...financial bailout, but they didn't, so he didn't. The debate went on; the candidates stayed on message; the pundits all agreed that it wasn't a "game-changer." You did miss the largest bank failure in American history, not to mention a $25 billion bailout of the auto industry, but that's chump change these days, right? You might not have heard that investment banks are now officially extinct, but basically the economy is on the same precipice it was on last week...

...recent memory. As far as content goes, Lil’ Wayne’s newest album doesn’t depart far from his traditional material. With sugary club hits like “Lollipop” and “Got Money” (featuring the perpetually auto-tuned T-Pain), Lil’ Wayne has covered his bases and ensured complete dominance of the pop charts. The material on the album doesn’t depart far from what we expect. Weezy loves to tell us stories of the women with whom he’s had domestic...

...natural gas, bad for climate change. A better solution: tap into the enormous extra capacity of the grid during off-peak times, like between midnight and dawn. According to a study by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, off-peak capacity could support the conversion of 73% of the current auto fleet - enough to cut demand for oil in half - without the addition of a single extra plant, provided the cars all charge late at night. "We have a great amount of untapped resources," says Luke Tonachel, vehicle analyst for the Natural Resources Defense Council. "We can minimize impact...

Separate funds are kept for property and casualty insurance - things like auto and homeowner policies. Those funds again vary by state but typically cap at $300,000, according to The National Conference of Insurance Guaranty Funds. It tends to be easier, though, to get other insurance carriers to take over these policies, since the coverages are shorter-term. If the property and casualty funds do kick in, they cover existing claims and typically ones made 30 days from the time of liquidation - to give you time to get a new policy...
