Bailout costs more than Marshall Plan, Louisiana Purchase, moonshot, S&L bailout, Korean War, New Deal, Iraq war, Vietnam war, and NASAs lifetime budget -- combined!

Bailout More Expensive than World War II?

clipped by: Joshua Zumbrun
clippers remarks: Now Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Fed chair Ben Bernanke would be quick, I think, to dispute that $4.6165 trillion dollars is a cost. A lot of apples and oranges (and grapes and berries and pomegranates) to get to that figure.

The point that either way were talking about a lot of fruit, howvever, is an important one.

Big Bailouts, Bigger Bucks

By Barry Ritholtz - November 25th, 2008, 7:19AM

Whenever I discussed the current bailout situation with people, I find they have a hard time comprehending the actual numbers involved. That became a problem while doing the research for the Bailout Nation book. I needed some way to put this into proper historical perspective.

Many schools from developed economies see the need to educate their students of the sufferings and hardships their predecessors have endured in the past, and therefore, the easier way is to bring students to poorer countries. So is the case of Northview secondary school in Singapore, which has chosen Vietnam for a group of 26 students and four teachers to look into the development history.

Government-backed mob ransacks Catholic chapel in Hanoi

clipped by: Efrain Alvarado

Clip Source: www.catholicnewsagency.com

Hanoi, Nov 20, 2008 / 12:23 am (CNA).- A government-backed mob attacked and ransacked the chapel of Hanoi Redemptorist Monastery on Saturday night in a continuation of the dispute between Catholics and the communist government over confiscated property.

?the government?s organized attack at night time,? Fr. Joseph Dinh explained that Hanoi Redemptorists rang bells to summon nearby parishioners to rescue the monastery. Thousands of Catholics and nearby parish priests rushed to the site to stop the mob from destroying the chapel, J.B. An Dang tells CNA.

?It was significant that the government struck Thai Ha parish right on the day Catholics in Vietnam celebrated the Feast of Vietnamese Martyrs,? Fr. Joseph Nguyen said. ?This attack reminds people that since its very first outset, the seed of Faith in Vietnam soil was mixed with the abundant blood of the martyrs from all walks of life, from the courageous missionary clergy as well as the local clergy and the Christian people of Vietnam.?

Fr. Roy Crossing Another Line

clipped by: vicwelle

Clip Source: ncronline3.org

(CNS file photo, 2004)In his own words, Maryknoll Fr. Roy Bourgeois has ?poked at a lot of hornets nests? along the way from soldier in Vietnam to committed pacifist and persistent critic of U.S. military policy. He?s poked at the presumptions of major institutions and systems, including, most recently, standing in opposition to the Catholic church?s ban on ordaining women.

But for all of the heat he?s taken, for all of the scary episodes that come with bucking the status quo, one of the most emotionally wrenching moments of his life occurred just days ago in the living room of his childhood home.

They waited now to hear what 95-year-old Roy Sr., devout Catholic and daily Mass attendee, would say about this latest in a long history of controversies involving his son.

The Vietnam Exposé That Wasnt

By Nick Turse

November 13, 2008

"Pacifications Deadly Price," a joint investigation into the slaughter of Vietnamese civilians by US troops during Operation Speedy Express

he found the first clues of large-scale slaughter carried out from December 1968 through May 1969.

They learned that most of these deaths were the day-to-day result of civilians, individually or in small clusters, being fired upon at night and from the air.

HARVARD BEATS YALE 29-29

Harvard Beats Yale 29-29

Back in 1968, When a Tie Was No Tie

For most of the world, I suspect, the year 1968 signifies upheaval, revolution, power to the people, Vietnam and My Lai, Paris in flames, Martin and Bobby, Nixon versus Humphrey. Another great rivalry played out that year in the form of a college football game. And while it seems absurd to include such a picayune event in the annals, the filmmaker Kevin Rafferty makes the case for remembrance and for the art of the story in his preposterously entertaining documentary ?Harvard Beats Yale 29-29,? preposterous at least for those of us who routinely shun that pagan sacrament.

?Bull Tales,? Garry Trudeau?s Yale Daily News comic strip, based its character B. D. on the quarterback Brian Dowling.

Bill Ayers Tells His Story, Finally

BERNADINE DOHRN: Nothing the Weather Underground did was terrorist. And, you know, we could make lots of choices if we were reliving it. Nothing we did was perfect. But decision was made, after the death of our three comrades in a townhouse, not to hurt people, to engage in direct actions that were symbolic, that were recognizable and understandable to the American people and that protected people. And that kind of restraint was widespread. There were tens of thousands of political bombings over that first three?1970, ?71, ?72, ?73, all across the country, not under anybody?s leadership, but they were overwhelmingly restrained, symbolic.

go back to the savage and unrestrained terror that the United States was unleashing in the world, in Vietnam, as Bill said, and at home. You remember that the assassinations of black political leaders in the United States was a regular feature of life. And, you know, it seemed?the context of the time has to be understood.
