a suspected identity thief in hinton, west virginia, has been charged with inpercent nating a publicublic officer and forging a public document. he has not been charged with poorly impersonating a public official and doing a spectacularly inept job of forging public documents, but he may also be guilty of those. with the help of a man he met online the suspect allegedly sent out letters posing as a law enforcement officer, offering jobs with the state of west virginia. in order to apply for the jobs, people had to hand over their social security number, birth certificates and some fort of i.d. if you're afraid you might have been a victim of this scheme, here's how you can tell your job offer letter is a fake. it does have the signature of the governor of west virginia, joe mansion on it. but it's missing the governor's seal. also, the text of the letter makes the last text message you received from an 8-year-old look like tolstoy. from the letter, it's nice to have you as an employee of west virginia. your super boss matt talk a lot of thangs about you. i hope you stay with us a lon

the affects of that today when our own president, right now, finds that he's accused of indoctrine nateing students when he tells them to stay in school. it has become a culture war and i think it has been very damaging to conservativism and if conservatives will find a way out of it will be a vital part of our policy. >> you talk about how moynihan and buckley came together even though they were on op sid sides sides. one quote i find interesting blindfolded you could find a liberal. who could step up to the plate and lead them to their good point in history and lead them for the u.s. >> that's the crisis right now. we don't see a strong leader in the republican party. when we look at federal governments who are most prominent, they are either defeated politicians like sarah palin who actually walked away from her job as governor of alaska or newt gingrich and john mccain who belong to an earlier era. at this point there is a vacuum no one has filled. just as important is when you mention figures like moynihan and buckley you are talking about intel lectures and the conservative movement

we like to talk about a lot we mentioned with governor rendell of pennsylvania last nate the marcellushale, 9% of the reserves. but more importantly, 40% of its reserve potential. on its conference calls eqt's management has said they can get finding development costs lower than $1 per cubic feet in uron shale. the krofts down in marcellus with average drilling days cut in half from 35 to 17. technologically this is a marveling. well costs are down from 5.5 million a well to 3.3 million. eqt's mostly a production company but it also has a mid-stream meaning pipeline business and a gas marketing business. at the pipeline business eqt is increasing its capacity, its pipeline and gathering system. that's snag could double capacity, double earnings for the whole pipeline segment of the business. when we're looking at these companies one of the things that one of our readers -- our viewers alerted to is we need to factor in hedging. after factoring in hedging in natural gas stocks, who's already sold their natural gas locking in a price? i say that because last week we had a fabulous e-mail

i kind of thought that was fafs nating. primarily when you look what's going on in terms of housing in the mortgage market, housing is not out of trouble. but people that had money, extra money were paying down mortgages. if you don't have money, unfortunately, you're not able to pay off your mortgage and defaults are still high. so you have a little bit of sort of a parataxes there. >> people just want to get that bill done with and don't want any problems with all the news of foreclosures and all that. let me get your take on something we're seeing in the wires here, joe. the fdic is likely to require banks to pre-pay, pre-pay three years of insurance premiums. now, one of the issues here is that we all know that the fdic has been examining and closing down banks, and now they're down to $10 billion in their reserve fund. actually, they are $10 billion -- they actually secure $30 billion for the next 12 months. so post-12 months they've got $10 billion. do they go to treasury for more money, or fdic likely to require bank
