This is how you should handle a PR disaster like Michael Vick. Don’t call him a d-bag in the press: Everyone knows he is one. Instead, give the dude a chance to show that he can rehab his public image. Kudos to the Humane Society for realizing it. Bad on PETA for screwing this golden opportunity up.source
I think we’re OK for the next six months. We are getting a recovery in (housing) starts and motor vehicles, but the process doesn’t have legs to it.
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan • Giving his prognosis for the economy. Greenspan spent 18 years chairing the reserve, and he knows what he’s talking about. Greenspan’s tenure has been attacked by some critics who say that the housing bubble burst on his dime, but he defends what he did during the time there. One interesting factoid that came out of this: Greenspan says the auto market is oversaturated, with 20 percent more vehicles on the road than licensed drivers. What’s wrong with that? Everyone needs a car AND a truck! • source
Most of the other victims haven’t been found yet. Unlike the Air France crash in the Atlantic Ocean, where there was no hope of survivors, Yemenia Airways Flight 626, which crashed in the Indian Ocean, has at least one survivor. Five other bodies have been found so far. The plane the passengers were riding in, the Airbus A310-300, had a number of faults when it was inspected in 2007 in France, but hadn’t been checked since. Fingers crossed that they find more victims alive. source
