The important thing [...] From Economic Policy Journal: A day more significant than 9/11/01 should be marked in the history books: 8/16/12. On that day, an American minding his own business, outside of ranting on his Facebook page, was forcibly taken without charge from his home. The muscle used to grab Brandon Raub was local Chesterfield County, VA police. Also present during the grab were agents of the FBI and of the Secret Service. Both the FBI [...] Kevin “The Geek” Kerwin, a business man who owns a computer shop in Lake Oswego, Oregon, said he was slapped by a woman over an anti-Obama sign in his window, Victoria Taft wrote Tuesday. According to Taft, “Kerwin came to Oregon to get a fresh start after being wiped out by Hurricane Katrina.” She added that he started his business with the money he had in his pocket. After President Obama said business [...] Adan Salazar Yet another reason to boycott the Olympics?

Judge Kenneth Lester said Zimmerman’s bond will be set at $150,000. He will be placed on GPS monitoring, and will not be released from custody today. Zimmerman arrived in court about 9 [...] We are getting fatter. In Australia, the United States, and many other countries, it has become commonplace to see people so fat that they waddle rather than walk. The rise in obesity is steepest in the developed world, but it is occurring in middle-income and poor countries as well. Is a person’s weight his or her own business? Should we simply become more accepting of diverse body shapes? I don’t think [...] Wolf Richter www.testosteronepit.com While some people were fretting over Google’s new “privacy” policy that took effect March 1—“Calling this a ‘privacy policy’ is Orwellian doublespeak,” said John Simpson of Consumer Watchdog—others were counting the Google AdSense dollars from their blogs, hoping that Google could collect more user data so that ads would generate more revenues.

But looking ahead, as he’d been trained to do, Capo didn’t like what he saw. The housing bust was starting to strangle the Florida economy, the stock market was looking increasingly erratic and he didn’t want [...] The Obama economy is so bad that 77 percent of small business owners do not plan to hire any more workers despite all of Washington’s hype that the business climate is getting better.

Most shocking of all in the survey of small and medium sized business owners [...] From Peter Schiff’s prepared remarks to Congress. Schiff is the CEO of Euro Pacific Capital. “In my own business, securities regulations have prohibited me from hiring brokers for more than three years.
