AIG CDS: The Unwinding Begins

PainfullyAware: Complexity Favors The Sinister.

Stolen, thank you. Been seeking the words to describe
the unfathomably complex acronym epidemic. And thanks to ZeroHedge for the disinfecting sunlight where cockroaches scuttle.

PS: re: GS/Blankfein and his contriteness speech to institutional investors the other, contrite being to Blankfein what work is to Maynard G. Krebs.

Taking Issue with David Dreman

Charts of 'Dreman' open and closed end funds.
Each of the fund managers badly needs replacement
by a dart tossing primate, trust me I know.

Six Steps to Hell: Our Descent into Today's Daunting Economic Inferno

Most excellent, thank you. The skeletons in the closet are stacked to the ceiling in every room, on every level, both ends the Mall and spilling from the judiciary.
What dirty laundry can't be whitewashed has already been swept under the very lumpy rug, joining the previous debacles (i.e. S&Ls) of synonmous culpabilities. The failure of the role
of the Fourth Estate, the press, to tell this story in a sustained way that all can understand guarantees
that this is just another chapter. From a mass grave of skeletons stretching from DC to California the press can't seem to find a bone to pick from any of it. One arrives at some place beyond caring joining
everyone else, knowing or not. Thus consensus granting mandate, a trusted confidence in ignorance and amnesia.
