Fun, goofy new iPhone App called Bailout Ben:
Bailout Ben (aka Helicopter Benny), the intrepid pilot of Bail Force One, is on a mission to engineer the biggest bailout in the history of the universe! Benny’s helicopter is flying lower and lower, and if he doesn’t bail out every single company he will crash & burn!
The names of the companies to be bailed out are shown on the bottom of the screen, in stock ticker format. For example, C for Citigroup, GM for General Motors.
The debt of each company is denoted by the blue and green bars. The taller the bar, the greater the toxic debt. Tap the screen to drop a bundle of dollars and help bail out a company. Only one wad of cash can be dropped at a time, so manage your bailouts carefully.
Land the helicopter and see Benny dance to the funky beat*. Or be trampled by a herd of piggy banks, angry at the lack of money flowing their way. Sometimes they get really mad and then it's "Oh my gosh they killed Benny!"
Can you bail out everyone safely, or will you soon crash & burn? Its a question everyone is waiting on!

Gosh, I’m all broken up about Fox News’ shoot-own-foot approach making their fair and balanced content available to the populace.
Nice, especially about the little piggy banks.
Venn, Fox will still gain the attention of the people as long as there are sports games, people will identify Fox sports and Fox news as valid sources of information. About the only way to upset that apple cart is to start feeding christians to the lions; Then sports and politics and religion and politics will once again have to go their seperate ways…
just when you think things can’t get weirder, they do.

Unexpectedly, the Bank of Israel raised interest rates by 25 bps to 1%. While their policy has no relevance for the rest of the world in terms of its impact, the reasoning behind the move is worth a read to glean the thoughts of other central bankers. They said "1 yr forward inflation expectations increased moderately last month, and are in the upper part of the target range," that this move to raise rates "will help to establish inflation one year ahead firmly within the target range" and Q3 data "indicate recovery in economic activity." Also, they acknowledge that while...
