Swine Acronym Ordered Out of Barclays Capital Reports
"The securities unit of London-based Barclays Plc told analysts yesterday not to use the acronym for Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain in notes to clients, according to a memo obtained by Bloomberg News.
The mandate from Valerie Monchi was sent to research staff.
The Piigs nickname has grown increasingly popular in the last month as investors dumped assets in the euro zone’s smaller economies on concern the countries will struggle to control budget deficits."

Anti-Greed Michael Moore Wants Taxpayer Money
CARPE DIEM: Anti-Greed Michael Moore Wants Taxpayer Money
"'A Michigan Republican state senator is calling out filmmaker Michael Moore for requesting $1 million in tax subsidies for his movie “Capitalism: A Love Story,” in which the filmmaker decried the government bailout of Wall Street executives."
This $million subsidy would be coming from a bankrupt state.
You know the one.
The state with no money to fill pot holes or plow highways.
Yeah, that one.

Inside the New World of Airline Coupons
"'Now just about every airline has a promo-code box on its Web site,' says George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com, which sends alerts to its members when promotional codes are issued.
Some of the stealth deals are eye-popping.
UAL Corp.'s United Airlines, for example, is offering a free ticket plus two domestic-upgrade coupons to certain members of its frequent-flier program."

Tea Party Convention organizer: Tancredo gave 'fantastic speech' - CNN.com
Tea Party Convention organizer: Tancredo gave 'fantastic speech' - CNN.com
"Asked if he agrees with Tancredo's description of Obama, Phillips said,
'The word 'socialist' is a word you don't want to be labeled with in the American political system.
It's got a lot of negative connotations, but it also has a very specific political meaning.
It refers to a specific political ideology.
I think it is very clear that that is the political ideology of Barack Obama.'"
If he walks like a socialist, talks like an ignorant socialist, bullies like a dictatorial socialist and hangs around with socialists and Communists, he's gotta be a socialist.
I get the sense that the author of this article intended to shock with the "socialist" comment and denegrate the Tea Party movement.
He fails.

Seeking Security for Retirement Funds
Seeking Security for Retirement Funds
"And for the record, the one group that ought to wholeheartedly support this idea is AARP, the association of retired persons. But they won't.
Know why? Because they receive millions of dollars from insurance companies they endorse and co-market.
AARP rarely bites the hand that feeds them.
So I would encourage the AARP nonprofit directors to put their members’ interests ahead of their corporate subsidiary’s business interests, for a refreshing change."
AARP is a liberal whore that preys on its unsuspecting customers in order to buy senators and congressmen..
There is also the fact that public pensions are going broke in just every state in the USA.
