The PBS News Hour has an outstanding explanation of how Goldman Sachs plays not only the market, but the government. There is no better way to spend 20 minutes than watching these two videos. There’s no dramatic music, no rhetorical hyperbole, just quality journalism by Paul Solman that should have you fuming.

The Darth Side of the Fans

Captain America steeping in the tea baggers
Marvel Comics is taking some heat for what’s being taken as a swipe against the Tea Baggers, in the latest issue of Captain America.

I heard about this while watching Keith Olbermann. Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada issued a statement that seemed to implicate… the letterer?? Then, in the middle of the piece, Bill Clinton’s doctors held a press conference about his heart stent operation. I just checked the MSNBC site and this part of Olbermann’s show isn’t there, so I grabbed it myself from the re-broadcast at 10. I sure can make good video transfers off of Verizon FiOS TV, huh?

Clinton’s doctors refused to say what brand of stent was used but if it’s a Kamen stent there’s still a comics connection, because it was invented by Dean Kamen, son of the late comic book artist Jack Kamen.

Weather map
Tomorrow’s weather on the east coast seems to be heading for a replay of last weekend.
Looks like we’re headed for the liquor store.
