Thanks for the post. Goes a long way to explain Buffet's recent comments. He has always struck me as the epitomy of the no-nonsense bottom line oriented businessman.

Interesting. Who am I ...a mere mortal to question Buffett's bottom line acumen? ...therefore I won't. But his politics, his views on estate taxation and his attitudes towards his family all are to say the least....less than admirable.

Hes right about the nuke if we don't get the Arabs soon. The only hard thing about making a nuke is getting the neccasary critical mass of U-235. After that you just need an electronics expert.

Every time Buffett raises the alarm, he may be trying to remind Congress it has to protect the insurance industry.

Excellent comment. Give me Jimmy Buffet, not Warren.

The Whoreacle of Omaha. All I need to know about that bloated hypocrite is that, even though he made his fortune at capitalism's altar, he once contributed to Ramparts magazine, a commie front rag. Oh, and he is a consistent liberal.

He's a fake, a windbag, and a poser. Hell's loss will be Omaha's gain.
