A great two-parter on what went wrong and what can be done about it (though the tone is resigned to the fact that it's unlikely those things will be done).
This is interesting: Credit Suisse is paying top executives bonuses in the form of bad debt that's gotten us into this mess (rather than just handing them cash).
Here, read this while I pick my jaw up off the floor: "The U.S. government is prepared to provide more than $7.76 trillion on behalf of American taxpayers after guaranteeing $306 billion of Citigroup Inc. debt yesterday. The pledges, amounting to half the value of everything produced in the nation last year, are intended to rescue the financial system after the credit markets seized up 15 months ago."
Well that's just swell: A bunch of banks taking taxpayer money think it's no problem to keep paying millions of dollars to put their names on stadiums.
