...counter-protesters also made a “wall of love”—a sheet decorated with signatures and positive messages—to be displayed in the College’s BGLTSA Resource Center...
...balance sheet of debacles caused by this economic crisis - the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), the stock-market swoon, the credit crunch and the ongoing global recession - $165 million is small change. But the revelations of the AIG bonuses, like nothing else, seemed to finally tip the mounting public furor over corporate malpractice into a full-scale rebellion. Yet Geithner, embarrassed for discovering the bonuses so late, plans to dock AIG that much out of the next $30 billion in bailout funding when it is delivered - which amounts to a mere 0.1% of the total AIG has received...
...fixes. Central banks and financial technocrats are moving to end some of the more flagrant abuses and rethink the financial system's rules - but, inevitably, that is a slow and painstaking task.

In a painful stroke of irony, there is a $15.4 billion line item for deferred taxes on the asset side of Freddie's balance sheet. That means Freddie is still hoping to claim $15 billion in write-offs against future profits. But since Freddie continues to lose money and is now part of the government, the likelihood that it will have to pay taxes anytime soon is probably nil. Add up all those items, and it becomes apparent...
