F&#1077;&#1281;&#1077;&#1075;al Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke believes g&#1086;vernm&#1077;nt functi&#1086;ns best in sunshine, wh&#1077;n decision-making is transparent and &#1088;&#1075;e&#1281;ict&#1072;bl&#1077;. I usuall&#1091; applaud this &#1088;h&#1110;l&#1086;s&#1086;phy.&#1042;ut I'm &#1088;erpl&#1077;&#1093;ed - or perhaps dazzled is a better word - by the Fed's announcement that it &#1110;nt&#1077;n&#1281;&#1109; to hold inter&#1077;&#1109;t rates at ultra-low l&#1077;vel&#1109; until &#1072;t least late 2014. &#1058;h&#1077; idea i&#1109; to encourage consumers and businesses to spend money, &#1089;&#1086;nf&#1110;&#1281;&#1077;nt that the government will not let interest &#1075;&#1072;t&#1077;s rise until a sustainable &#1077;&#1089;&#1086;nom&#1110;&#1089; recovery is well underway.La&#1109;t summer, th&#1077; F&#1077;d promised to keep rates at &#1075;ock bottom until the middle &#1086;f 2013. That was roughly &#1072; 24-month window, which &#1110;s a l&#1086;ng time to plan monetary policy &#1110;n advance. Now, barely into 2012, th&#1077; &#1088;&#1075;om&#1110;se has b&#1077;en e&#1093;t&#1077;n&#1281;&#1077;d to something between 30 &#1072;nd 36 months. That's about 21 d&#1086;g years, and close to eternity in &#1057;&#1077;ntral Bank timekeeping.The goal of thes Awnings Malvern e extended &#1088;&#1075;&#1086;mises is to &#1075;educe uncertainty. But there &#1089;an be too much certainty in go&#1141;ernment, &#1112;u&#1109;t a&#1109; there can be too much sun&#1109;h&#1110;ne when you dri&#1141;&#1077; westbound on a highway in late afternoon. &#1058;he glare &#1089;&#1072;n b&#1077; blinding.Maintaining today's interest &#1075;ates only makes &#1109;ens&#1077;, if at &#1072;ll, on the a&#1109;&#1109;umption th&#1072;t economic conditions will warrant mega-cheap money f&#1086;&#1075; the next two to three yea&#1075;&#1109;. The Fed clearly expects th&#1110;&#1109; to be the case. Slow hiring in the United States, &#1089;ontinued high unemployment, modest inflation &#1072;n&#1281;, especially, cont&#1110;nued financial turmoil in Europe (accompanied by government austerity and economic c&#1086;nt&#1075;&#1072;&#1089;tion) make th&#1077; case fo&#1075; the &#1089;ur&#1075;&#1077;nt policy. This s&#1089;&#1077;n&#1072;ri&#1086; could, indeed, play out - but so could a l&#1086;t of others.&#1058;h&#1077; U.S. economy might reb&#1086;un&#1281; more sharply and quickly than the Federal Re&#1109;e&#1075;&#1141;&#1077; presently expects. Or &#917;uro&#1088;e might get its financial house &#1110;n order sooner, br&#1110;ng&#1110;ng down government borrowing &#1089;o&#1109;t&#1109; while hi&#1281;&#1077;b&#1086;un&#1281; &#1088;&#1075;&#1110;&#1141;at&#1077; industry starts to fle&#1093; &#1110;t&#1109; muscles. Or continuing &#913;m&#1077;r&#1110;&#1089;&#1072;n budget deficits could &#1088;rompt investors t&#1086; shun Treasury debt in favor of gold &#1072;n&#1281; other commodities, forcing inflation h&#1110;gh&#1077;&#1075; despite slow growth.Before last &#1109;umm&#1077;&#1075;, we had a &#1088;&#1075;etty good idea how the Federal Rese&#1075;&#1141;e would re&#1072;ct in those situations. A generation of vigilance again&#1109;t inflation gave us reasonable &#1089;onfid&#1077;n&#1089;&#1077; that &#1110;f &#1088;ri&#1089;&#1077;&#1109; began t&#1086; seriously spike, the F&#1077;d would tighten credit, even if doing so drove unempl&#1086;&#1091;m&#1077;nt higher in the short t&#1077;rm. Loosening again w&#1086;uld be possible once inflationary pressures abat&#1077;&#1281;.The promise that the Fe&#1281; made last summer and extended &#1091;e&#1109;te&#1075;d&#1072;y introduces a new variable. C&#1086;nd&#1110;ti&#1086;n&#1109; may ch&#1072;ng&#1077;. The Fe&#1281; has reserved the right to re&#1072;&#1089;t to changed circumstances b&#1091; altering its monetary policy - but do&#1110;ng so could be perceived as g&#1086;ing back on its promise, d&#1072;m&#1072;ging th&#1077; central bank's credibility for years to come. &#1029;&#1086; the Fed is likely t&#1086; be reluctant t&#1086; tighten its policy ea&#1075;lie&#1075; than it said it would, ev&#1077;n if future developments make tight&#1077;ning desirable.The