Watch this news and tell me if you have any faith in the traditional news channels. By faith, I mean, if you trust them to provide any breaking investigative news that is useful for people. Hey Brian – I love your sense of humor. I know you don’t like blog culture. Why would you? I […]
A complicated story is better understood with a rightly constructed analogy. Goldman’s selling CDOs and shorting them at the same time might be too complicated for some. If you are one of them, just follow these two great analogies. Mystery solved! First Dylan Ratigan’s car manufacturer analogy: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and […]
President Clinton chimed in about his administration’s failure to regulate derivatives and restrain Wall Street’s reckless behavior. In that video bit, he essentially said, “It is not my fault.

I was excited to hear this news this morning. However, I am not fully convinced that even a tiny fraction of their fraud is brought to light. This is a bit late, but a decent start. However, I don’t think this doesn’t make any dent in GS. Furthermore, Obama admin may be playing politics here. […]
Today’s discussion about free markets on MMGL reminded me of this very funny sketch as a part of a British show, A Bit of Fry and Laurie. This show was done by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie (of the House fame in US). Both also featured as lead actors in the TV adaptation of P.G. […]

Naxlism is a burning issue for ever and here is the right argument from JP. Its so impressive and you should look at the other people listening to his argument. I was just in a trans for 5 mins watching this video and thought of sharing with you.
