2. Buffet believes in America
And it is very, very interesting to see his move into media. He is looking for a great investment, but this time I think it's personal. I hope he is looking to wrest control from the liars that are ruining his America.

4. I'll have to look into Echostar satellite now
Edited on Tue Feb-15-05 12:04 PM by NewJeffCT
The RW has a 30 year head start on us, though.

on edit - found out the Echostar owns Dish Network, which I already have.

5. I'm Hoping This Is ONLY A FIRST STEP
Soros + Buffett working in tandem can give the fascists a good run for their money!!

7. Maybe Kerry could take some of the millions
he is holding onto 'til '08 and make a worthwhile investment.

After all, isn't like he would be hurting for cash.

8. Didn't Buffet promise Jon Stewart a "Manhattan Project" for Alt. Energy?
Jon came up with the idea, and it sure looked like Warren Buffet agreed he would fund a "Manhattan Project" style program to develop alternative energy.

I'll find the clip in a few after I finish some posts. The Comedy Central web page sometimes crashes my browser.
