The banks can continue to deceive shareholders and investors just like
before, and anyone who opposes them, like ex-FASB Chairman Robert
Herz, will get the boot. This is a system that no longer has the capacity
for course-correction, which is why another crisis cannot be far off. Continue
By Robert Kuttner Where is the leadership connecting the dots... between the financial
meltdown, the record profits and bonuses on Wall Street, the
continuing collapse of home equity, the joblessness, and the assault

ew Rule: With the Super Bowl only a week away, Americans must realize what makes NFL football so great: socialism. That's right, for all the F-15 flyovers and flag waving, football is our most successful sport because the NFL takes money from the rich teams and gives it to the poor teams ... just like President Obama wants to do with his secret army of ACORN volunteers. Green Bay, Wisconsin has a population of 100,000.

"It boggles the mind that $150 billion is vaporized…there haven’t been any arrests, any indictments, nor any convictions at any major bank or at any of the government-owned financial institutions Fannie, Freddie and AIG.” Continue
If you're an IT buff, you'll like this video about how SD cards are manufactured. And it's amazing to realize how difficult it is to produce SD cards, but even so, they're quite inexpensive compared to just a few short years ago, whereupon such SD cards cost an arm and a leg.
Though George has met his maker...or whatever: even God would laugh at his fine creation, Mr. George Carlin. I doubt if there will ever be another just like him. We were lucky to have him in our midst for all these years. Thanks, George, for the good times. I'm sure God is laughing his (or her) ass off at this very moment.
