I haven’t had much time to follow this, but is seems like it’s all about trying to save the banks from the consequences of their mistakes. Another worry is that Britain’s banks and hedge funds have written multibillion-pound insurance contracts … Continue reading →

Clarance Thomas may be in some hot water.. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, it is probably pretty hard to get rid of a sitting supreme court justice, but if Democrats are looking for an issue … Continue reading →
