The Subprime Mortgage Crisis, Explained

Despite being "back," I'm obviously still not on top of things enough to do any proper blogging. Hopefully, next week. In the meantime, how can I fail to pass along this? From what I can tell, this includes pretty much everything you need to know to understand what's going on with Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, and all the rest. Enjoy! (Warning: bad--but unfortunately, probably not at all inaccurate--language.)

That's right up there with Glenn Beck's "Tickle-me-Elmo" explanation. Abso-effin'-lutely perfect.

Interesting one, but in these days almost everybody in the world has his own explanation. We can still discuss who caused crisis in 1929, so I don't suppose there will be exact person(s) to blame for this crisis in next 50 years. Everybody will swear "it was the other one, not me!!"
Take care,
