What does one TRILLION dollars look like?

A packet of one hundred $100 bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains $10,000. Fits in your pocket easily and is more than enough for week or two of shamefully decadent fun.

Gen. Ray Odierno, the top U.S. military commander in Iraq, said that continuing the fight against insurgents in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul might lead to U.S. troops remaining in the city past a June 30, 2009 deadline for all U.S. combat troops to leave Iraqi cities.

Social Collapse Best Practices

The mid-1990s all sorts of silly things were happening. Professor Fukuyama told us that history had ended, and so we were building a brave new world where the Chinese made things out of plastic for us, the Indians provided customer support when these Chinese-made things broke, and we paid for it all just by flipping houses, pretending that they were worth a lot of money whereas they are really just useless bits of ticky-tacky.

Debt Relief and Regulation

By Mike Whitney

Confidence is not built on inspiring oratory or personal charisma, but concrete actions to reestablish a rules-based system that penalizes crooks and fraudsters. Recovery isn't possible without a strong commitment to these basic changes.

Anthony Faiola, The Washington Post: "The world is falling into the first global recession since World War II as the crisis that started in the United States engulfs once-booming developing nations, confronting them with massive financial shortfalls that could turn back the clock on poverty reduction by years, the World Bank warned yesterday."

CALLS have been made for a councillor to resign after a phone mast “debacle”.

Dennis Willetts (Con, West Bergholt and Eight Ash Green) said portfolio holder for planning Lyn Barton should resign after the council missed a deadline to reject plans for a mobile phone mast in Lexden Road, Colchester.

Residents and parents at nearby schools campaigned against the O2 mast, which the phone giant planned to put up at the junction of Lexden Road and Norman Way.

John Yoo is sorry for nothing

Salon

Yoo has thrown down a challenge, a legal version of Bush’s ‘bring it on.’ If you chattering antiwar lefties read my memos, he is saying, you will be forced to recant your criticisms. This is a peculiar challenge, considering that Yoo’s memos have been completely discredited. Even the Bush administration’s Office of Legal Counsel eventually repudiated all of Yoo’s opinions (a fact that he somehow omitted in his Journal piece), and the legal community has overwhelmingly rejected his arguments. But to be fair to Yoo, I decided to read not just the newly released memos, but his 2003 torture memo. What I discovered is that Yoo is an even more contemptible hack than I had ever imagined. As a government lawyer, Yoo was the equivalent of one of those doctors who did ‘research’ for Hitler...

John Yoo: UC Berkeley Is a "Magnet for Hippies, Protesters and Left-Wing Activists"

Jason Leopold, Truthout: "John Yoo doesn't have any regrets about the controversial legal opinions he wrote for the White House - many of which were later withdrawn and repudiated - that gave former President George W. Bush unfettered and unchecked power in the aftermath of 9/11. In a little known interview with the Orange County Register, published March 3, Yoo said he doesn't 'think he would have made the basic decisions differently.'"

Nick Turse, TomDispatch.com: "The message is simple. Ever more Americans need food they can't afford. As tough economic times take their toll, increasing numbers of Americans are on tightened budgets and, in some cases, facing outright hunger. As a result, they may be learning a lot more about food banks and soup kitchens than most of them ever wanted to know. In recent interviews with TomDispatch.com, representatives from food banks - the non-profit organizations that distribute groceries to those in need via food pantries, shelters, and soup kitchens - expressed alarm at the recent surge in need all across the country."
