This Post Needs an Interactive Dow Jones Ticker

This post is one of my all-time favorites, except I think an interactive ticker is necessary today.  Why do I keep feeling that we're stuck in time and the year is 1929?  Time for this groundhog to go back in its hole and stay.

To John in Illinois,

If someone does say Sen. Obama is a closet socialist (and I agree that someone will say it, because Republican operatives have already whispered it), how does that person explain that a Republican administration made a decision to loan AIG $85 billion dollars? I've been reading that the government (you and me, etc.) now have an 80% stake in said company.  What is that called?

Our Policy on Comment Submissions: Co-publishers of Narco News (which includes The Narcosphere and The Field) may post comments without moderation. All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
