President Obama Lectures Wall Street. My Lecture on Symbolic Expression.
President Obama’s statements at a press conference yesterday lecturing Wall Street does not help the economic crisis. By chastising bank executives for their billions of dollars in bonuses they paid themselves only months after the federal bailout, however, Obama points out to America how out of touch Wall Street is with the rest of the [...]
Jim Cramer’s MAD MONEY: A Defense.
Jim Cramer, the host of the stock trading television show Mad Money on CNBC, has received a lot of unfair attacks during this economic crisis. I first started watching Mad Money a couple of years ago as a guilty pleasure. With Cramer’s myriad sound effects, turbo charged segments—like the famous “Lightning Round” in which callers [...]
Economy Tanking: Ominous Signs Spell Need For Hope.
The Economy is Tanking.
The economy is tanking. The signs are clear that our financial system, our manufacturing, our gross domestic product, and our consumer spending is on life support. Each time it seems that things cannot get worse, things get worse. Wall Street journalists have been using the phrase, “It’s always darkest before the dawn” [...]
How to Fix the Economy: Obama Gets to Work.
Before this past fall, 2008, the Iraq War concerned most Americans. As September stumbled into October, the stock market crashed, the flow of credit froze, and money began to evaporate in banks and the auto industry, suddenly the economy concerned Americans the most. As the adage goes, people vote their pocketbook.
I think that Obama is [...]

Lawsuit Against the Vatican. Child Abuse Cover UP and Vows of Silence.
A couple of months ago, a United States appeals court ruled that the Vatican can be sued for the sexual abuse committed by priests in the United States.
Trying to block the class action lawsuit, the Vatican argued that it was protected by laws granting sovereign states immunity from almost all US civil proceedings. The [...]
Miracle on the Hudson River. Airline Incidents as American Symbols.
The Miracle on the Hudson is a symbol of hope at the end of eight years of hopelessness. The Bush administration began with the horrendous tragedy of 9/11, when terrorists flew two jet airliners into each tower of the World Trade Center, killing thousands of innocent people. It ended when pilot Chelsey Sullenberger landed [...]
ICE STORM IN CONNECTICUT: Today and 1973.
We are experiencing an ice storm today. Needing to get some academic work done at home, I found myself repeating a pseudo-prayer in my head last night: “I hope it turns to rain so my son has school.” The weather nerd that I am, I looked at the local radar on my computer around midnight. [...]
THE BLAME GAME. A List of Economic Outrages
People always become experts about the economy after disaster strikes. The most irritating catchphrase is: “I told you so.” And no one likes–or necessarily believes–the smart alack who says: “I saw it coming, so I sold all my stock, putting my money in savings accounts just before the market crashed. Now I am cash rich [...]
