While many conservatives see anti-Iraq Democrats as McGovern's spawn, they're a very different breed. Pelosi and Reid aren't against the war on terrorism; their Iraq-withdrawal bill actually increases funding for Afghanistan. Today's antiwar movement doesn't raise a middle finger at the Pentagon. In fact, Democratic leaders say they're defending an American military ravaged by too many deployments and too little funding. And if today's Democrats aren't McGovern, today's Republicans aren't Nixon. George W. Bush isn't winding the Iraq war down; he's ratcheting...
...three panels right next to each other," says Mike Krahulik, half of the team that produces the webcomic Penny Arcade. "It often is.

Some say it's excessive regulation, most of which doesn't apply to private-equity investments. Whatever the explanation, the billions earned by private-equity operations aren't "created," as the whimsical conceit of Wall Street troubadours would have it. These billions are a toll charge collected from ordinary investors...
Federal regulators stood by while this went on, but don't blame Munnell's study or the desire to encourage lending to minorities. "The point of that study was never to say, 'Let's go out and lend to people who aren't going to be able to carry the debt,'" Munnell argues. Sure enough, federally supervised banks and S&Ls and mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac seem to have avoided big hits...
