From today's
Daily Reckoning:
Finally, thanks to the worldwide financial meltdown that the U.S. central bank helped bring about, the politicians can take control of America's most important industries. The dreams of central planners, meddlers, world-improvers, collectivists, Bolsheviks, corporatists and fascists are all being realized - right in the United States of America. All industries need money. And the U.S. Treasury department has it. And what it doesn't have, the Fed will supply.
From
Saturday's Valleywag:
Incompetence and infighting are endemic to nonprofits, of course. But Wikipedia's bureaucracy is distinctly, fearsomely awful. The site, which dictates the online reputation of countless living people and companies, itself operates by rules that are completely incomprehensible, determined by a self-appointed group of volunteer editors who can seldom stop arguing over obscurities to explain their ways to outsiders.
And some sure signs of recession: counterfeit
Bentleys and
Rollers on eBay.
