Roll the dice

So in the continuing saga of the US economy, Henry C K Liu disects the US housing bubble and why the coming meltdown is all the fault of Alan Greenspan.

And in keeping with US insanity risk-taking, scientists in the US are considering releasing a GMO mosquito that would resist malaria and overtake malaria-prone mosquitos. Wanna bet how well the side effects of that experiment will be planned and will play out?

Of course sometimes, when you take a risk, you get caught, as our good friends at Chicita Banana found recently when it was discovered that they had been illegally funding right-wing Columbian paramilitaries (and a few left wing groups) to the tune of almost $2 million. Apparently, the funding payments "were reviewed and approved by senior executives of the corporation, to include high-ranking officers, directors and employees."
