		<description><![CDATA[So let me get this straight. The President and a bunch o&#8217; pundits said that if we defaulted on the debt ceiling we would have been downgraded, and cried catastophe whenever they got the chance, with Geithner,  Goldman Sachs&#8217; favorite bagman, leading the chorus of Cassandras. Putting aside the fact that the debt ceiling was [...]]]></description>

Let me get this straight, Moody&#8217;s, Fitch&#8217;s, Standard and Poors, etc. Back in 2006-8, you were the guys who gave AAA ratings to toxic mortgage junk because you were paid handsomely to do so by the very institutions that, at the same time, were hawking these time-bombs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The real threat that Google Plus represents for Facebook is not that it&#8217;ll outsize it anytime soon, but that it outclasses it in short order. At a billion minus users, Facebook is the internet equivalent of Shanghai (with its puny real life population of thirty million), a shiny, boosterist, creation which is mostly facade (pardon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m probably digging myself an even deeper hole here, but hear me out. Look at the fluctuations in 10 year bond rates in this chart from Krugman&#8217;s blog, and note that interest rates on those bonds are at historic lows. Remember, Krugs is always banging on about mythological &#8220;bond vigilantes&#8221;.  And you have to wonder, [...]]]></description>

Maybe I&#8217;m just an economically-challenged idiot, but it seems to Thereisnoplan in all his utter naivite, that the &#8220;markets&#8221; have spent most of the last 2 years making out like gangbusters while the rest of us just get by if we&#8217;re lucky. And before they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s official. Thereisnoplan has declared Little Taco-Dog Poops a menace to decent society. The basic problem is simple. Tiny little dark stringy dog poops that nestle in the sidewalk grass. But the real issue goes deeper &#8211; indeed right to the heart of civic responsibility. Were the owners of those obnoxious little Yorkies and Chihuahuas just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s your face. Don&#8217;t let Facebook tell you otherwise. Perhaps it was always about creating a big book of people&#8217;s faces.  But it certainly seems like Facebook&#8217;s latest attempt to control the &#8216;social graph&#8217; of the entire planet is the ultimate emblem of its profoundly amoral, conscience-free, pursuit-of-profit megalomania. The idea that you can post a [...]]]></description>

And after he&#8217;d jabbed us with that, he swung a nasty upper-cut accusing Obama of waging class warfare. Let&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
