Weak and watered down. Obama is hollering victory and it is better than nothing but not nearly enough. The banks are already crying and threatening to cut off free banking. Take a listen: 'All this will mean that banks will impose fees on existing consumers to try to make up for cash they need to store as capital or spend on levies, and consumers who cannot pay the fees will have to give up on banking services, Bove said. He estimates that "at least 10 million people" will lose banking services in the US after the new financial regulations come into force, because "they just won't be profitable for banks and banks won't keep them." ' -- Dick Bove, Rochdale Securities Want to bet this doesn't happen? If you're not part of a small community bank with conservative lending values maybe you should consider bailing from the big boys who are the only ones likely to impose the above measures.

BP says the flow has been capped: value of stock up over 38.. a f t !!

...bring your electronics to a place that will responsibly reuse as much as possible and dispose of the rest instead of throwing it in the general trash. Though it would be nice to just blip it out of existence with a keystroke, less time and fuel cost n'all that.

we have electronic recycling in Oakland, both city-approved places that take the stuff for free and assorted recycling fairs sponsored by various organizations.

...should read "nazi-like fascists".

The NAACP is a profit-mongering organization deserving to be thrown on the ash-heap of history? NOT! Not all tea-party activists are racist. Many of them are well-meaning fiscal conservatives but they have created the space for the frightening flaming freaks of the right wing. You know, the people who stay up late at night sharpening the weapons of hate. What is truly frightening is that they could field a sleeper candidate for the presidency. Less frightening but all-to-real? Derailing the Obama presidency. This latest knee-jerk attack on the NAACP is beyond the pale. They are revealing their true colors. All the NAACP is asking the tea party to do is repudiate the racists within their ranks and they won't do that. Substitute jews for blacks and we see these extremists for what they really are -- fascist-like Nazis . Beware and vote. If good, decent people don't vote then the crazies might win..

is done in SF-wonder where else it's done

DATA ENTRY IS A F****** BITCH!!!

I for one am tired of everything going electronic. At work we don't use paper at all, everything and I mean everything is done on the computer. Wow now I have tendonitis in my wrist from all the mousing around. At least it is not carpal tunnel I guess. Speaking of eye strain, I had to get glasses this year after having better than 20/20 my whole life. Damn computers! I'm falling apart! These things sound good on paper but then you find out during execution that it wasn't such a good idea. "Lazy lightning you say you never strike the same place. I want a double dose in any case" ...
