...global meltdown that many feared a year ago has not materialized. "We got very close to the edge of a financial crisis we haven't seen since the 1930s, which had the potential of pulling into that vortex the financial institutions and markets of the core economies," says Kenneth Courtis of Deutsche Bank Group in Tokyo.

...Republicans continued their cockamamie inquiries. From Filegate to Travelgate to Chinagate, they spent more time concocting investigations than they did creating policy, a fact that wasn't lost on the American people come election time.

Like road-company Kenneth Starrs, inspectors general and their flatfoots roam through the private lives of public officials. The idiotic pursuit of the diplomat Richard Holbrooke, our proposed ambassador to the United Nations, a man who has spent most of the past 40 years working for the government only to have his whole life investigated anew, is the latest dismal consequence of uninhibited and unaccountable prosecutorial authority...
