Passengers Thwart Alleged Al Qaeda Attempt To Blow Up Northwest Flight Into Detroit
Video: (PROFANITY Warning) A new idea for airline safety (baseball bats)
By now you've read the stories. Made me think of this guy, and his proposed solution for flight safety. And major props to the passenger who vaulted over 3 rows and took down the bomber, though I would suspect we will hear soon it was an air marshall. Either way, he's a hero.

Moody's Questions U.S. And U.K. AAA Rating Due To Debt Levels
Oh, this is a shocker from Moody's, especially considering this update on our outrageous deficit spending for FY 2010.
Sovereign debt default is the new, new black. First Dubai, then Greece, Spain, eventually the UK, the U.S. and Japan. It might take 15 years to see it play out, but rest assured it will happen. Hide the children, because deflation is a killer.
A very real conversation from the bowels of the Fed:
- "Printing presses at the ready, add the green ink. Mr. Bernanke do we have your 'ok' to commence printing?"
Bernanke responds:
- "Press the button for 'multi-trillions', we're going to need it. Hello, Tokyo, this is Ben."
