And the reason, they say, is the D word. No, not "depression, but "deflation" --- the prices not just of stocks and bonds, but of everything falling like a stone. TRANSCRIPT Nov 20, 2008  The heads of the Big Three American car companies are smart fellows whose companies are in deep trouble. And that's why they were on Capitol Hill, begging Congress for money. TRANSCRIPT Nov 20, 2008  When the California State Supreme Court ruled that the state's ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional, it legalized such marriages there. TRANSCRIPT Nov 20, 2008  Whatever the fate of Detroit's Big Three car companies, it's a matter of historic fact that car companies come and go: the Stanley Steamer, the Nash, the LaSalle --- "Gee, our old LaSalle ran great..." TRANSCRIPT Nov 18, 2008  Most meteorological events, including the tropical depressions that become hurricanes, happen independent of what we do or don't do. We can track them, try to forecast them and get out of their way when possible TRANSCRIPT Eagle & Chicken A man once found an eagle's egg and put it in the nest of a barnyard hen. The eagle hatched and grew up with the rest of a brood of chicks and though he didn't look at all the same. He scratched the earth for worms and bugs and played the chicken's games. The eagle clucked and cackled, he made a chicken's sound; He thrashed his wings, but only flew some two feet off the ground. That's high as chickens fly, the eagle had been told. The years passed and one day when the eagle was quite old. He saw something magnificent flying very high And making great majestic circles up there in the sky. He'd never seen the likes of it. "What's that?" he asked in awe, While he watched in wonder at the grace and power he saw. "Why that's an eagle," someone said, "He belongs up there, it's clear. Just as we, since we are chickens, belong earthbound down here." The old eagle just accepted that, most everybody does. And he lived and died a chicken, for that's what he thought he was.
