Apparently yes: The more you get angry, the angrier you get. @ Fascinating.

If you haven’t seen this video, you should. I’m not sure Paul Krugman has all the answers, but he’s been making some good points recently. For example, here are his thoughts on the Geithner “cash for trash” plan:

This is more than disappointing. In fact, it fills me with a sense of despair.

After all, we’ve just been through the firestorm over the A.I.G. bonuses, during which administration officials claimed that they knew nothing, couldn’t do anything, and anyway it was someone else’s fault. Meanwhile, the administration has failed to quell the public’s doubts about what banks are doing with taxpayer money.

And now Mr. Obama has apparently settled on a financial plan that, in essence, assumes that banks are fundamentally sound and that bankers know what they’re doing.

It’s as if the president were determined to confirm the growing perception that he and his economic team are out of touch, that their economic vision is clouded by excessively close ties to Wall Street. And by the time Mr. Obama realizes that he needs to change course, his political capital may be gone.

That sounds about right, doesn’t it? Regardless, the song and video are fun and add a much-needed bit of levity to this whole bailout debacle.

If you like that, also check out Jonathan Mann’s website where he’s posting a song/video every day. I’ve also been enjoying “My Obama Neurosis (In the Key of C).” It succinctly and humorously captures the ambivalence and bewilderment I’ve been feeling about our new president.

So, let me get this straight, we are socializing the loss but privatizing the gain. While shareholders in the banks will be rewarded for the incompetence shown by their executives, taxpayers will be left holding worthless assets. Seems like a good deal, huh? @

@ I’ve seen about 50 of these and at least 25 more were already on that “I should probably see this” list. The rest? Not sure…

I mean besides sleeping, eating, and having sex, what else do you need to do? You're just taking this class so later in life you can sleep in a better place, eat better food, and have sex with someone hotter! @ ;-)

Tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow I will try harder, and do better. That’s all I can do. @ Tough situation, but trying our best is really all any of us can do…
