Kanye West "Yo" images

Have you seen these joke Kanye West "Yo" images mocking Kanye's douche behavior interrupting Taylor Swift @ MTV Awards?

example

I want to see one as follows

"Yo Obama, I acknowledge you're an epic Corporate Whore in general, & specifically for killing the Public Health Insurance Option, & I'll let you finish, but George Bush 43 was the Biggest Corporate Whore President of All Time"!

Leo Hindery Jobs Solutions for Our Jobless Recovery

good article, I agree on most of the policies Hindery recommends. It's a shame Obama & the Dem congress is not making the bold changes in economic policy required to fix the fugazi economy.

Paul Krugman refutes Austrian view of RGD1

Paul Krugman refutes Austrian economics view of the 1930s Republican Great Depression. The Austrian (Libertarians, Ron Paul heads, Peter Schiff, etc) would say that Fed Gov response made the Depression worse, but Krugman/Keynesian shows that lack of Fed Gov response from Repub Pres Hoover in 1929 when RGD1 started actually did make the Depression worse. Plus Krugman highlights some illogical aspects of the Austrian explanation wrt RGD1

Hiway Credit Union

a friend/existing customer highly recommended Hiway Credit Union, as a great bank for personal finance use. Dude said their rates are dece, the service is dece, & it's reassuring that one can go in & talk to a real manager at the branch.

After all the fraud in 2008-9 Banking Crisis, imho I feel like investigating Credit Unions more.

1 thing I worry about is if Credit Unions enjoy FDIC protection, or if they have an alternate protection, is it dece enough. Hit up the comments if u have a take on this issue.
