| The Clinton Convention Conundrum | | 2008-08-14 21:49:00 | | Like a festering wound, Hillary Clinton continues to make news that complicates Barack Obama's convention plans. After a few weeks of wrangling and negotiating, Clinton and Obama finally reached a deal that would allow Clinton's name to be placed into nomination at the convention to ensure that "all 35 million people who participated in this historic primary election are respected and heard."The significance of this deal is that it should provide Clinton's supporters an opportunity to reach a sense of closure. Hearing delegates proudly proclaim their support for Hillary Clinton at the convention in front of millions of viewers would indeed be a historical moment that would demonstrate an act of good faith on behalf of Obama and a forging of unity on the Democrats' highest stage.Obama's hand was clearly forced by Clinton, as he most certainly wants the Clinton saga to be put to rest. So he accommodated Clinton to help the party move on. The sooner he brings the Obama vs. Clinton sto | | By: The 7-10 | | |
| | Vietnam’s $31.6 billion FDI conundrum | | 2008-07-25 06:09:00 | | An impressive US$31.6 billion was registered for foreign direct investment in Viet Nam during the first six months of the year. The figure shows the confidence foreign investors have in the country. But it also creates this headache for the Government: How can the money be thoroughly digested against the prevailing high inflation and trade deficit?

| | The Hamels/Howard Conundrum, When to Sign Them? | | 2008-05-19 15:49:17 | |
The Phillies might talk long-term deal with Hamels down the road. But, the Phillies general manager said, "right now, it isn't going to happen." Gillick said he is wary of giving out long-term deals, particularly one like the Brewers gave Braun. "If at some point, if [Hamels is] performing to the level, you're going to have to talk multiyear at some point," Gillick said. "These guys, maybe they are smarter giving guys 8-year deals. I don't know."

| | The Obama Conundrum, Oprah, Jeremiah, & His Critics | | 2008-03-18 00:54:00 | | WHAT’S A BLOGGER TO DO?Do you want me to say I’m not having fun yet? Boy am I having fun with all of this. There’s nothing better than seeing a smarmy little punk fall. Unfortunately, as is often the case with so many false prophets and messiahs, Barack Obama is falling. I find it rather ironic that this false messiah is biting the dust during Holy Week. It is almost as though The Almighty is telling us Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me.

| | Playing the Rate Cut Conundrum | | 2007-09-17 19:31:55 | | With all the fear that exists in the markets today, it seems all the world is waiting on what Mr. Bernanke decides to do with the Fed Fund Rates on Tuesday.
Here are the possible outcomes:
1) No rate cut
2) 25 bps rate cut
3) 50 bps rate cut

| | Quarterback Conundrum: When to Draft a QB | | 2007-07-29 16:23:35 | | One of the most debated topics in fantasy football circles involves the drafting of quarterbacks. Everyone seems to have a differing opinion on this matter. Most hold fast to their philosophy, standing firm year after year. Others, although a group fewer in number, are more flexible, basing their opinion on that particular season's crop of quarterbacks. They, too, will have a game plan going into the draft and in nearly all cases will see it through to the end.What exactly are the schools of thought that these owners adhere to? Well, there are basically three:Grab a stud QB early, perhaps in rounds 1 or 2, but definitely by round 3. These owners will end up with players like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Carson Palmer, and Marc Bulger. Get some stud RBs and WRs first and then draft a QB in rounds 4, 5 or 6. Donovan McNabb, Matt Hassleback, Vince Young, and Jon Kitna will start for owners that choose this approach.Never draft a QB before round 7. These owners are content to st | | By: This Just In | | |
| | Clinton's Obama Conundrum | | 2007-07-25 10:02:57 | | Democratic Front-Runners Tangle After Monday Night's Debate Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., said today that Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, her chief rival for the Democratic nomination, made comments that were "irresponsible and frankly naive" when he said in Monday night's debate that he would meet with leaders of rogue nations during his first year in office. Clinton's response, made in an interview with an Iowa newspaper, marks the sharpest exchange to date between the top two Democratic candidates for president and the first time Clinton has explicitly attacked another Democratic candidate. It represents an elevation in a simmering dispute between the two camps, and a continuation of a specific argument at Monday's debate. The question that sparked the controversy at Monday's debate seemed simple enough: Would the candidates for president be willing to meet, within their first year in office, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea? Obama said yes, while Cl | | By: Dyre Portents | | |
| | The Blake Beavan Conundrum; Teixeira Digs Deeper Hole | | 2007-07-12 08:41:18 | | Ah yes, the slowest sports day of the year. At least there’s plenty of Rangers news out there.
Evan Grant’s latest edition of the DMN Rangers newsletter came out last night, with the usual load of excellent information. Grant believes that the Rangers may hold on to both Eric Gagne and Aki Otsuka, with aspirations of resigning Gagne after season’s end.
The idea of bringing Gagne back both excites and worries me; he’s one of the best relievers in baseball when healthy, but his lengthy injury history, combined with the fact he’ll almost certainly demand a multi-year commitment at around $10 million per year, scares the heck out of me. Regardless of where he ends up signing, Gagne is the very definition of a major high risk/high reward player. Nightmare scenario for Texas? They resign him at 3 years, $30 million, then he pulls a Jeff Zimmerman.
Grant also touches on the Otsuka for Tony Gwynn Jr. trade rumor, which I covered extensively earlier this week. Evan | | By: Baseball Time in Arlington | | |
| | Countdown Conundrum | | 2007-03-05 04:30:00 | | I'm faced with a conundrum. The response to the appeal to name our impending EP release has been nothing short of huge and the quality of entry ranges from the sublime to ridiculous. I am also pleased to announce that to date we have only received 1 suggestion that contains a swearword although several of you have implied a certain degree of filth within your entry. The competition deadline is Friday 16th March and we'll be announcing the winner on stage at The Dublin Castle that very night. If you haven't yet entered but want to try your luck you email your entry right here...oh, someone new's just entered as I type - see the entry in the comments section of this video.The conundrum is that I must somehow answer your requests for lyrics whilst not revealing the track listing, which I'm definitely NOT allowed to do. What then follows is a selection of lyrics from our current catalogue plus a little one liner to describe what the song is about. Some of these are songs that will make EP2 and some are red herrings, hope it helps!BUTTERFINGERS...'it's about your old friends, those you met during your salad days and who you thought you'll always be as close to as you were back then - see also girls you nearly let slip!'The last film I saw was a mistakeIt got me thinking ‘bout your autumn morning faceOn which my kisses often layAnd where they long to be againThe last thing I heard was our old songI tried to play it to another when you’d goneMarks out of two, I’d give her oneMarked out of ten she’s not so strongFever Days and red sunsetsHanding out the silhouettes Warm white wine, cigarettesRunning jumps and pirouettes.Butter fingers, a troubled mindThese are all the things I leave behind. I couldn’t paint your dewy eyes.I don’t think Monet or Picasso would’ve triedAnd no poet could describeThe rivers running from your eyes.Fever Days and red sunsetsHanding out the silhouettes Warm white wine, cigarettesRunning jumps and pirouettes.Butter finge | | By: The MüVs Official Blog | | |
