Dr. George Tiller, a Kansas physician well-known as a prominent abortion activist, has been murdered.
I’ll be honest; I won’t mourn that an abortionist is gone. But I will mourn that a human life has been ended unjustly. And this killing, assuming that it was done by a pro-life believer who wanted to kill Dr. Tiller, is likely to set back the pro-life cause considerably.
RIP Dr. Tiller, and God bring comfort to your family.

Bond market iffy for next US treasuries auction.
Gee, it’s such a mystery. Rip off bondholders in the Chrysler bankruptcy, then ask the market “hey, anybody want to buy some bonds?”
Yeah, sign me up for that deal, please. Also, I need some ground glass for my eyeballs, and how about a rough proctological exam while we’re making wishlists.
Are they trying to crash the economy so that they can get the public to demand solutions, any solutions – even crazy socialist ones?

A businessman finally dissents. Amen, Mr. Asness.
Obama thinks this is going to cow the business population so that they will go along with his socialist agenda. He’s probably right; business leaders have been pretty spineless through all this.
Yet, the business population and the investor population aren’t identical. Investors aren’t cowed, they’re scared shitless – presumably Obama isn’t going to gut everybody’s shareholder value, but where will the messiah’s finger next point? I’d say you’d have to be nuts to have money in health care, real estate, or transportation stocks these days. In any sector Obama thinks could do with some updating, shareholders are going to be running for the hills.

Bastards!
The little children cried when the White House staff wouldn’t let them in. Wait until the little tykes see their share of the new deficit.
