…but his cronies apparently can sink a bank with the best of em.:
Hmmm. Feds moved to shut down Obama crony bank ShoreBank today, but it’s not really going away
Now one more bank failing is not news, but doesn’t it strike you as odd that so many taxpayer bailed out companies are so anxious to do a favor to this particular bank that is shall we say “connected”?
You know if you are a business it’s nice to have a friendly reputation but it’s even nicer to have a reputation for success.

Everybody seems to be acting as if BP was just dying to release oil into the Gulf, but what really annoys me is the suggestion that BP isn’t trying to fix this.

When you get you get the type of accident that happens once every two generations like this one is going to be expensive, that’s cool and fair but lets not forget that the goal isn’t to break the company, lose the energy it produces or the jobs it creates.

This is the tweet of the day
The New NBA admission Plan!
I think it would be a lot of fun if 10,000 people showed up at each NBA game trying this.
Attending the NBA games for free. It’s a human right!
Update: Wouldn’t it be interesting if the Minuteman project decided to try to get into tonight’s game without tickets as a protest? I gave them a call to suggest it.
Update 2 Instalanche. Hi folks, take a peek around. See the comment of the minutemen about this subject.
