Selected stories from around the web this morning.
Video - Romney battles citizens of Iowa - Aug. 11, 2011
This is highly entertaining.
Video - Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne - Aug. 11, 2011

Video: Dwight D. Eisenhower's farewell address - Jan. 17, 1961
The ominous rise of the military industrial complex. Two more inside.
Maurice Johnson lives in Boston, by way of Cleveland. He has a Masters Degree in Plasma Physics from Dartmouth College, and a Masters in Electrical Engineering and Acoustics from Purdue University. He worked for more than a decade at Lockheed Aerospace & Aerodyne. He is now jobless and living in a homeless shelter, but actively seeking employment.
Maurice has an in depth "LinkedIn" profile here: http://linkd.in/lK0bdJ
Maurice's e-mail address is given in the video if you have a job opportunity to discuss.
Whalen on Bank of America yesterday on Reuters Insider. Bank of America discussion begins at the 3-minute mark. Runs 2 minutes from there. Worth the time.
