At 5:00 PM Eastern today, the treasury will finally release their “Stress Test” results. Not to belabor this, but you should largely ignore them.
From the Wall Street Journal:
Results of the government’s stress tests of the nation’s largest 19 banks started to trickle out Wednesday, highlighting the burgeoning gaps between the industry’s strong and weak [...]
ADMIN: Yeah, I know today’s post title doesn’t rhyme with the others — but here’s a quick test of your own nit-pickiness: did the difference between Monday’s title and the rest of the week bother you?

I was startled a few days ago to see this blog show up in Google as being potentially harmful (e.g., “this site may harm your computer”). As it turns out, we’d been the victims of an exploit in WordPress (my fault for not having upgraded to WP 2.5 sooner).
As a result, we backed up the [...]
Having taken about 15 months to get to the 100,000-hit mark — and reaching that largely due to our coverage of the San Diego fires in October 2007 — we’ve now reached the 150,000-hit mark in just 3 months. I’d like to think that it’s due to the quality and mix of our entries here.
However, [...]
