Just finished Inside Job. I found it extremely well done - it presented the whole mess in a terrifically clear and orderly manner, including a simple explanation of derivatives and CDO's. Ferguson got some really high level economists to agree to be interviewed by him for the film. He has a

More proof that every house should have at least one assault riffle. We do it right in Texas. Kind of. We don't yet have vigilante justice but hopefully that's coming soon. I'm all for bringing back the stocks and the lash in the town square but the Texas tradition is dragging behind a horse.
