 Fad: A week ago LIBOR was an acronym you skimmed over when you pretended to read all that paperwork that came with the mortgage refinance. Today it is the reason that CEOs of the world's largest banks are having cardboard boxes sent to their offices and legislators baying for regulation. Suddenly the highest realms of finance have become a “massive cesspit.” Well, no. They've been a massive cesspit for quite some time, it's just that the yucky stuff is beginning to seep all over the front lawn. The regulators and the politicians and the CEOs have known this for years, but until the public beheadings begin, there is no incentive to end the party. Tell me the one about “free markets” again.

 His Master's Voice: Republicans are blocking funds from the SEC and the CFTC, which will prevent them from fulfilling their regulatory missions, thus accomplishing theirs.

Blather: Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) says Republicans trying to keep 30 million Americans from getting health insurance is “not the issue”. Paul Ryan (R-WI) agrees, as does John Boehner. Not to be left out, NH Tea Party president Mike Malzone said he hopes the 5 Supreme Court Justices who ruled to support ACA “get colon cancer.” What ever happened to uniting to promote the general welfare?

Tip Toe To The Tipping Point: The Greenland Ice sheet will turn in another record melt this year. It will soon reach the point where the summer melt covers the entire land mass, after which the ice sheet will progressively melt away. Away, in this instance, being Bangladesh.
ROI: FL Republican Governor Rick Scott’s assault on voting rights has so far netted 41 “potential noncitizens”- out of the hundreds of thousands on “the list”.

Wall Street's continuing crimes are only possible with our permission.
