The 2007 edition of the report was released on April 17, with the media immediately seizing on the conclusion that "gaps continue to exist between black and white Americans." What the media did not note, however, is that the current rate of black unemployment is lower than the average rate achieved during President Bill Clinton's second term, and that black unemployment has dropped precipitously since the full implementation of President George W. Bush's tax cuts in late May 2003. | Dow 13,000

Markets are leadership evaluators. They assess the pronouncements of presidents and Fed chairmen. They appraise the decisions of CEOs. They prove or disprove the predictive power of financial forecasting models: Keynesian, Rubinomic, populist, Marxist, supply-side. Each model guessed at what was in store for investors and the economy all across the 2000-07 period. And only one model, the supply-side one that links growth and prosperity with low taxation and low regulation and free markets and a general environment of entrepreneurship and opportunity, consistently outperformed the rest. | Robots, Branding, Politics and More

We know a lot more now than we did on Monday. And we know for sure that Cho Seung-Hui had a problem with America. Today, of course, we are being bombarded by the contents of a package sent by the killer to the folks at NBC: videos, photos, writings, and ramblings - all disturbing and in their own way telling.

His fate is to be determined by the hierarchy of a large multinational conglomerate peopled with old friends of his. Oh, and by the way, he personally brings millions of dollars of profits into the business. Who, dear temporary Leftie, will the good old boy corporate network back - the wealthy white guy or working class black girls? |
