The much maligned accounting principle of “mark to market” accounting has received an important clarification today from regulators at the SEC. “When an active market for a security does not exist, the use of management estimates that incorporate current market participant expectations of future cash flows, and include appropriate risk premiums, is acceptable.” source FASB [...]

Obama buzzed in Florida
Posted on September 20, 2008 by nuke
Joe Biden’s most recent gaffe was brought up on the campaign trail by Sarah Palin at a Cedar Rapids rally…. “our opponents, they have some strange ideas about raising taxes. To them, raising taxes – and Joe Biden said it again today — raising taxes is about patriotism.” That line brought a chorus of boos. [...]

Friday Reading
Posted on September 19, 2008 by nuke
The new digital “brownshirts”: Informed observers don’t get “the facts” only from a political campaign. They read and listen to the independent media outlets – the same outlets the thin-skinned Mr. Obama is currently trying to quash. Corning Inc. blasts Obama ad: More of the “new” politics from the anointed one. An update from Galveston: [...]

Posted on September 16, 2008 by Murder of Ravens
It occurs to me that my one man rant against the tobacco prohibitionists (and let’s be real here, that’s just what they are) may get me into hot water some day. People who speak up for freedom usually do end that way. And make no mistake: this isn’t just about my right to smoke a [...]

Saying Goodbye To “Buddy”…A Loving Tribute In Tears!
Posted on September 16, 2008 by no2liberals
As I look at the above picture of Ma’Boy, Buddy, I am reminded of how happy we all were, how he loved my mother and me, and how joyously he viewed life. Buddy was always an indoor cat. He never knew what it was to be cold, wet, hungry, or chased by a dog. His [...]

This is the future

The anti tobacco movement is reaching new heights of audacity in their desire to curb personal freedom and turn law abiding citizens into criminals. As this newspaper article from the future shows, I will not go quietly. September 13, 2040 Residents of a quiet Boston neighborhood were stunned to learn of the arrest and imprisonment [...]

If McCain is “just like George Bush,” then Obama is just like ??
Posted on September 12, 2008 by nuke
A tale in pictures, courtesy of Free Republic The Obama campaign’s mantra is that John McCain is “just like George Bush”. Well, there are some distinct similarities. Both men have the respect and admiration of our warriors. Both were military aviators. McCain saw combat in Vietnam; George Bush volunteered, but was not sent. And both [...]

More interesting polling results from… Gallup The positive impact of the GOP convention on polling indicators of Republican strength is further seen in the operation of Gallup’s “likely voter” model in this survey. Republicans, who are now much more enthused about the 2008 election than they were prior to the convention, show heightened interest in [...]

Democracy? We don’t need no stinkin’ democracy!

Greetings from Loony Massachusetts, the second goofiest state in the country! This one has me really riled up! It may seem at first like a local issue, but it is already happening in other parts of the country. The implications here are ominous, not just for smokers, but for the very concept of representative democracy. [...]
