Larry Summers be gone!
Submitted by Stars Over Washington Blog
You knew it too, didn’t you? That Pres. Obama’s appointment of Larry Summers to his Econo-Team would eventually bite the president in the tushie.

Submitted by Stars Over Washington Blog
Guess my ancestry makes me more of an agrarian American in the Jefferson mold rather than a banking maven, hence my interest in the subject of Pres. Andrew Jackson who was not a fan of the US’ Second Bank which had ‘helped start the Panic of 1819.’
First elected in 1828 [...]

Someone wants it to look as if Dick Cheney’s reputed death squads are responsible for the assassination of Benazir Bhutto - if he’s being framed (I tell ya), they know that it’s seductively easy to consider if not half-believe about the former VP, isn’t it?
