And somehow I ended up with a few readers, so I decided to make it a kind of a news aggregator with links to news stories, opinion pieces and blogs of interest that will be updated daily.

First, why…
Well, when the bill was submitted, it was sold to the [...]

Click Here For The Draft Of The Bailout
The draft Bail Out Law appears to have what was stated in the media – sort of – as its provisions for the troubled assets relief program (“TARP”), and as to its other provisions.
There is a FDIC type insurance program that “may” be developed, where the Secretary [...]

The second part not so much, but I REALLY like the first part.

UPDATE: Looks like they pulled the advert…
Basically, the first 3/4ths of the ad consists of a fake news cast showing that McCain won the election and part of an acceptance speech, etc… then at the end it says “It [...]

I must say that this election season has been the craziest I have ever seen. I feel like I have stepped through the looking glass and what was down is now up.
In the most recent of unexpected twists… I think Bill O’Reilly might be my new hero?

Reverse Auction Design – will it be in the final bill?
With over 100,000 individual designed mortgage-related securities, obligations, and other instruments outstanding, further divided by multiple rated tranches, auctions to price each piece are not workable.

While writing the piece about how the Democrats attempted to earmark the bailout to divert funds to ACORN, it occurred to me that some of my readers might not completely understand who or what ACORN is, how they are related to the Democratic Party, how Obama is intertwined with this group and why the inclusion [...]

Today, John McCain is once again setting aside his Presidential campaign and is ready to delay or cancel the debate he is expected to perform best in, the foreign policy debate, so that he can be at the forefront of the Bailout efforts and make sure that the American people get the best possible solution in [...]

Could Senator Barack Obama’s popularity among black voters hurt gay couples in California who want to marry?
That is the concern of opponents of Proposition 8, a measure on the November ballot that would amend the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage, which was legalized in May by the State Supreme Court.
Mr. Obama, the Democratic presidential [...]
