Link: Hank Paulson's inside jobs -- Felix Salmon


Paulson was giving inside tips to Wall Street in general, and to Goldman types in particular: exactly the kind of behavior that "Government Sachs" conspiracy theorists have been speculating about for years. Turns out, they were right.


Paulson, says Teitelbaum, "is now a distinguished senior fellow at the University of Chicago, where he's starting the Paulson Institute, a think tank focused on U.S.-Chinese relations". I'd take issue with the "distinguished" bit. Unless it means "distinguished by an astonishing black hole where his ethics ought to be".

Link: 6 Yr Old Charged With Sexual Assault For Playing Doctor -- Dvorak News Blog


Attorneys for the parents of the 6-year-old, who is being referred to as “D,” said that Riniker has gone too far by bringing a felony sex charge against a first-grader for touching a 5-year-old girl inappropriately while playing doctor last fall.



In justification for the charge, Riniker is quoted in the lawsuit saying “the Legislature could have put an age restriction in the statute … the legislature did no such thing.”


The lawsuit also alleges the charges were brought because the 5-year-old is the daughter of a high-ranking official in Grant County.



New phrase to teach those kids; that woman is an A*S*S*H*O*L*E!!
