SEC Admits Flawed Oversight of Lehman Brothers -

In the wake of a 2,200-page report on how "misleading" accounting techniques led to Lehman Brothers' collapse, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Mary Schapiro would not comment on whether an investigation would commence, but acknowledged that the agency's oversight of Lehman was "terribly flawed in design and execution."

"It was inadequately staffed almost from the very beginning. It was a bit insular and stove-piped," she said.

Silent Spring Has Sprung -

Seasons change, yet some things remain the same. Nearly half a century ago, Rachel Carson debuted the first serial installment of what would eventually become one of the landmark works of the 20th century, "Silent Spring."

Five Yards and a Cloud of Dust -

Last week, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) made it clear to any and all that he was going to vote "No" on the health care reform package currently being considered by the House. His argument was simple, and on many levels, entirely correct: the current bill is half a loaf, does not contain any kind of public option and is a big, fat giveaway to the insurance and pharmaceutical industries.

Alarm bells started ringing all over the White House, and Representative Kucinich found himself invited for an Air Force One trip with the president. The plane landed, and Representative Kucinich emerged with an announcement that he would, in fact, be voting "Yes" on the bill.

Joe Conason | Right Wing Gone Wild -

Demagogues often prosper under the rules of democracy, intimidating the moderate and preying on the weak-minded.

Yes, Democrats have rallied behind a bill that Republicans -- or at least large numbers of them -- should love. It is built on a series of principles that Republicans espoused for years.
