...Kennedy’s candidacy manifests a problem more serious than one Senate seat, however. Political discourse is beginning to feel more like a clash of personality cults than a real debate. This type of discourse was all too prevalent this past election, when we heard more about McCain’s “maverick” brand and the antics of his running mate than we did his economic policy, and more about Obama’s immutable “hope” than his actual agenda. Indeed, despite the unique confluence of a crashing economy...
...never heard of the Snuggie, then you haven't been watching cable TV. The two-minute commercial for the "blanket with sleeves," which began airing last September, has been playing endlessly - and not just on struggling channels during the wee hours of the morning. Images of Snuggie-clad family members high-fiving one another at an outdoor sporting event - and looking like, as one blogger put it, a "laid-back Satanic cult" - have appeared during prime time on such cable stalwarts as ESPN, Comedy Central and CNN, becoming so ubiquitous that everyone from Jay Leno to a gazillion people...

Marvin Gaye put out What's Going On, a thoughtful, socially conscious album whose title track Gordy famously called the worst song he had ever heard.

...others devastated by Madoff's $50 billion global Ponzi - people like me, who collectively may have contributed 30% to 50% of Madoff's billions under management and never heard of Madoff until a month ago - are wondering what to do and whom to sue. Currently there are 17 legal cases filed against Madoff or his feeder-fund managers, according to the D&O Diary, a legal blog following the case. Some of these suits are akin to grasping at straws. For example, my feeder-fund manager, Stanley Chais, has already said he's broke because of losses suffered with Madoff...
