Two must-read articles
November 13th, 2008 by ReinderAndrew Sullivan on why Sarah Palin still matters. Because somebody needs to be held to account for selecting the worst vice-presidential candidate in history. (via Lawyers, Guns and Money)
Michael Lewis on the End of Wall Street's Boom. This long article by Michael Lewis, writer of Liar's Poker is financial porn: It explains in lurid detail just how complex some of the financial instruments used on Wall Street are, and just how poorly the financiers themselves understood them. You'll be amused and outraged at the same time. (via Naked Capitalism, but I can't find the link anymore)
