Busy of late plowing through this amazing article by Matt Taibbi for Rolling Stone. A must read, an exposé of amazing depth on the financial background of the bank failures. People so greedy and corrupt reading about them makes my skin crawl. They've all made out like bandits, too. White collar crime at its finest, infecting just about the entire global financial system. Anyway, i'm having a post-mid-life crisis so only writing to insist everyone reads Taibbi's piece and if you can afford it, buy gold.
