  3. Here is an interesting piece on how regulators and Congress were asleep at the switch and failed to prevent abusive loans that nurtured the housing bubble. Note who got the most money from Wall Street.

  7. "heard you got locked down over at LawrenceYunWatch by Blogger, did they tell you why?"

    They just said that "This blog has been locked due to possible Blogger Terms of Service violations. You may not publish new posts until your blog is reviewed and unlocked.

    This blog will be deleted within 20 days unless you request a review.
    "

    I am confident that Keith and I will be granted access within a week or so.
