I posted this in the AIG link but I think it deserves its own thread and its own discussion. This is the best article I have read about the mess that is going on with our economy and Wall Street...

It was obviously written from a very one sided opinion, but I agree that it described what happened better than any other article I have read. The colorful desriptions and blue humor made it more fun to read then most articles about the same subjects.

Are you saying that as a partisan article? It took shots at Republicans and Dems so how is it one sided? If there is a bias there I think it would be on the liberal side because they beat up on Bush way more than they did the liberals...

Bias from the point that the bailout was/is a bad thing. The author in my opinion was angry over the way the goverment (liberal or conservative) has handled the situtation and wrote a great blog entry and not an article for the Wall Street Journal. Just my $0.02

It is hard to believe anything you hear because it always ends up as a republican vs democrat debate. Overall though was he accurate in most of his reasoning?
