More News You Don't Care About

Today, more shit on Wall Street. World insurance giant, AIG, was bailed out of financial turmoil by the federal government to save them from bankruptcy. They were given $85 BILLION! I don't know what this will mean in the short run, long run, any run, but I hope it pays off in the end. On paper this sounds very smart, seeing that AIG controls trillions of dollars in insurance and investments and if everyone lost that, then the world would be fucked. So...I hope this shit storm ends soon...because the USA is supposed to be a world money leader, not poor as fuck.

On a related note, what's up with anyone on the news blinking 100 times per minute? I can see the people not wanting to look like they are reading the teleprompter, but what about everyone else? They all do it.
