NY Times Reading for the Week of 3/09

Monday...

It's good to hear about Obama supporting stem cell research...in this time of need for radical change its time for the nation to actually start thinking radically. Stem cell research could bring about so much in the scientific community and if supported it will only be the beginning. Props to Obama to pushing forward on these grounds.

More news about auctions for foreclosed homes. Alright let's take a look at this...the government is feeding billions of tax payer dollars to the banks that have put the nation in debt, and not to the countless families losing their homes. Why not let the banks go bankrupt, pay for their debts to society, and give a chance to the people who are being put on the streets. All this is going to do is allow billionaires from China to rush over here and buy up all they can. Not only do we import something like 70% or more from China...now they're buying up all the homes that are being stripped from our neighbors. I'm still not sold on the bailout, and I don't think these people are either.

A-rod out until May. Don't worry New York fans. Mr. July will be back in time to poke one into the bleachers while you're already up by 4 anyway. While the Yanks are busy signing his checks, we'll be cueing the duckboats.

Tuesday...

Suicide bombings in Sri Lanka are going down but don't worry, Jay Leno is doing a free show in Michigan. And chill out U.S.-stop messing with China. Most of the stuff we own comes from over there, and they're starting to buy up all the real estate over here. Let's pass the peace pipe for once.

Wednesday...

Madoff pleaded guilty for all the money he stole from his clients. This is the prime example of why our economy is going to hell in a hand basket. I say throw this guy to the dogs, and use all his stolen loot to buy back homes for all the people who are losing them. I'm sure you can find something good to do with 65 billion.

Thursday...

Some kid in Germany went Columbine and shot killed 15 people, and then himself. He also stole a car in the process. I wonder if they're gonna blame this on movies or music.



Let's hear some good news that stands out like all this, shall we?
