Economics of Contempt: Stay Classy, JPMorgan
http://economicsofcontempt.blogspot.com/2011/05/stay-classy-jpmorgan.html
Thoughts on, inter alia, finance, economics, and politics. Tuesday, May 10, 2011. Stay Classy, JPMorgan. Posted by Economics of Contempt. Oh god, I see that JPMorgan is already resorting to scare-mongering on Basel III’s new Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), which I’ve discussed. JPMorgan’s corporate treasurer, Joe Bonocore, warned last week. There will likely be negative market and economic consequences if regulators don’t modify the liquidity rules, he said. Wait, the LCR is going to hurt muni bonds.

CalgaryGrit: McGuinty's Majority Move
http://calgarygrit.blogspot.com/2012/05/mcguintys-majority-move.html
Tuesday, May 01, 2012. As I wrote on election night last fall. The line between majority and minority isn’t as rigid as it’s often made out to be. When the margin is this thin, one case of appendicitis can tip the scales and change the course of history. On Friday, Dalton McGuinty proved how fluid that majority line is, by appointing veteran PC MLA Elizabeth Witmer as the chair of the WSIB, setting the stage for an all in by election in Kitchener-Waterloo, and hundreds of battle of Waterloo metaphors.

On the other hand, it is.

Sarah Palin Sexism Watch. Wednesday, October 15, 2008. The looking up her skirt photos.

Wednesday, October 15, 2008. I too have noticed that photo. Disgusting. If you send a ...

CalgaryGrit: Happy Anniversary!
http://calgarygrit.blogspot.com/2012/05/happy-anniversary.html
Wednesday, May 02, 2012. One year ago today. Stephen Harper turned an "unwanted election" into his first majority government, Jack Layton and the NDP soared to never before seen heights, and Liberals spent the evening curled up in a fetal position sobbing in the corner. On political anniversaries, it's tempting to give each party a thumbs up or thumbs down, but the past year has been less clear cut, as the major parties try to figure out where they fit in Canada's new political dynamic. While none of tho...
