What a week...

What a week.  General P, fiscal cliff, DOW plummeting, Israel and Hamas.... The world is a fascinating place with so many dynamics at work.  Selfishly I hope Congress addresses this budget / "Fiscal Cliff" issue very soon with precision as the markets are already very skittish about it.  BO needs to be a leader and push the parties together on a compromise that works for all.  Specifically real cuts in spending and reforming the tax code with the focus on reducing deductions. 

With respect to Israel, this situation is very bad and I can never see it getting better.  As long as the Palestinians and Hamas resides within the borders of Israel (legitimate or not), there will never be peace. Does everyone agree?

Finally, General P, what a fall.  I not sure if you gave up any intelligence because of your affair, but more importantly, I lost respect for you as just one of the thousands of politicians who cheat on their spouses.......

Have a great weekend!
