FROM GEORGE URE:

Don't Bother with the Obvious

I think I was a major market news exec too long. I tend to look at the 'flow of news' as something akin to a large Vegas-style sleight of hand show. While folks' attention is turned elsewhere, the real story is likely to be going on somewhere else. Seen it many times.

,Still, it's with that kind of 'matters little' attitude - not to mention that the linguistics over at www.halfpasthuman.com indicate that the specific winner of the election doesn't matter much to the ultimate outcome of things (like the summer of hell in 2009) - that I choose to sit back with a wider view and see what the BIG stories are that as sliding under the radar, preoccupying the talking heads on the Cyclops, while the grand distraction is played out.

Turns out, you don't have to look very far.

The story that should be pushing for equal footing with the presidential contest is work that the "U.S. mulls expanding 'rescue' to more firms" as the Treasury and Fed team up with new ways to pump money into the 'walking dead' consumer economy.
