...fact, of course, it already has. We know for sure once the first eerie beam of evening light spills over the TV set and onto the empty coffeepot. After the last of the final credits, a new series of events will snap into motion: sleeping bodies will stir and start to groan, they’ll start waiting in lines for showers and listlessly offering to help clean up. Then we’ll have to start negotiating the gridlock of cars in the driveway; people will exchange phone numbers, the right ones or made-up ones; the snow will...
...Democrats; a recent CBS News/New York Times poll gave the Democrats a 56% national approval rating, compared with the GOP's 31%. Most problematic is that the Republican Party still lacks an effective leader - House minority leader John Boehner and Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell don't exactly stir up a crowd - and it has a long way to go before it's in striking position to win back majorities in Congress.

"The tax issues of the nominees considered by the Committee this year came to be public only because the nominees chose to proceed. Chairman Baucus and I agree that if a nominee chooses to proceed after tax issues...
...market, it is likely that investors, including hedge funds and private equity funds, could make a great deal of money. That could cause the public to question why a wealthy financial manager makes millions of dollars from the arrangement while the taxpayer gets very little. That may very well stir memories of excessive AIG compensation in a year or so. Ironically, the success of the secondary market may pose the greatest threat to its revitalization...
