,165 votes in 23 states and the District of Columbia where he was on the ballot during the 2008 presidential primaries." From the September 4 AP article: Meanwhile, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, known for his wit and humor on the trail, rebuffed those who questioned Palin's experience. "I want to tell you folks something," said Huckabee. "She got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States." From the September 3 AP "fact check" by Jim Kuhnhenn: FORMER ARKANSAS GOV. MIKE HUCKABEE: Palin "got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States." THE FACTS: A Whopper.

Tam : Okay, so, Russian tanks have rolled into Georgia; Russki fighter bombers are swooping around, bombing the crap out of stuff. What does our intrepid journalist write? "News reports documented fierce clashes between Georgian and Russian forces -- engagements that caused deaths, property damage, and population displacement..." No! Really?!? Not property damage! Quick! Call State Farm! I swear, what are they teaching at journalism school these days? This clown could have muffed D-Day: "Allied and German forces clashed along the beaches of Normandy today, snarling traffic, damaging vacation cottages, and killing some people. Also, a woman reported having her hair mussed by a 14" shell from the USS Texas." This is a military invasion, for chrissakes, not a tornado in a traffic jam.

Lehman Brothers saw a 13.04 per cent fall in its share prices last night as fears over the state of its results grew, while a senior US economist warned the credit crunch would bring a Whopper bank to its knees. The investment bank's share price fell $1.96 to $13.07 yesterday on Wall Street as fears the worst of the credit crunch was still to be felt. This compares with a 52-week high of $67.73. Analysts at JPMorgan now expect Lehman Brothers to be forced to write off £4 billion in August, following over $8 billion in writedowns already made. Earlier this year the investment bank posted its first loss amounting to $2.8 billion for the second quarter in its 14 years as a listed company. The New York Times now reports Lehman Brothers could sell off its money management division to raise capital. Yesterday Kenneth Rogoff former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned another US bank could fail as the US economy was "not out of the woods". Speaking at a Singapore conference, he said: "I would even go further to say the worst is to come. "We're not just going to see mid-sized banks go under in the next few months. We're going to see a Whopper, we're going to see a big one, one of the big investment banks or big banks." mform ... Source: www.investorsiraq.com --- 26 days ago

A leading economist has warned that another big American bank could fail as a result of the credit crunch within the coming months. Professor Kenneth Rogoff, the former chief economist of the IMF, said: “The US is not out of the woods. I think the financial crisis is at the halfway point, perhaps. I would even go further to say the worst is to come… We’re not just going to see mid-sized banks go under in the next few months, we’re going to see a Whopper, we’re going to see a big one — one of the big investment banks or big banks.” ...

Any decent PR Flack will tell you that if you have something you want to hide, release it on a Friday. And since Erik “The Hustler” Paulsen wants to hide who he really is, he held a press conference yesterday, on a Friday. And he told a Whopper; a Whopper that’s been told by other republiCons; and a Whopper that’s been thoroughly and completely debunked. Asked to clarify that Whopper, by the media, instead of acknowledging a mistake and trying to move on, Paulsen just danced. read more ... Source: www.bakersfield.com --- 23 days ago

We all know it’s not nice to lie. And most of us realize that, aside from the little white lies that get lumped under the innocuous (and incredibly flexible) heading of “social lubrication,” lying can be both negative and highly destructive. But what about exaggeration? The average person would probably lump exaggeration in with lying, although [...] ... Find more results for Whopper on RSSMicro.com |

Watch your back, Ronald McDonald. Somebody might be gaining on you. A vanguard of new fast-food chains is testing the Bay State’s appetite for burger alternatives. While the industry’s big three of McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s continue to dominate the fast-food burger segment, entrepreneurs see potential for start-up hamburger chains to take business both from the industry leaders and the struggling casual dining segment. “People enjoy a really good burger, especially right now with everything being so expensive,” said Sean Olson, who has an agreement to open 11 Five Guys Burgers and Fries outlets in Norfolk County. Fast-growing Five Guys arrives in Massachusetts next week with the opening of Olson’s first restaurant in Dedham, with locations in Foxboro and Dartmouth to follow. Colorado-based chain Red Robin Gourmet Burgers opened its fifth Bay State restaurant last month at Patriot Place in Foxboro as part of a 43-store nationwide expansion this year. Wild Willy’s Burgers opened its sixth New England location in Natick last month, and start-up UBurger will open its second Boston restaurant in September. The big three comprised 73.3 percent of the nation’s fast-service burger segment in 2007, up from 70 percent the previous year, according to Chicago-based restaurant consultancy Technomic. Although McDonald’s enjoyed a turnaround in 2007, fueled partially by its new salads and healthier menu items, the big three have limite ...
