Have you noticed how the GOP has stopped complaining about ACORN since the owner of a company hired by the GOP to do voter registration was arrested for registration fraud? The same company has been “slamming” — a term that was invented to describe phone companies switching long distance carriers without the permission of customers, […]
This is one of those “hell freezes over” moments that I never thought would happen. Former Chairman of the Fed from 1987 to 2006 Alan Greenspan is testifying before Congress, and has admitted that he was “partially” wrong to oppose regulation of derivatives. But he still blamed the financial meltdown on a “once-in-a-century credit tsunami”. […]
Colin Powell “Colin Powell is in the news because he endorsed Barack Obama. I wonder how John McCain feels about Colin Powell endorsing Obama. He’s probably all right with it. Men his age are used to having colon problems.” -Craig Ferguson “The only reason Obama got this endorsement is because Colin Powell is black. Also, […]

Can Hizbollah And Al-Qaeda Be Far Behind?” Step 2 […]
The political parties are required to file financial disclosure reports with the FEC (you can look at them yourself). Politico dug around and discovered that the Republicans spent more than $150,000 on clothes and accessories for Sarah Palin in the month since she was picked to be McCain’s VP nominee.

Robert Reich (blogger, former Secretary of Labor, current UC Berkeley professor, and author of the book Supercapitalism) has a must-read blog entry today, pointing out that if these companies the government is bailing out are “too big to fail” then maybe they are just too big, period.
