Most people take it for granted that there is a lot of information on Wall Street that spreads via a grapevine of contacts. A broad investigation has ended in resignations of some high profile persons with charges pending. I don't know if it's even possible to clean up the sewer of Wall Street. Here is the latest.

Now why on earth would anyone listen to auto execs in matters of finance or management?

Not to mention this implies some serious government intervention into the marketplace and looks to me to be a tax which will be directly handed over to auto manufacturers and most assuredly to big oil as well. It's not like corporations haven't shafted American citizens enough. They keep coming back for seconds and thirds and ... who knows.

This would spur the use of mass transit which is already straining because people are  increasingly changing to mass transit for their work commute. If this happens I can envision a real train wreck. It would take some heavy investment in mass transit to accommodate all those who would have no choice except to use mass transit.

Read about this insanity here. 

This is an odd twist of fate. For justice be be served for infractions committed by officials or agents of the U.S. Government it seems as though that justice is obtainable in a foreign court of our allies. Now all we gotta do is see if we can get the Italian authorities to take on the case of Bush vs the world for lying the U.S. and their allies into a war under a false premise. If they gave these agents up to eight years for an illegal rendition they ought to be able to give Bush and Cheney what they deserve.

The FTC is investigating etc.

I wonder if we could get the FTC to investigate congress for fraudulent marketing activities by trading on the trust of Americans and for running a bait and switch scheme with the healthcare legislation. There must be AT LEAST ONE federal agency looking out for Americans.

Apple has a new iMac 27 inch screen system that is quite snazzy. However there seems to be a problem with the video. It is causing some grief for users of Snow Leopard. Quite amazingly, loading boot camp and Windows 7 the problems aren't present. This is absolutely funny.

I'm sure the Apple fan boys are apoplectic over this one.
