All of that corporate greed and lawlessness running amok. Do you think the NY Times is as good at apologizing as the are at, say, exposing the injustices of nail salons?

"There are, it turns out, people in the corporate world who will do whatever it takes, including fraud that kills people, in order to make a buck. And we need effective regulation to police that kind of bad behavior, not least so that ethical businesspeople aren’t at a disadvantage when competing with less scrupulous types. But we knew that, right?"

Let that sink in: "including fraud that kills people." Out in the open. Far-reaching and eager collusion. For what? To save face, but only if it doesn't get in the way of making yet another dollar.

"So what has been happening lately is an attempt to redress that imbalance, to replace knee-jerk opposition to regulation with the judicious use of regulation where there is good reason to believe that businesses might act in destructive ways. Will we see this effort continue?"

I've been asking that same question for two years. I have yet to receive justice. (Oh, I meant an answer. I have yet to receive an answer.) Hope, like triumph over adversity, is a story Hollywood can't get enough of.

But now the days are short, I'm in the autumn of my years

And I think of my life as vintage wine

From fine old kegs

From the brim to the dregs

It poured sweet and clear

It was a very good year

I think she's going to join someone's campaign and that would give her an excuse to quit her job without seeming to give in. She said in an interview that the idea of her campaigning for someone was a "little-farfetched" . It sounded to me like she's dropping a hint.

I think I understood that sentence...Like what, exactly? Do you have any proof, Darkman? I keep hearing about these horrible things Obama has done, but nobody will tell me what they are.
