Here are links I found interesting on November 28, 2011:
- Do Burzynski and dodgy behaviour go hand in hand? – It really isn't a good idea to threaten high school bloggers.
- Ducks are nuthin’ but trouble – Apparently, it's not just high school kids that the Burzynski clinic is threatening.
- Stanislaw, Streisand and Spartacus – More links to blog posts reporting on the Burzynski clinic's threats to a high school blogger.
- Threats from The Burzynski Clinic – Wow. The Stanislaw Burzynski Clinic is threatening a U.K. high school student for sharing his opinion of the place in his blog.
- Fliers Still Must Turn Off Devices, but It’s Not Clear Why – A good point here: "Surely if electronic gadgets could bring down an airplane, you can be sure that the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration, which has a consuming fear of 3.5 ounces of hand lotion and gel shoe inserts, wouldn’t allow passengers to board a plane with an iPad or Kindle, for fear that they would be used by terrorists."
- This year, I am keeping CHRIST in CHRISTmas! – A fun read, but not at all what you probably expect.
- Judge Blocks Citigroup Settlement With S.E.C. – "A federal judge in New York on Monday threw out a settlement between the Securities and Exchange Commission and Citigroup over a 2007 mortgage derivatives deal, saying that the S.E.C.’s policy of settling cases by allowing a company to neither admit nor deny the agency’s allegations did not satisfy the law." Could it be? A judge who is both reasonable and has the best interest of the American people at heart? I'd vote for him.
- Secret Fed Loans Gave Banks $13 Billion – "The Federal Reserve and the big banks fought for more than two years to keep details of the largest bailout in U.S. history a secret. Now, the rest of the world can see what it was missing." Read about it.
- Groupon Snafu Leads Baker to Produce 102,000 Cupcakes – Another Groupon horror story indeed.
