The Federal Bureau of Non-Investigation
The Federal Bureau of Non-Investigation On Monday, ABC News first reported that Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan had reached out to al Qaeda associates prior to his attack.

HSBC, one of the biggest banks on the planet, has taken to calling itself "the world's local bank." Starbucks is un-branding at least three of its Seattle outlets, the first of which just reopened as "15th Avenue Coffee and Tea." Winn-Dixie, a 500-outlet supermarket chain, recently launched a new ad campaign under the tagline, "Local flavor since 1956."Scarborough Schooled on Health Care
Joe Scarborough Is Shocked, Yet Awed by Single-Payer Logic Something rather remarkable happened on Tuesday's Morning Joe. Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York pointed out that the health insurance industry has no clothes, and Joe Scarborough, after first trying to spin it some gossamer threads, broke down and said, By God, you're right, this emperor is a naked money-making machine!Robust Weakness
Robust Weakness By R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. WASHINGTON -- The anti-government protests in Iran following the government's rigged elections are doubtless a little more than the "robust debate" among Iranians that President Barack Obama welcomed during the election. Some of the debaters have been shot dead.The National Socialism of Obamanomics
The National Socialism of Obamanomics By James Srodes It is commonplace today to believe we should refer to the benign innovations of John Maynard Keynes during the Great Depression in order to understand what is driving President Obama’s team of economic strategists. But a look back to that time leads one to conclude the Depression-era economist who appears most relevant to what is going on bears the improbable name of Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht.

More than a bad day: Worries grow that Barack Obama & Co. have a competence problem Michael Goodwin Sunday Daily News, March 15th 2009, Not long ago, after a string of especially bad days for the Obama administration, a veteran Democratic pol approached me with a pained look on his face and asked, "Do you think they know what they're doing?"

Kausfiles (Slate Magazine) Obama Buffetted First Time The MSM Has Ever Ignored Warren Buffett: The press accounts I've read have wildly underplayed Obama supporter Warren Buffet's criticism of the President on CNBC today. It's fairly pointed, and Buffett comes back to it, suggesting he has a message he's trying to deliver. [E.A.]: BUFFETT: ...And, Joe, it--if you're in a war, and we really are on an economic war, there's a obligation to the majority to behave in ways that don't go around inflaming the minority.Obama goes AWOL on Afghanistan.

How to Detoxify the Banks Separating the wheat from the chaff. by Jim Prevor (founder and CEO of Phoenix Media Network, Inc) The Bush and Obama administrations have shared an unwillingness to see any of the major banks go under, hence the problem we have in solving the current banking and financial crisis. Though both presidents pointed to an alleged systemic risk to the economy owing to the size of the big banks, it is probably also true that any administration would be sensitive to the enormous weight these institutions carry as symbols of American prosperity, influence, and power.The Obama-Geithner Bear Market
The Obama-Geithner Bear Market Robert Lenzner, 02.13.09, 07:00 PM EST (Forbes) This is not the kind of stimulus our economy needs to get back on its feet when our banks still struggle with solvency.
