...nearly lost that the credit crunch endangers loans for cars, homes, farms and businesses--which in turn endangers millions of jobs and pensions. "I begged them to explain this to the guy on his couch, and they never did," says Congressman Steve LaTourette, an Ohio Republican in a swing district who voted against the bailout. "They never explained why they needed all this money in a simple way to the guy with the 401(k), the guy with a small business who already pays a lot in taxes."

...rare bassist who can keep up with both Ulrich’s punishing tempos and Kirk Hammett’s roaring guitar solos. Slayer and Anthrax may have their own fiefdoms in the thrash pantheon, and System of a Down may manage to retain their composure when they swing over into metal, but at their best, Metallica plays with more deliberate sophistication than any band that’s ever shred. Fanboys will no doubt note that “Death Magnetic” is Metallica’s first collaboration with Rick Rubin, the legendary producer behind Slayer...
