It isn't every day when you find a job opening that requires 'willful retardation' as a required skill. AJC is looking for a replacement for the role of "conservative columnist", currently played by Jim Wooten. The bullet-point list of selection criteria are ripe for satire. I might post a 'corrected' version tomorrow. |

The news is a bit old, but it seems there's an uprising at FDA. It will be fun to see which products should never have been released in the first place. My guess is 8/10 pharmaceutical products and medical devices released since 2000. |

Breaking the Banks (in a good way), or Just Another Swindle?
The same governor who wrote himself a (retroactive) $100k state income tax break, has floated a $21 million, 6-month farm credit loan, on $4 million in assets. Now, given the state of banking lately, this may well be less of a swindle than reported. Nobody is getting this kind of deal on credit anymore, and that's because the banks (what's left of them) are too busy gorging themselves on federal dollars to worry about silly things like "lending". It may well be that Gov. Perdue took out that deal, to replace lost/delayed operating income on the leading edge of this recession. If so, then March should bring some interesting reading. |
