Riding the ups and downs
Some people geared pretty heavily to put money into super prior to June 30, 2007," Mr Rowley said. "That was a big strategy for many people getting close to retirement and I would think a lot of that was in self-managed funds. "Clearly, today many of those people will be sitting on a big paper loss," he said. However, for many DIY super investors they can be slow to invest. "Many people don't get around to investing the money in their SMSF and they leave it in the bank," Mr Rowley said."The cash component of SMSFs is usually very high, which might have saved some people from recent hefty market losses." Statistics from the Australian Tax Office indicate that of the $300 billion in self-managed super funds, 56 per cent is invested in shares. About 22 per cent is held in cash deposits and about 11 per cent is in property.
Obama Supporter Bill Bradley on What Happened in New Hampshire
COLMES: We heard buzz words from the right, as we just heard from partner here, national health care they think is a bad thing. They accuse Democrats of wanting to raise taxes when they want to rescind the Bush tax cuts on the upper income people. So it's all a matter of how you define this stuff. BRADLEY: I think one of Barack's points that's really an important point and a unifying point — and I agree with it — the biggest lie perpetrated on the American public in the last 40 years has been the so called red-blue divide. If you were at a little league baseball game and a parent of the shortstop is next to you, do you say, I wonder if they're red or blue? HANNITY: He does. COLMES: Well, actually, I have a feeling — If I got sick, before he would give me mouth to mouth resuscitation, he'd want to see if I had an ACLU card.
The Curse of Atomic Weapons and Power
America, right now, is poisoning the area known as the cradle of civilization. We grew up calling it Mesopotamia. The name Iraq doesn't convey its 10,000+ year history of human settlement. An interesting side-effect of our use of Depleted Uranium weapons is that, because of their extraordinarily-long half-life of four and a half billion years, the evidence of our assault on civilians who have not even been born yet, will be detectable (with sophisticated equipment) for about 50 to 100 billion years. The earth is only about 5 billion years old, according to the geological record! Two, or ten, or a hundred generations from now, or a thousand, anyone will be able to find clear evidence of our use of uranium weaponry. Uranium fragments. Deformities among the local population. All these things will be discernable.
the has-been
Reagan, he says, made Republicans "the party that would change government, not sustain it." Gingrich offered "a detailed list of congressional and governmental reforms that took power away from the smoke-filled rooms and returned it to the people." And what has Bush done to make Republicans the party of reform? Mehlman's answer: "President George W. Bush reorganized our entire security system, creating the Department of Homeland Security." No wonder Republicans feel like killing themselves. The only hope their own chairman can give them that they're not the party of government is that Bush created the largest, costliest new federal bureaucracy in American history. When the GOP's cheerleader thinks a bloated bureaucratic nightmare with 170,000 employees is a shining example of "limited government" and "our Party at its best," even Republicans seem to be saying sayonara to conservatism.
