In 2009 Mary Tyler Moore said she was a fan of Charles Krauthammer and Bill O’Reilly. For me she is a great Indigenous Woman of the Anglosphere. A woman who loved, understood and helped develop the culture she was born into. She was an icon for the feminist movement but rejected Gloria Steinem's attempts to get her support. She described herself as a libertarian centrist. She believed in freedom and in women focusing on being moms. Her production company MTM facilitated Steve Bochco in getting the creative freedom for his team's acting filming and writing talent to revolutionise television through...

ATLANTA — A Channel 2 Action News investigation has found that Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her husband have two active homestead exemptions, which is against Georgia law. A homestead exemption is a big tax break any Georgia homeowner is entitled to for their primary residence. It is against the law to file for more than one. But Channel 2 investigative reporter Justin Gray pulled records showing that the Greenes are getting the tax break on two different homes in two different counties. In a statement, Greene’s office told Gray to mind his own business and called it a...

WJM-TV seemed like fun place to work, as both a fictional office and as a television production set. It was clear that the cast of The Mary Tyler Moore loved the job as much as they loved each other. As we continue to mourn the loss of its titanic, titular star, we have been coping the best way we know how — by laughing along with classic footage of Moore and her sitcom. If there's one thing the series taught us, it's that levity is needed along with drama. Thankfully, someone has given us a behind-the-scenes peek at the production...

The great thing about being a living legend is that you can pretty much speak your mind without major repercussions. I was reminded of that Thursday night when I found myself chatting with Ed Asner at a party celebrating the upcoming season at the Fitzgerald Theater. Asner's in town for his one-man performance as Franklin Delano Roosevelt. By way of saying hello, I asked him what he thought of the announcement earlier in the day that Mary Tyler Moore would be getting a lifetime achievement award from the Screen Actors Guild. Asner, 81, hadn't heard the news and, based on...

We have been accused of beating a dead horse when it comes to our support for either suspension of, or targeted relief from, market-to-market accounting. And we suppose after writing thousands of words, producing videos and giving speeches about the issue, some might be tempted to let it go. But we can't do that, especially when the government continues to spend trillions of dollars and is coming very close to bank nationalization.

There was a newsflash this morning on Reuters that "Mark to Market is NOT going to be suspended", allegedly sourced from someone at the SEC. MTM was put into place after ENRON due to the amazing abuses on their balance sheet with asset "valuations" in an attempt to prevent re-runs of that debacle. It has been circumvented to a large part by "Level 3" assets, which are in fact marked to model (same thing as non-MTM eh?) So why the furor? Let's say you are a bank and have $1 billion of some bond issue that was stuffed to the...
