Too Big to Fail....



... Too Big to Exist*.


There's a simple solution to the "too-big-to-fail" problem: Break up those huge financial institutions.

Now is the time to act, when the failing financial corporations should be dissected into parts that support main street, and the speculative parts should be allowed to fail.

START, by Signing the petition to Congress:

Then, take to the streets:

On Saturday April 11, A New Way Forward will lead protests all across the country to demand these changes. Find one near you:

And if you're in New York City on Friday April 3, join the National March on Wall Street:

* If an entity needs to be too big to fail, then it should be tightly chartered and regulated like a utility.

Dear Yahoo: Windows Vista Adds are Annoyance

Dear Yahoo:

The Vista adds embedded in your Yahoo News are very disruptive; perhaps you've noticed. They splash themselves across the page, with no obvious way to close them. Clicking on a part of the page that doesn't appear to be part of the add then opens another window. It seems emblematic of the monopolistic practices of Microsoft to take control of my news-browsing experience.

Please do what you can to undo this problem.
