Bono is a pretentious git who uses pseudo-religiosity to sell records to post-moderns desperately longing to be cool and seem Christian at the same time.

The concentration of economic / financial power on Wall Street / London /Europe just grows daily. It may look like a financial crisis from down on the pavement but from the some 39th floors it looks real good. If you seek the author of a crime the Ciceronian rhetoric goes, look to see who benefits. Well the Titans of the Financial World got just that little bigger and often with funds supplied

Spencer Platt/Getty Images I didn't realize that Bono (a.k.a. the king of Ireland ) had been blogging last week for the Financial Times about the U.N.'s Millenium Development Goals. Turns out the U2 frontman is something of a long-winded fella, though one can find some interesting tidbits amid the filler. For instance, he offers some sound investment advice here at a time of financial crisis: As I...

Hunter in the Daily Kos (HTP: my brother) says that the $700 billion rescue plan has no relation to the (much smaller) likely amount of mortgage defaults; instead, it's designed to prop up the derivatives scam that banks have been running for years. I've thought recently that the bankers and traders are, in effect, being offered absolution without confession (1), restitution (2), doing penance (3)...

Photo: Platt/Getty Even though U2 are still hard at work on an album, Bono spent the week on altruism. He split time between visiting the United Nations General Assembly and hanging with Al Gore at the annual Clinton Global Initiative. It was a great week for team-ups, in fact: Neil Young, Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and [...]
