As an aside, Chase Bank traces it's origins, in part, back to the Manhattan Company of 1799. This was started by Aaron Burr (later Jefferson's VP) as a water company with the secret intention all along to be a bank that could compete against the Bank of N … (see comment)

Economist: Why Bankruptcy is Better than Wall Street Bailout

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 09/30/2008
There are two types of economists: Those who know that they don't really know what they're talking about, and those who just don't know what they're talking about. This guy is the latter. (see comment)

Palin noticeably missing from the post-dabate news coverage

Comment in News (0 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/27/2008
Your point would've been far more effective had you left the "pathetic human being" barb out. It undermines the rest of your (good) question and reasoning by becoming an ad homenim. edit: the 40% or so who think she's terrific see themselves, their fami … (see comment)

BREAKING: Goldman, Morgan Switch To Bank-Holding Firms

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 09/22/2008
This is good only from the standpoint that it allows them both to buy-up other banks and assets, like you said. It is not fair, however. The Treasury Dept has picked the winners in this mess. "It is, was it is"...It is far from ideal. (see comment)

Comment in News (73 diggs, 3 replies) - on 09/21/2008
GM and Ford are already taking advantage and working overtime with lobbyists to get a nice sweet $25-50 Billion loan out of the government for all their troubles. The bad news: Both McCain and Obama support it to some degree or another. :( (see comment)

It blows me away that there is so much praise and adulation on digg for this, but yet any photos of a Christian or Jewish holiday/season would be buried out-of-hand and mocked. (see comment)

Comment in News (3 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/19/2008
I'm convinced that whether it be Obama -or- McCain come 2009...Ahmadinejad is not going to survive long politically or otherwise if he keeps flapping his trap. (see comment)

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 09/19/2008
Agreed. The Lehman bankruptcy is a much bigger deal than many realize. I was astonished to learn that the Fed instructed JP Morgan to lend them $138 Billion dollars in two installments *after* the firm already filled for Chap 11- just to unwind trades and … (see comment)

'Eyewitness accounts' can false and/or part of a propaganda campaign also. There were reports of over 2000 South Ossetian causalities by Russia, that Human Rights Watch quickly debunked, reporting less than 50 verified casualties (see comment)

Former oil exec: Gas rationing needed

Comment in News (3 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/16/2008
It's funny how the price of oil is falling like a rock at the same time, while actual US supplies are evidently tightening. Perhaps some folks on Wall Street are taking some profits and dumping their "paper barrels" to shore-up their capital base, eh? Nah … (see comment)

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 09/12/2008
FWIW, I'm not in the habit of linking to, let alone agreeing with William Kristol, but what the hell... This Post piece is so obviously partisan, that it's entirely appropriate at this point. She was NOT making some kind of foreign policy speech or policy … (see comment)
