Speaking of Omaha, where's Warren Buffett stand on this election? Is he going for Obama? (if I recall he's actually a democrat, isn't he?)

Warren Buffet has endorsed Obama.

So, do we want Obama to win badly enough that we'd like the entire economy to tank? For millions of people to lose their jobs? For fiscal conditions that will completely cripple the next Administration no matter who wins?

Huh? What does one have to do with the other?

Who are you talking to?

Because Buffett's wrong SO often where the economy is concerned.

Oh thank you for the correction! I also said "precinct" when I meant congressional district.

I don't think anything will change in the economy right now regardless of whether we want Obama or McCain to win. Listening to the news today, though, it looks like the ripples are hitting Europe, and even one bank in China.

Taliban split with al Qaeda, seek peace
By Nic Robertson

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Taliban leaders are holding Saudi-brokered talks with the Afghan government to end the country's bloody conflict -- and are severing their ties with al Qaeda, sources close to the historic discussions have told CNN.

King Abdullah of Saudia Arabia hosted meetings between the Afghan government and the Taliban, a source says.

The militia, which has been intensifying its attacks on the U.S.-led coalition that toppled it from power in 2001 for harboring Osama bin Laden's terrorist network, has been involved four days of talks hosted by Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, says the source.

The talks -- the first of their kind aimed at resolving the lengthy conflict in Afghanistan -- mark a significant move by the Saudi leadership to take a direct role in Afghanistan, hosting delegates who have until recently been their enemies.
