The BAILOUT has passed but what comes next is not clear

 

Click here to read this LA Times article about what to look for in the future. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson hasn't bothered to share how he plans to administer his new found power. He's been given the green light to pump tax payer's cash into his old stomping grounds, Wall Street. Who can forget Paulson was once the Chairman of Goldman Sachs Group Inc.?

He's going to have the power to play up to his cronies and some firms are going to get more money than others. My bet is they're firms favorable to Wall Street's new savior Paulson. Some lawmakers managed to tack on some pork projects (how about $1 million for wooden arrows!) which will also require more tax payer cash. Why do I feel like the only thing that happened was that the little man/average American got screwed again?

Is this deal proof that we don't need to bail out Wall Street? Could it be the market will adjust itself without the proposed $700 million dollar handout?

Robber escapes in inner tube!

Click here to read about an original robbery for the books: the robber posted an online ad on Craigslist seeking 27 laborers for a landscaping job. "Why," you ask?

Because he used these men as decoys in a bank robbery. He had them waiting across the street from the bank he was going to rob. The men were told to wear blue shirts, work boots, and safety vests to apply for the job. The reason why was that the robber himself was wearing the same attire and he wanted to create some confusion for the cops.

The guy then went to a nearby river, hopped into an inner tube, and made his getaway!

Planes circle airport as controller sleeps!
