holzman_tweedI love Lemley:
We saw pictures of King George doing his Teddy Roosevelt imitation on the plains of Africa and we hope those pictures play as well for him back home as the fly in on the aircraft carrier.
GW's promise of AIDs aid to Africa was immediately undermined by the Republican House of Representatives which cut the funds available this year by 33%. But on the 7/11 side of things 2/3rds of the pie is better than the benign neglect of Uncle Ronnie's years in office.
[...]
It's funny how the Halliburton name keeps popping up when favorable legislation and no bid contracts by the government are mentioned. We all know that Bill and Hillary Clinton were deeply involved with that company and that Bill was CEO before entering the Presidency and still is receiving deferred compensation from them. We mention this not to stir the hearts of clintonphopia but to remark on how good it is that Republicans seem to have recovered from their excessive distrust of Clinton and his business dealings. After all the lost money on the Whitewater deal, while he made $50 million on the Halliburton service, it good to see that Congress has gained some perspective on the issue and realizes that a guy has to make a living.
When you find a financial pundit and advisor who seemes to make money and espouse economics and politics similar to your own, it's a good thing.
