Crooked Deal, No Oversight: Bank America Gets $75 TRILLION Bailout From Taxpayers?
What happened to screw over Americans? You see Bank of America got greedy and shoveled toxic derivatives out of their recently purchased Merrill Lynch and into the part of the bank that is insured by the U.S. government: taxpayers.
That way the Merrill Lynch unit of Bank of America will not be responsible for what could be as much as $75 TRILLION in this toxic dump. That's how much of this garbage they have in house. To get perspective on this, the annual American economy is only $15 trillion.

Dennys Global Politics: Didnt I Tell Ya? Libyan Gaddafi is Finally Confirmed Dead
Long time dictator Moammar Gaddafi was killed by revolutionary rebel forces that now control the country with a transitional government.
The grandiose Gaddafi had declared himself "King of Kings" of Africa. Instead, he found his legacy as a bloody lifeless body passed around on cell phone pictures around the world. Libyans are giddy with relief the hard slog of an unlikely winnable uprising is finally over.