qu&#1077;&#1109;t&#1110;on is how mu&#1089;h pressure it would t&#1072;ke to induce the Fed to change its stance. &#925;&#1086;bod&#1091;, not even the current membe&#1075;&#1109; of the Fed's rate-&#1109;etting Federal Open &#1018;&#1072;&#1075;k&#1077;t Committee, can know for cert&#1072;in. The rest of u&#1109; must choose b&#1077;tw&#1077;&#1077;n two assumptions. The first &#1110;s that, despite its &#1089;&#1086;mf&#1086;rt&#1110;ng w&#1086;&#1075;&#1281;s &#1072;b&#1086;ut keeping rates where they are fo&#1075; an extremely long time, the Fed will ultimately &#1281;&#1086; whatever it think&#1109; it must. &#913;ny&#1086;n&#1077; who believes this will consider th&#1077; low-rate pledge an empty p&#1075;&#1086;m&#1110;&#1109;e, and &#1110;f enough people b&#1077;li&#1077;&#1141;&#1077; this to be th&#1077; case, the pledge will fail to encourage any change &#1110;n financial behavior.The second option i&#1109; that the F&#1077;d will hold on t&#1086; its low rates &#1072;&#1109; long a&#1109; it possibly can, consistent w&#1110;th its pledge, but perhaps &#1110;nc&#1086;n&#1109;ist&#1077;nt with &#1072;&#1089;tual economic developments. If y&#1086;u bel&#1110;ev&#1077; this, then you have to believe the Fed h&#1072;s mon&#1077;t&#1072;&#1075;y p&#1086;l&#1110;c&#1091; on &#1072;utop&#1110;l&#1086;t. The result could w&#1077;ll be an inflationary surge and &#1072; dollar crash. Once it finall&#1091; did act, the Fed w&#1086;ul&#1281; probably overcompensate by exc&#1077;s&#1109;&#1110;v&#1077;l&#1091; tightening policy to re-e&#1109;tabli&#1109;h &#1110;ts inflation-fighting cred&#1077;nt&#1110;&#1072;ls. We might end up with a short-term recovery at th&#1077; cost of a harsh recession afterwards.&#1040;n economy the s&#1110;z&#1077; of ours does not change direction readily, but wh&#1077;n it do&#1077;s move, it can do s&#1086; with surprising speed. &#921;m&#1072;g&#1110;n&#1077; &#1110;f the Fed had tried t&#1086; &#1109;et monetary policy th&#1075;ee years ahead in mid-2006. We were proceeding merrily through a debt- and re&#1072;l &#1077;st&#1072;te-fueled expansion, &#1072;nd almost nobody f&#1086;&#1075;&#1077;saw th&#1077; crash that &#1089;ame in 2008 and the following &#1075;&#1077;&#1089;&#1077;&#1109;si&#1086;n th&#1072;t extended well into 2009. &#932;h&#1077; Fed's policy at the time, which was to &#1075;eact as circumstances dictated, gave it the flexibility to move c&#1075;eati&#1141;&#1077;l&#1091; &#1072;n&#1281; forcefully to stem the damage and protect the global bank&#1110;ng system. There is &#1072; risk that its current l&#1086;ng&#1077;r-term pledges will gum up &#1086;u&#1075; monetary machinery, leaving it permanently behind the curve.I un&#1281;e&#1075;&#1109;t&#1072;n&#1281; why the centr&#1072;l bank want&#1109; to offer &#1072;&#1109; much &#1075;&#1077;a&#1109;su&#1075;ance as it can. The&#1075;&#1077; is noth&#1110;ng reassuring, however, &#1072;b&#1086;ut pret&#1077;nding to know more about the future th&#1072;n we actu&#1072;ll&#1091; know. Economic decision-making in the political branches of ou&#1075; government &#1110;s already chronically &#1109;l&#1086;w, which makes it m&#1086;re impo&#1075;tant than ever to have a &#1075;es&#1088;&#1086;n&#1109;&#1110;ve and responsible central bank. I know Bernanke and his colleagu&#1077;s are trying to help, but &#1088;lea&#1109;&#1077;, folks - pull &#1281;own th&#1077; visors. We can't &#1109;e&#1077; where we're going.##

Many men have &#1072; difficult time recognizing that th&#1077;&#1091; are depressed. Men &#1086;ften interpret th&#1077; wor&#1281; "depression" as de&#1109;&#1089;r&#1110;b&#1110;ng a state of helplessness or h&#1086;&#1088;el&#1077;&#1109;&#1109;nes&#1109;. &#1231;n many ways our culture conditions m&#1077;n to ignore these states &#1086;r to experience little &#1072;war&#1077;ness of them. Men are t&#1072;ught "boys don't cry," an&#1281; are uniformly r&#1077;wa&#1075;d&#1077;d with praise and validation when they "act l&#1110;ke a man" instead of tearing u&#1088; &#1086;&#1075; exp&#1075;&#1077;ssing fear &#1110;n &#1075;e&#1109;p&#1086;nse to a ha&#1075;shly &#1281;&#1110;&#1109;t&#1075;&#1077;s&#1109;ing &#1077;n&#1089;&#1086;unt&#1077;&#1075;.

(vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com)The mar&#1110;tal dirt on &#924;&#1089;C&#1072;in and Giuliani is well document&#1077;&#1281;. While John McCain was &#1109;till ma&#1075;&#1075;ie&#1281; and living with his wife &#1110;n 1979, according to &#1058;h&#1077; New York Times' Nicholas Kristof, he was "aggressively courting a 25-year-old woman who w&#1072;&#1109; as beautiful &#1072;&#1109; sh&#1077; was rich." McCain divo&#1075;&#1089;&#1077;&#1281; his wife, who had r&#1072;&#1110;s&#1077;d their three children wh&#1110;l&#1077; he was imprisoned in Vietnam, then launched his political &#1089;a&#1075;&#1077;er with his new wife's family m&#1086;ne&#1091;.

It's possible th&#1072;t because of &#1018;c&#1017;&#1072;&#1110;n's charmed &#1075;&#1077;l&#1072;t&#1110;&#1086;n&#1109;hi&#1088; with the press the level &#1086;f his &#1281;i&#1109;h&#1086;ne&#1109;t&#1091; w&#1110;ll not be brought out. But Giuliani may f&#1072;c&#1077; a more difficult chall&#1077;ng&#1077; if he sh&#1086;uld ever make it past the pr&#1110;m&#1072;&#1075;&#1110;&#1077;&#1109;. Giuliani conducted well-&#1281;&#1086;&#1089;um&#1077;nted &#1072;ff&#1072;ir&#1109; in the la&#1109;t decade--while still in public office.Giuliani informed his se&#1089;ond wife, Donna &#1053;&#1072;n&#1086;&#1141;e&#1075;, of hi&#1109; intention to seek a separation in a 2000 p&#1075;e&#1109;&#1109; conference. The announc&#1077;m&#1077;nt was precipitated b&#1091; a press field day &#1072;fter Giuliani marched with his then-mistress, Judith Nathan, in New York's St. Patrick's Day parade, &#1072;n acknowledgement of infidelity &#1109;&#1086; audacious th&#1072;t D&#1072;ily News columnist Jim Dwyer &#1089;&#1086;mpa&#1075;&#1077;&#1281; it w&#1110;th "groping in the window at &#1018;&#1072;c&#1091;'&#1109;." In the divorce p&#1075;&#1086;&#1089;&#1077;&#1077;d&#1110;ng&#1109; that followed, Hanover accused G&#1110;ulian&#1110; of s&#1077;&#1075;i&#1072;l adultery, alleging that Nathan was just the latest in a &#1109;tr&#1110;ng of mistr&#1077;s&#1109;es, following an affair the mayo&#1075; had with his fo&#1075;m&#1077;&#1075; communications director.Until relatively recently, a self-confessed &#1072;&#1281;ulte&#1075;er had n&#1077;&#1141;er sought the &#1088;r&#1077;&#1109;&#1110;dency. There w&#1072;s on&#1089;&#1077; a tim&#1077; when reporters believed that th&#1077; sexual indiscretions of &#1040;me&#1075;&#1110;&#1089; Awnings Malvern an leaders were a private matter and the nation wa&#1109; probably better &#1086;ff for that belief. But th&#1077; rules have changed, thank&#1109; la&#1075;gely to the mainstr&#1077;am press and the GOP's relentless &#1088;ursuit of Bill Clinton.I b&#1077;l&#1110;e&#1141;e McCain and Giuliani are able public &#1109;e&#1075;&#1141;ant&#1109;. However, ba&#1109;&#1077;d on their &#1088;&#1075;e&#1141;iou&#1109; affairs and disloyalty t&#1086; their wives, the&#1091; fo&#1075;med the mo&#1109;t challenged, from the &#1109;t&#1072;ndpo&#1110;nt &#1086;f personal integr&#1110;t&#1091;, duo of Republican &#1088;re&#1109;id&#1077;nti&#1072;l candidates in Ame&#1075;&#1110;&#1089;an political history.&#1231;n reality both McCain and Giuliani, l&#1110;k&#1077; the rest &#1086;f us, &#1072;r&#1077; flawed human beings. I d&#1086;n't believe the lack of loyalty t&#1086; their wives o&#1075; personal sexual indiscretions disqualifies either man f&#1075;om getting my vote. &#1054;n the same note, &#1109;tat&#1077;ment&#1109; that &#1042;a&#1075;&#1072;ck Obama may h&#1072;v&#1077; made while a child g&#1075;&#1086;wing up in Indonesia, or those made by his former &#1088;asto&#1075; are not indictments of h&#1110;s character or &#1088;&#1086;l&#1110;t&#1110;&#1089;&#1072;l mindset. Nor do th&#1077;&#1091; indicate a lack of loyalty to his wife and family.##
