The Big 3:We Already Bailed Out Hedge Funds, Counting the Candidate Googles, Billions, Trillions - Whatev

1. We Already Bailed Out Hedge Funds

2. Counting the Candidate Googles

3. Billions, Trillions - Whatev

1. Actual headline of the day: “SAC's Cohen, Einhorn Raise Money From Investors as Most Hedge Funds Shrink”. Don’t we need to bail out the hedge funds now too? Oh, wait, we already did that for Bear Stearns, Citigroup, Morgan and Goldman – they were nothing but hedge funds anyway. Smart capital is supposed to flee from the losers, just like it did in this case.

2. I wonder if there’s anything meaningful to extrapolate out of the fact that twice as many people are Googling “Obama” as are Googling “McCain”.

3. Whenever the lying Republicans or the dishonest Democrats start talking about how bad each other’s budgets are for the deficit and taxes and stuff because the plans might cost “hundreds of billions” of taxpayer dollars…I simply wonder why the $2.25 trillion that they both stumped and voted for and that we just budgeted for bailing out Wall Street fits into that picture?
