I really thought that someone, likely McCain was set to make political hay from the “bailout” plan. Looks like no one made any points here. Some weird things crept into the bailout plan. Rum rebates? Are pirates a voting bloc in this election?

Counting the “bailout” it looks like old “W” really ran up a big deficit during the last eight years. Why bother voting for the “small government” candidate anymore?

Distraction by Bruce Sterling

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
Set in the “distant” future where the U.S. is broke and our institutions like the congress is more broken than it is today – this book blends sci-fi with hacking and social engineering. Lots of good fun except the parts that seem depressing plausible.
