For those that do not subscribe to and/or read the IBD Editorials, here are a few VERY interesting posts from IBD. I read them everyday but rarely re-post their stories...I merely post a link to their site. This time is different. IBD sends out an email alert and the email contains a snippet to whet the appetite, as it were. Each and every snippet can be turned into a post of its own if one were to conduct the research the authors at IBD has done and I do that from time to time and approach the topic from a different angle which generally ends up at the same conclusion. The difference being, IBD has a semi-PC conclusion...they manage to tell someone to go to hell in such a manner that their would be pleased to adhere to. Anyway, here they are...

Election '08: A radical foreign-policy adviser to Barack Obama - flushed from the shadows after calling Hillary a name - speaks volumes about her enigmatic boss and his worldview. Read more
Economy: Central bankers aren't known for their creativity, but the Fed's move to refloat the troubled U.S. banking system is a great example of thinking outside the box. And it just might calm the world's markets. Read more
Now, think about the snippets a while and contemplate a spell. Out of the above excerpts, with a bunch of digging, thanks to the internet that Al made, what could YOU make of them?
Read every single link and let them sink in over a few cups of coffee. The Trade, Politics and Economy were the most interesting to me.
