I Have to Straighten Up the House For a Party

This is a pretty good read about debt-driven consumerism in Chile.

This cartoon sums up the insanity of our present anti-recession policies (borrow money to give to the banks to grant more loans to over-extended borrowers, and hope that the banks don't just cover their existing bad loans with it).

This is a hilarious assault on Tom Friedman's efforts to play at being an environmentalist.

This is a decent summary of an economy in free-fall.
