    It's Easy to Beat the Market!

    OK, asshole. Everyone who has made millions of dollars in the market over the course of decades just got lucky for years on end, or people are too dumb to understand their explanation. Congratulations on being the first person on RPF that I've put on ignore.

    Wikipedia Editors Needed For Rand Paul!!

    I deleted the isolationist reference. You can tell it wasn't the Tea Party who put that reference in there because the previous sentence says he is a part of the Tea Party movement. Six or seven months ago it used to be one sentence, without a reference to Ron Paul, saying:

    Libertarian approach/solution to flashing/exhibitionism

    Public nudity is not prohibited by Vermont state law. Some towns prohibit nudity in certain areas of the towns, like parks, but permit it in other areas. Every few years a couple of people will walk around naked in the permitted areas just to get some attention. No one is traumatized, they don't...

    Welfare spending as a percent of total government spending?

    The first person to start collecting a SS check was Ida May Fuller. Her total contribution to SS amounted to $24.75. She collected $22,888.92. No one gets back the money they put into it - they collect what the next generation pays into it. The whole thing is a pyramid scheme. It worked fine...

    Would someone well versed in the markets kindly explain the significance of these graphs?

    That's volatility, not volume. Falling volatility is sometimes associated with a rising market, so the chart is implying that, with volatility at a low, the market has to top. That might happen, but isn't a foregone conclusion. If the chart went back further, you would see rising volatility with...

    Which do you think is the best political computer game?

    Rome: Total War. I always lower a city's taxes after conquering it. Of course, I always choose to massacre them, so there aren't many people left. On the other hand, I've also overthrown entire nations simply by assassinating all of its leaders, so that means fewer battles and that saves a lot...

    Margin debt drops

    Margin debt dropped another 2.9% in April. It's now down 6.1% when added to the March decline. The S&P 500 had very slight increases both months and is up 1.3% over the same period.

    Militia: Operation American Spring to hit D.C. to oust Obama, Biden, Boehner, Holder

    This promoted for... it seems like about a year. Definitely since last year. I've seen it on 4chan's /pol/, a CT Glenn Beck meetup email list, and it was mentioned at a VA Tea Party group meeting. It didn't get much support in any of those places. It seems like the people promoting it want to...

    Mark Levin may get his evil wish to convene a Constitutional Convention

    I don't think a CC will draft a better constitution than the one we have. In fact, I think it will be much worse, and I welcome the change, keeping in mind that it will only be a nominal change because the present constitution doesn't limit government even a little. I think a CC will motivate...

    Mark Levin may get his evil wish to convene a Constitutional Convention

    The arguments against a CC don't seem to have much merit. You guys are afraid that the constitution will be changed into something horrible while at the same time admitting that it is completely ineffectual in its current state. You're really trying to preserve something that doesn't work...

    RNC Changes 2016 Debate Rules

    So-called fringe candidates are generally the source of new ideas. If they're too far out, they usually don't have any credentials to run on and don't make it into the debates. Did you ever see Vermin Supreme in a debate? He ran as a Republican in 2008. The media ignored him. Without the...

    What's Going on at the Bundy Ranch?

    He's back in New Hampshire and has been since at least the beginning of this week. He's hosting a 9/12 meeting on May 12, and it was posted four days ago. The topic is his experience at the Bundy ranch. http://www.meetup.com/rochester-912-project/events/181493132/ Shemdogg is in that group...

    CT Man Charged with 49 Counts of Failure to Register High Capacity Magazines

    The woman who called the police wasn't even there when the alleged threats were made against Koller's mom, who refuses to sign off on the alleged threats against her. The whole incident was initiated from hearsay...

    Rand Paul slips to #2 in Chris Cillizza presidential power rankings, Jeb Bush from #9 to #1

    It's not true that the other candidates aren't campaigning. Just last month there was an article about how Corrupt Corpulence has managed to get a couple of his inner circle people into high profile positions in New Hampshire, including Executive Director of the state Republican party. Ted Cruz...
