New Dow high ahead? Happy talk feeds sheep Paul B. Farrell - MarketWatch
"BusinessWeek, Kiplinger's and USA Today reported on the false predictions made before the 2008 subprime credit meltdown spread rapidly across America and the world:
Bernanke: 'I don't anticipate any serious [failures] among large internationally active banks.'
Ken Fisher: 'This year will end in the plus column ... so keep buying.'
'Mad Money' Jim Cramer: 'Bye-bye bear market, say hello to the bull.'
Goldman Sachs' Abby Joseph Cohen: 'The fear priced into stocks is likely to abate as recession fears fade.'
Barney Frank: 'Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are fundamentally sound.'
Barron's: 'Home prices about to bottom.'
Worth magazine: 'Emerging markets are the global investors' safe haven.'
Kiplinger's: 'Stock investors should beat the rush to the banks.'"

Marathon Pundit: Obama's union pals plotting pension bailouts
Marathon Pundit: Obama's union pals plotting pension bailouts
'We spent a fortune to elect Barack Obama -- $60.7 million to be exact -- and we're proud of it.'
SEIU President Andy Stern.
The payback for Barack Obama's union pals continues.
The silent but economically devastating agenda of organized labor is attended to daily at the highest levels within the White House.
Turning to their friends for help with under-funded and mismanaged pension plans, government contracting policies, and initiatives that weaken workers' rights and force unionization on small businesses, Big Labor's looking for payback and they are receiving it.
Just last week, Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania introduced a bill that would dump the burden of union pension plans, which are going bankrupt, on the federal government; therefore, placing the costs at the feet of taxpayers."

Tea Party Express Stops at Capitol
Tea Party Express Stops at Capitol
"Tea Party Express Stops at CapitolBy Tom Gantert April 11, 2010
Fresh off the retirement of Bart Stupak, the Michigan congressman who became the face of tea party wrath over the federalized health care bill, the national Tea Party Express rolled into Lansing on Satuday and was met by about 1,800 people."

This College Says: Get a Job -- or Get Your Money Back
This College Says: Get a Job -- or Get Your Money Back
"Lansing Community College in Lansing, Mich., offers six-week training courses for students interested in careers as call-center specialists, pharmacy technicians, quality inspectors and computer machinists.
The cost for each of these certificate programs is is $2,400, but a special money-back guarantee program is being offered to 61 students.
If they attend every class, complete every assignment, and make a good-faith effort to get a job, if they are unable to find employment within a year after graduation, they'll get their tuition back."
This seems to be a safe bet from the LCC perspective:
The "attend every class, complete every assignment, and make a good-faith effort to get a job" isn't likely the norm for ANY LCC student who can't get a job.
It's sorta the key to success without worrying about getting your money back.
Like, isn't that the reason a kid goes to college..to get a job?
But it sure sounds like an excellent idea for most major universities.
If this was the rule, imagine how many communications or black studies programs would shut down right NOW.

When Civil Rights Make Civil Hands Unclean
American Thinker: When Civil Rights Make Civil Hands Unclean
"The advocates of 'social justice' masquerade as partisans of civil rights, but they are actually practitioners of civil wrongs.
Some people in this country think that they have a right to use government compulsion to overcome the free will of their fellow citizens.
In the name of 'social justice,' they claim to have a 'civil right' to health care, and they assert that their fellow citizens have a corresponding civil duty to finance that civil right.
If their fellow citizens disagree, the proponents of 'social justice' have no qualms about using government power to compel their fellow citizens to submit to their notion of civil rights."
