I'm too irate at the moment to give you my normal Econ 101 take on the world, but I am going to paste two quotes from a Reuters article so we can be incensed together. First, this gem.
A $700 billion fund would come on top of other steps already taken ...

Achilles’ Heel and Those Damn Chickens
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008
Yesterday was wait and see time. For the jocks of the financial world, it's fourth and one with less than a minute to go. AIG is the Patriots, and unlike in the NFL, cheaters might not prosper.
I think it might be helpful to understand what is actually happening with AIG. ...

The Road Previously Traveled

I've refrained from writing about Palin. Frankly, she's a herring, well played to distract from the complete lack of substance offered by the McCain campaign. I don't see that adding to the noise about her serves the nation, whose citizens are justifiably alarmed by the faltering American economy, the exorbitant ...

Only 36 of the 2,380 delegates seated on the (Republican) convention floor are black, the lowest number since the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies began tracking diversity at political conventions 40 years ago. -- Wapo
.01512605042%!!! Republicans call McCain/Palin the ticket of change. Interesting direction.

Primary Focus
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
Today was the culmination of the first leg of a long journey for me. As I walked into the tiny town hall that serves as my precinct location, twins in tow, I got my ballot with a happy heart. Just a little over a year ago I threw my lot ...

Maybe I'm just feeling a mite testy, could be that staring over the edge of financial upheaval has got me cynical, but frankly, the Clintons "me, me, Me, Me, ME!!!" has just got to stop.
Does it always - ALWAYS - have to be about the Clintons?
This is the question on ...

Yesterday I was at Mass, and the Homily was about racism. Father Robert talked about how when Kennedy was running for president, the prevailing meme was that he'd doom the nation to Papacy, and once elected would follow the Pope's edict and make America a Catholic nation. Sounds ludicrous now, ...

This ranks right up there with ‘teh stupid'.
When a weary and jet-lagged Barack Obama took the stage on the last day of the UNITY Journalists of Color convention in Chicago last month, most of the attendees had already left. But there was still a healthy crowd of over 2,500 there ...

Isn't the problem -- well, one of the many, many problems -- with our awful president the fact that he never changes his mind about anything no matter how strong the evidence? Isn't one of the problems with the new John McCain the fact that he keeps changing his mind ...
