Pete Austin

1st interview with Joe Jackson, since MJ's passing, on Nightline tonight. Should be interesting.

Good "enchanted" answer by the President. Always good to be grateful for the men and women serving our fine country.

Tapper with the toughest question of the night so far re-torture. Obama handles it deftly by, oh, not answering it directly.

Buyer beware when buying a home on a golf course. Who owns and controls the course? What is their financial situation? Don't get burned.

If you gave the Queen of England an I-pod - what artist would you load on there? An artisit you like or an artist you think she would like?

Decent job by the President tonight. Decent job by the WH press corps, too. Looking forward to Geroge S on NIghtline breaking it all down.

It is much harder to hate those who respect you. Obama's respect for other cultures may be just what the foreign policy doc ordered.

Why are we so focused, as taxpayers, on $165 million in bonuses when the fed just "pumped" a trillion dollars into the markets? A trillion!

The Offspring's "You gonna go far, kid," is a very catchy tune. The last decade hasn't really slowed them down.

The dow rallies nearly 10% in three days...a corner turned or foolish optimism?

Can the Treasury fill vital posts with the current vetting process in place. Would you subject yourself to that kind of scrutiny to serve?

Sit near the exit...advice to live by.

Taepodong? Could there be a better name for a mysterious North Korean missile that might have the range to hit Hawaii?

Sad but true for a Friday - Roubini wrote, "we need more binding rules on liquidity, capital, leverage, transparency, compensation..." Yup.

Is the end of the Swiss bank account upon us? If UBS names names, I hope NTL will be on the case.

NTL is doing a very interesting story on gas prices tonight and why they can still be high when the price of oil per barrel is still down.

Should all members of congress fly commercial...even when on offical government business? Even when it presents a security challenge?
