in Borat Brought Chaos to Runway on Daily Dose of Fantasy
the pictures of Cohen crashing the fashion show in Milan hardly look like him... judging by the aftermath, though, it looks like it was an effective marketing ploy

I think he has some crazy beliefs and he does anything that supports his beliefs no matter what.

in Google Chrome 0.2.149.30 Beta - Freeware on Demand 'n' Supply
it's funny, the more i use Chrome (for windows), the more unstable it seems to get... crashes a lot more, can't handle sites with flash, hangs every time i close a tab... all that to say, i'm switching back to Firefox

Google Chrome works better as an alternative through the very basic ,
essential needs and times of the day, im happy that Chrome in its initial
steps is such a boon, more is yet to come... to see Chrome in later stages
would surely be one of my wishes come true !

in Trillion Dollar Bailout Will Lead to Future Bubbles on OpenMarket.org
still, it's hard to object to the government's mass bailouts as similar debt-producing methods were put into action to bring the U.S. out of the Depression... our economy has been supported and driven by debt ever since

Thanks. But the whole point of my blog post was that the debt-producing methods in the Depression were part of an overall government policy that was less effective than the government simply doing nothing in the 1920-21 recession.
(It's true that World War II, which created debt, did bring the U.S. out of the Depression, but early pump-priming indebtedness during the New Deal didn't produce a lasting, or substantial, recovery, unlike the economic boom in the 1920s, which followed the 1920-21 recession, in which the government did nothing. Great Britain, which cut public employee salaries and spending during the Great Depression, actually fared better during the Depression than the U.S., which increased spending heavily during the New Deal).
(Admittedly, the Smoot-Hawley tariff and other factors like Fed policy also contributed to the Great Depression lingering).
