Sunday Talking Heads: October 17, 2010
Sheila Bair is on Newsmakers talking foreclosure – iirc the Pelosi interview was taped months ago for To The Contrary – imagine my surprise that once again Tweety is going on about Hillary usurping Joe Biden — and may the FSM have mercy, Megan McCain is on Amanpour’s roundtable, sigh, that is quite the panel assembled. Ondelette posted a diary in honor of Benoît Mandelbrot who passed away. Fractals rule. Thanks to ondelette for the video.
