Behind the scenes of the financial meltdown

A great, and lengthy, article on the story behind the US financial bailout: Anatomy of a Meltdown The most striking part, for me, is the idea that the financial system is so large and complex that nobody understands all of it.  This isn't really news but it's dramatic to see the ...

Consumer Extremism

Absolutely disgusting: Wal-Mart worker dies after crowd rushes store.  Doesn't this seem to happen every year now? Whether from cameras, or credit card records, every single person who rushed that store should be charged with something along the lines of criminal indifference and any person who touched that slain worker should ...

Why can’t we all just get along?

Via MaderBlog here's a nice comment from Dave Barry: You know what I miss? I miss 1960. Not the part about my face turning overnight into the world’s most productive zit farm. What I miss is the way the grown-ups acted about the Kennedy-Nixon race. Like the McCain-Obama race, that was ...

Resist the bailout urge!

Notwithstanding the fact that he's a giant douchebag, Mitt Romney is correct here: Let Detroit Go Bankrupt I know it's going to be extremely difficult for governments to resist the urge to bail them out, but they should.

Do not bail out the auto companies

Canada and the US are talking about bailing out the North American auto companies: PM hints at auto bailout This strikes me as wrong for several reasons: Why should governments be bailing out companies that don't have a sustainable business model?  They're losing money for many reasons including a cyclical market and ...

The election that seemed like it would never end is finally over. For the first time in a long time (ever?) I can say I'm excited for my friends, colleagues and neighbours to the south.  Who knows what the next 4 years with President Obama will bring, but at a minimum ...

Will it really be over soon?

Gearing up for a long night of election results watching. This time will be interesting since we don't have cable TV, so we'll be using web-based tools and looking for live web video broadcasts. If you know of any let me know. This looks like a good tool: http://scoreboard.dailykos.com/map/. I'm ...

Bringing maturity to the presidency

Great article, and accompanying video commentary, on a recent interview with Obama. Whether it's a puff-piece, I don't know, but even if there's a small amount of truth to the stories about Obama's willingness to actually think about and debate policies the world is going to be much better off.  Contrast ...

An odd change of policy: supporting Bush to clean energy

I was reading this article, No cavalry coming for McCain, which was otherwise uninteresting although good news. Then I ran into this part that was so odd it caught me: "One of those oil guys was T. Boone Pickens. But Pickens, who played a major role in funding the Swift ...
