You think you understand AIG's story?
How could I say enough about this article about AIG I just read – it is the largest and most comprehensive one by far that I have read with hundreds of links to the original news sources. The author compiled news stories dating back to 1998 to present and creates a thorough time line of AIG's shenanigans that leaves one exhausted from the details. The article also makes heavy use of graphs and charts, as well as interesting graphics to complement the text. When you are done – you feel like you now know the whole story about AIG...

1930 s Great Depression Photo Essay
2 / 1
http://thejunction.net/justfacts/2009/03/17/1930s-great-depr...
One can see from the images that there is so little enthusiasm in the people and so much inconvenience and lines everywhere in order to obtain anything - food mostly. Despair would sum it up. Listen to FDR's 4 authentic fireside chats and see literally hundreds of images conveniently in a controllable slide application...

The frequent news today besides the bank failures and wall street greed is the demise of the newspaper industry - AS WE NOW KNOW IT !!!
Good god almighty - the conservative business leaders of the newspaper industry need to all go soak their heads enough to sober up and save themselves. There is an unconventional way...

The UBS Mental Recession Slipping into Mental Depression
1 / 0
http://thejunction.net/justfacts/2009/02/19/ubs-mental-reces...
Oh, those good ol’ boys...those juggernauts of the business world acute with their wisdom and core values at UBS. We’re taking direct aim at the Swiss investment group UBS ...You and Us, whose co-chairman Ex-GOP Senator and Chief Economic Advisor to John McCain - namely Phil Gramm enraged the American People with his non-chalant, yet vicious phraseology that the American People were experiencing a mere "mental recession"...
"We have sort of become a nation of whiners," he added. "You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline" despite a boom in exports? The worldwide economic chaos is as much attributed to UBS... You and Us, as it is joined at the hip to to Phil Gramm - UBS fondly embraced Phil Gramm’s financial house of ill repute with open arms.

America Reboots As G.O.P. Relegates Itself To Landfill
2 / 0
http://thejunction.net/justfacts/2008/11/america-reboots-gop...
Only a moronic cleric in denial could confuse the recent seismic shift in American politics with simply a different political perspective of the future. Not to be too intimidating to those that were on the outgoing GOP tide – ’Obamamatics’ brings to the table aggressive and proactive relief to many millions of truly suffering Americans that the Republicans simply ignored over the past 8 years. A violent revolution in the streets was thwarted, but a cataclysmic sea of change is gaining the momentum of a roaring locomotive fully loaded and racing downhill.

More GOP Jail Time - Alaska Senator Ted Stevens Convicted Of Lying
2 / 0
http://thejunction.net/justfacts/2008/10/more-gop-jail-time-...
Well… we said it here first when the story first broke broke Jul 29, 2008 - that Ted Stevens would be convicted of 7 counts of lying on Congressional financial statements, after reviewing the extensive evidence. The obnoxious longtime Republican Senator did NOT help himself being argumentative during his trial testimony. See our initial story here.

Will Ballot Initiatives Affect Voting in Battleground State Colorado
2 / 0
http://thejunction.net/justfacts/2008/10/will-ballot-initiat...
All things aside including Colorado state-wide new voter registration, efforts to get out the voters by each campaign and recent political polls, the intention here is to only examine the philosophy and political or other hidden agenda behind each ballot initiative.
Colorado has more ballot initiatives (14 total), on the November 2008 ballot than any time in the state’s history except 1912, when there were 22 initiatives before Colorado voters.
The 2008 ballot measures include 10 citizen sponsored initiatives and four legislative referrals

2 / 0
http://thejunction.net/justfacts/2008/10/alaska-trooper-gate...
She can run, but Sarah Palin can no longer hide. The GOP spin machine is revving up to christen Sarah Palin's ethics as we speak.
This GOP scandal certainly is par with previous GOP scandals of Larry Craig, Trent Lott, Jack Abramoff, Tom Delay, Scooter Libby, George W. Bush, Robert Ney, Newt Gingrich, Former Deputy Interior Secretary J. Steven Griles, Republican state Representative and Florida co-Chairman of McCain for President Campaign - Bob Allen, George Allen Jr. David Vitter, Ted Stevens, Pastor Ted Haggard, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Presidential Personal Aid - Karl Rove. See a very long and comprehensive wikipedia Republican Scandal list here. Review/download 263 page Trooper Gate report at end of this article.

Karl Rove’s Deceptive McCain Debate Strategy Backfires
2 / 0
http://thejunction.net/justfacts/2008/09/karl-roves-deceptiv...
If there ever was a topic McCain was suppose to command in the Presidential debates was Foreign Policy and McCain could not close the deal in the first debate with Barack Obama . This was McCain’s best shot at scoring significant points with Independent voters with his huge advantage of 26 years in Congress (21 of those years in the Senate), but he somehow found a way to miss the opportunity! Complete debate transcripts available to view/download at end of article.
