Last week, when some obscure Greek Socialist demanded reparations from Germany for its WW II occupation of Greece, we predicted that Germany would ask for a few islands in exchange for bailout billions.

You can't make this stuff up. This is how we should have dealt with AIG's counterparties.

Bunning Gives Up The Deficit Fight
Video: DEMs go on the offensive and attack Bunning
I admire the Senator for making a symbolic point about the debt and deficit. In the end, the political flack was too much for Republicans to bear and they forced Bunning to cave. Yes, Bunning supported the same when Bush was in charge, and so I agree it was hypocritical.
But who are we to argue and complain when a Senator chooses to make a public relations stand against greater deficit spending. So I won't.

An excellent series of articles on former NBA great Dave Bing, now Detroit Mayor, as he struggles to remake the dying city. His battle with spoiled and stubborn public-employee unions demonstrates the insanity and corruption that exists everywhere. It's an epidemic of budget-busting promises to public employees and lavish pensions at taxpayers' expense. Time to bust contracts.
