Why It’s Not Over, Part II
OK, this is just funny and we need a breather, but no one with any management skills at all tries to quell a real crisis this way.
More seriously, if I were a Nobel Prize winning economist this is what I would have to say about the Paulson business. As they say, read the whole thing:

Denn: “(Copeland) the insurance industry’s chief water-carrier”
Matt Denn, who during his time as Insurance Commissioner had a front row seat to all of Copeland’s anti-consumer/pro-insurance industry votes in Senate, hit back at Charles Lamot Dupont Copeland’s smears today and did not pull any punches, calling Copeland “the insurance industry’s chief water-carrier in Dover” for voting against consumer protects and in line with insurance industry lobbyists instructions.
