Let’s check in with the Wonkette Business Desk for our morning economic roundup. U.S. pending home sales are at their highest point this year! U.S. manufacturing orders are at a two-year high! A terrorist plot against New York — the financial capital of the world — totally failed and the suspected/attempted car-bomber was caught by [...]
Were you all bummed out because the Goldman Sachs investigation was just this wimpy little civil suit from a bunch of bureaucrat nobodies at the SEC, whose only enforcement power is imposing tiny fines on impossibly rich people? Fear not! Now federal prosecutors are sniffing around this slimy cadre of villains. Soon there will be [...]
FOR GOD’S SAKE DON’T LET THE BRITS NEAR LIVE MICS: “[Prime Minister Gordon] Brown’s campaign team even overhauled their election strategy this week — betting that more contact between the leader and ordinary people would revive his flagging election hopes … After talking with grandmother Gillian Duffy in the northern town of Rochdale, Brown was [...]
It’s almost election time on Merry Olde Knifecrime Island. What’s going on over there, anyway? Nobody knows!
