“Buy American”: op-ed from Warren Buffett about why now is the perfect time to be buying up stocks. Money quote (pun intended): “Today people who hold cash equivalents feel comfortable. They shouldn’t. They have opted for a terrible long-term asset, one that pays virtually nothing and is certain to depreciate in value. Indeed, the policies that government will follow in its efforts to alleviate the current crisis will probably prove inflationary and therefore accelerate declines in the real value of cash accounts.”

The Pose

Like Stumping Fish in a Barrel

2008-10-02T04:05:40Z

Couric Stumps Palin with Supreme Court Question: Personally, I would have come back all smart-assed with “Y’know, Katie, I’ve never been fond of Plessy. SCOTUS really screwed the pooch on those.” I definitely think there’s something to this “gotcha journalism” charge. But I can name eleven decisions off the top of my head, after the jump, to varying degrees of judicial precision.

Marbury v. Madison
Lochner v. New York
Plessy v. Ferguson
Brown v. Board of Education
Miranda v. Arizoan
Pacifica
Roe v. Wade
Dred Scott
Northern Pacific
That one that struck down the NRA
Kelo

After reviewing this list, I of course slapped my forehead repeatedly.
