June 13 2009: The Future Loot
Harris & Ewing Wind tunnel tested?! 1938 Streamlined street car passing Washington Monument Ilargi: The G8 finance ministers apparently are doing a great job of deluding each other and the media surrounding them. They are talking, believe it or not, about what to do when the good times come back. All that's needed, no really, says Tim Geithner, is for everyone to focus on growth. Once they do that, everything else will take care of itself. And perhaps it's better this way. [more...]

May 14 2009: Them's Fighting Words
Samuel H. Gottscho May the good lord shine a light on you December 15, 1931 River House, 52nd Street and East River. Parapet, 27th floor, New York Ilargi: As reported exhaustively, GM, in its present state, has only weeks left to live. So does California. The state, successfully terminated by the Terminator (though it'd be unfair to blame it all on his incompetent head), has brainstormed its way into two new bound-to-fail solutions for all its different -but still the same- conundrums.

September 11 2009: Through the prism of fraud and poverty
Timothy H. O'Sullivan He sleeps where he fell May 1864 Spotsylvania Court House, Virginia. Dead Confederate soldier near Mrs. Alsop's house. Grant's Wilderness Campaign, May-June 1864 Ilargi: I’ll try to take a slightly different approach today, while remembering the dead, and let someone else do the talking for a change. Yesterday, I picked up the article below, written by an investment adviser named J. S. Kim, who puts his finger right where it hurts most. [more...]

May 20 2009: Home is where the hurt is
Jack Delano Hey, did you happen to see.... the most beautiful girl in the world July 1940 Near Shawboro, North Carolina. Florida migrants on their way to Cranberry, New Jersey Ilargi: Let's look a bit more at the housing construction quagus mirus completus, since it's such a good way to counter all the 'green shoots shining through the trees' mumbo-jumbo. Monday, just two days ago, the National Association of Home Builders caused a happy stir worth 2.85% jump in the Dow. [more...]

June 18 2009: Over the edge
John Vachon Earth Colony November 1942 Storage tanks, Phillips gasoline plant, Borger, Texas. Ilargi: Tons of stories today, of course, on the reform plans presented and defended by Obama and Geithner. A few critical ones make some sense, at least. Still, I keep thinking they all miss the point. Which is that you very simply can't have bankers decide how reform themselves, even if they're on a brief sojourn in government. [more...]

May 21 2009: The pig on its way through the python
John Vachon Cherries of Wrath July 1940 Migrant fruit workers from Arkansas, Berrien County, Michigan Ilargi: Britain is the first major industrial nation under the threat of an across the board downgrade of its credit rating, with Japan hot on its heels and the US not far behind. While these are truly serious developments, and things look deeply alarming for Britain, there’ll still be a lot of water under the bridge before the whips and chips come down. [more...]

Where has the Bailout Money Gone? Good Billions After Bad
Where has the Bailout Money Gone? Good Billions After Bad Vanity Fair by Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele As the Bush administration waned, the Treasury shoveled more than a quarter of a trillion dollars in tarp funds into the financial system—without restrictions, accountability, or even common sense.

Esther Bubley Where’s the candy? July 1943 Spectators at the parade to recruit civilian defense volunteers, Washington, D.C. Ilargi: I don’t want to listen to those speeches anymore, I don’t want to hear Geithner say that it's "unfortunate" (as in: but necessary) that the man in the street has to pay for banks' losses. Most of all I don't want to hear Obama state that the salaries of bank executives should not be regulated because those of NFL players are not. [more...]

I’ve has this Dilbert cartoon sitting on my desktop for days now, and never got around to posting it. I'll put it at the bottom right here. More fun today: "Japanese housewives bet $125 billion that the Yen will crash . And AIG CEO Ed Liddy who tells Congress that AIG will pay back the, what is it, $180 billion by now?, in 3 to 5 years.

Birth of the 'Culture Wars' - Lee Iacocca, Joe Bageant and George Carlin
I Was There at the Birth Stephen Pizzo - News for Real I was there when it began, the ugliness, the ever-so thinly-veiled racism, the attacks on the press. It was August, 1992. The place, the Houston Astrodome. The occasion, the Republican nominating convention. First some spacial data; the press gallery inside the enormous dome was to the right of the podium, about 15 feet above the convention floor.
