OT or maybe not — So if the Bush administration leaves office with a judgement against it in the visitor logs case, do they retain any ability to pursue an appeal (and withhold the logs in the meantime) after the 20th? Or does loss of the office somehow change the rules of standing for an appeal, or else somehow moot the outcome of same?

In a similar view as the opening post from ew, prof Cooper in a January 3 2009 post observes that the administration’s plan for all federal government branch websites is to erase them January 20, pursuant to Bush’s EO1333 (2001). See second item on that public policy page.

Good for saying that “In a world of stable real estate prices, SIV’s and CDO’s were relatively risk free”. These “professionals” should have known better than to allow these sales to go thru and pushing them thru. But and its a big but. Prices rose because of demand and demand was fueled by the notion that all people could afford to buy a house and should be able too. Many people can’t at this time, the financial literacy in this country abysmal and people go into the closing signing and initialing 50 sheets of paper all the while not reading any of them and not understand what they are doing. Understanding would have averted most of the economic crisis we are now under. People may have been urged and pushed and blah blah blah but ultimately they signed the papers, said they understood and now complain that they were taken advantage of. Same with credit cards, come on, don’t use what you don’t understand. Always strive to understand, learning doesn’t end when you complete what ever schooling you stop at. Of course there are special circumstances that took place but on the whole I believe many people shot themselves in the foot.

All this transparency is getting sort of exciting.

A pity we didn’t get it about 2 years ago.

Well, we coulda had a chance 2 years ago, but a certain someone kept insisting that a certain something was “off the table.”

Sure was a lonely table these last two years…
