The cartoon, drawn by Daryl Cagle, appeared in the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette today. "There's a cartoon, I don't know if you guys saw this," said Biden at a rally at Ohio University, "It's John McCain and Sarah Palin standing on the corner of a building that has on the bottom corner written 'BANK.' And it has a group of people, businessmen dressed in suits standing on the ledge, some of them jumping off into the street. And it has Sarah Palin saying to John McCain, "You know, Barack Obama pals around with terrorists, you know?" "I think it best captures anything I have seen," declared Biden. "While the economy is going to hell in a handbasket, while people are losing their jobs, while things are going under, they're running the most scurrilous campaign in modern history trying to tie a decent honorable man raised by his grandparents and his mother who worked his way up -- who fought in a way that few people have to fight to make something of himself." ------------------------------ * <http://caglepost.com/ticker.aspx>* Cartoon by Joe Heller<http://cagle.com/politicalcartoons/PCcartoons/heller.asp>- Comment on the cartoon<http://caglepost.com/cartoon.aspx?id=BC43151B-4DF6-4835-BD34-4842F748483A> We have a great collection of cartoons called "Wall Street CEO's" LOOK!<http://cagle.com/news/WallStreetCEO> *The Price of Banking on Government*<http://www.caglepost.com/column/Terrence+Jeffrey/8184/The+Price+Of+Banking+On+Government.html> by Terrence Jeffrey <http://www.caglepost.com/c/36/Terrence+Jeffrey.html> - Comment on the column<http://www.caglepost.com/column/Terrence+Jeffrey/8184/The+Price+Of+Banking+On+Government.html> There was instructive value even in the language that The Washington Post and The New York Times used to describe the Monday meeting at which nine large banks agreed to surrender part ownership to the government. In describing how it came about, the Post said, "The government ordered the chief executives of nine prominent banks to attend a meeting yesterday at the imposing offices of the Treasury Department." In describing the outcome, the Times said, "Bringing together all nine executives and directing them to participate was a way to avoid stigmatizing any one bank that chose to accept the government investment." The bankers were "ordered" to come to Washington and "directed" to surrender an ownership interest to the state. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson emerged from the meeting looking and talking like Shakespeare's Macbeth when that woeful character emerged from the room where he had just slain the king of Scotland. "We regret having to take these actions," said the remorseful former Wall Street banker. "Today's actions are not what we ever wanted to do, but today's actions are what we must do to restore confidence to our financial system." "Government owning a stake in any private U.S. company is objectionable to most Americans - me included," said Paulson. He then went on to explain that the government intended to buy an interest not only in nine big banks but also in hundreds of smaller - financially healthy - banks all across the country. "Today I am announcing that the Treasury will purchase equity stakes in a wide array of banks and thrifts," Paulson said.
