From Denny: Big government moves soooo slooow like this silly sloth. The Democrats give in to the Republicans protecting the very rich in this country. The problem is that the extension of the Bush Tax Cuts is a not paid for $900 billion two-year gamble in a shaky economy. Not exactly the best odds. Let's hope Obama gets this one right because most economists and the public don't feel confident about it.
Moving right along to the WikiLeaks amusement. This week the WikiLeaks thugs got in a snit with Mastercard, Visa and Paypal for not allowing anyone to donate to WikiLeaks, essentially cutting off a lot of their funding. So, about 40,000 folks downloaded some happy software that took over their computers and basically jammed the servers of Mastercard, Visa and Paypal, shutting down their sites. Why anyone would allow some anonymous site to take over their computer is beyond me. Talk about a personal security nightmare.
Anyway, the word is that WikiLeaks kids are also making mischief on those sites, messing with accounts. Here's a suggestion to WikiLeaks followers: how about tripping on over to all the Big Banks and making like Robin Hood during the holiday season? You could zero out account balances for people in hospital, past due credit cards, house mortgages in foreclosure and the like. Oh, what fun we have on the way to Grandma's for Christmas! :)
