Today on LRC I explain why America really is in a recession and has been so since at least November last year despite the seemingly positive growth (Which as I explain really isn’t positive). So if you haven’t already read it, do it now….

Bill Miller is kicking himself this morning. The second-largest shareholder in Yahoo, he wanted $35 to sell out to Microsoft, and so he held on to his shares rather than hand them over to arbitrageurs at $29 or so. But now that Microsoft has picked up its ball and gone home, Miller has decided that if Ballmer isn’t going to start buying Yahoo shares shares then maybe Yang should. H…

This is an awful attempt at a blog post .
I would rather he make Yahoo Finance better. Maybe integrate a few things…seeing it’s 2008.
I want to own stocks going up, not hear from CEO’s passing up gigantour increases to shareholder value without a real plan to get me the same place.
Deep down i am glad the deal did’nt happen…it was a retarded idea. That does not mean Jerry should not have jumped at the idea when he could.

Mark Cuban is pretty hateful on web video. He has hated YouTube forever. Hate does not make you money.
His hate has been misplaced. He should have been hating on Jason Kidd so that he would not have blown the franchise.
He does makes some excellent points about the problems for the web video industry , but when you look at any industry in the top of the first inning, it’s easy to poke holes.

Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting kicked off Friday and, as luck would have it, one of the 27,000 (tiny) fractional owners of the company is a DealBreaker reader. Curtis Walker has been liveblogging the jamboree, which, in year’s past, has included Warren Buffett losing to an 1…

Check out this unintentionally hilarious paragraph from a completely fatuous editorial in today’s Washington Post.
Chelsea has been winning kudos in this campaign as an effective surrogate for Hillary Rodham Clinton, but I keep wondering whether she’s an effective representative for us. Like me, Chelsea’s a twentysomething (28 to my 29), a member of the generation that, as it happens, I spend a lot of time learning and writing about. We’re ironic, sarcastic and self-deprecating, a reflection of the pop culture and politics that played out while we grew up in the 1980s, 1990s and onward. We were weaned on Chevy Chase movies (”Spies Like Us,” of course, being the best), grunge and MTV’s “The Real World” (seasons 1 and 2 only, please) and trained by the Onion, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to detect spin in the most banal comments. People my age shed privacy at the nearest high-speed Internet connection and, more often than not, display the very grown-up qualities of self-awareness and self-reflection.
