Well, as many have probably noticed by now, the video of the children praising the Messiah has been removed from YouTube.
I'm actually quite curious as to what has precipitated this move, but if I had to guess I'd put my money on the rather large number of comments claiming the children were being exploited without any real knowledge of what they were singing about - not that having no idea what you're talking about has ever stopped anyone from engaging in politics.
In somewhat unrelated news, I am shocked and amazed -insert sarcasm here- that our $850 billion Bailout package ($700 billion plus $150 in pork) plus a coordinated rate cut by every civilized nation has failed to stem the destruction of our economy. You'd think with as much as Ben Bernanke claims to have studied the Great Depression, he'd know more than anyone that GOVERNMENT CANNOT FIX THIS PROBLEM, they will only make it worse. The artificially inflated markets need to be punctured. The businesses that took excessive risks need to fail.
I realize that there will be huge, HUGE economic hardship when (not if) this happens. We need to just let it happen... not completely debase our currency or needlessly throw away almost a trillion dollars in a futile attempt to stop it.

I'm all for economic stimulus packages to fix what's wrong with our economy. I think the government should divide 700 trillion dollars equally among all private citizen tax payers, devalue artificially inflated property values and let Americans go by a home... or maybe not.
Plan B - let nature take it's course and nationalize any defunct bank without paying a dime for the worthless asset.
