      Henry Paulson Begins to Trash His Own Reputation
      re: This is disappointing. I was assured that Paulson wouldn't fall into this trap, and was better than this. -- If Paulson really was better than this he would not have joined the Bush administration. Remember that disagreement with Bush is considered disloyalty. No ideological divergence is allowed!

      Hank Paulson's Cognitive Dissonance
      I think its important to understand that any divergence from the ideological point of view of this administration is considered disloyalty. Therefore it is unreasonable to expect anything different from anyone who is currently part of the team. The financial ideology of the Bush administration is well known and while no one could guess the details of Paulson's plan beforehand, the overall thrust of his plan was 100% predictable.

      Amend Jingle Mail Laws
      If this idea were part of a broader more comprehensive view that was inclusive of BOTH sides of the transaction then it might be a good idea. That it was presented singly however makes me suspect. "Free market" hypocrites and their sense of entitlement to greed are rampant. How about some balancing "quid pro quo" to this idea of yours Mr. MacDonald? Take for example the ballot measure in Colorado that will make corporation executives criminally liable for laws that the corporation they manage break. You can take every major mortgage company that wrote all these loans and find enough to prosecute management in every single of one them, guaranteed, if such laws were enacted. Don't you think that would help solve the problem?

      Don't Regulate, Rationalize
      "...we do want an informationally efficient, market-based financial system." Well you do and I do but "they" do not want any such thing. My post from another site-
      All of this fancy talk is just that. The only real question is will greed be subject to regulation or not. I think not. "Privatize gains, socialize losses" pretty much sums up the mantra going on in the minds of the current administration. If you just have a gaggle of talking heads on TV selling it, put a fancy enough wrapper on it or have a big enough smokescreen you just might be able to sell it to the public. Make sure that the financial sector lobbyists line the pockets of congress and voila! Financial problem? What Problem? Everything is just fine, business is handled. No there is no real science here. The real objective is keeping the pigs at the trough. You can call it by different names and have different vehicles for delivery but that doesn't change what is going on.

      Microsoft Succeeds in Making Vista Even Worse
      The Company I owned and ran for 10 years was an authorized Intel dealer and an authorized Microsoft OEM. Remember when the Microsoft WGA (Windows Geniune Advantage) program first came out? Well Microsoft loaded software that didn't even approach beta (!) onto millions of computers with appalling results. One of my own techs documented Microsoft via its WGA software downloading information off of a company computer for up to 8 hours a day, 3 days in a row. The ensuing dialog I had with Microsoft convinced me that I would never do business with Microsoft again.

      Let's Get Real About Bear Stearns
      Bah! The executives at Bear Stearns are rewarded for their dishonesty and recklessness by getting to keep all their earnings and bonuses instead of having to hire defense attorneys as they should have. This article is typical one sided BS that conveniently omits facts in order to bolster it's argument. The real point of this article is that the law should not apply to Wall St. executives and that they are supposed to be free of responsibility for their actions.
