<ul> Topping the sleaze charts:</p>
<li>Government officials got <a href="http://www.portfolio.com/news-markets/top-5/2008/06/12/Countrywide-Loan-Scandal">big loan discounts from Countrywide</a>.  &#8220;Friends of Angelo&#8221; included, who else, but the heads of congressional banking and finance committees.  Note - these folks voted for a government mortgage bailout plan, and no wonder - <a href="http://calculatedrisk.blogspot.com/2008/06/richardson-update-this-workout-smells.html">they&#8217;re getting foreclosed on</a>.</li>
<p>Voted &#8220;Best Value From Your Stimulus Check&#8221;:</p>
<li>To hell with <a href="http://michaelgracie.com/2008/06/12/in-2065-the-commerce-dept-will-begin-reporting-unit-sales/">retail purchases</a> - get &#8220;<a href="http://bigpicture.typepad.com/comments/2008/06/more-bang-for-t.html">more bang</a>&#8221; for your stimulus check dollar.  A new &#8220;core inflation&#8221; measure is just around the corner&#8230;ex food and energy and sexual favors.</li>
<p>And last and least:</p>
<li>A judge recuses himself from obscenity case over a purportedly obscene website, but it seems what was truly obscene was the <a href="http://lessig.org/blog/2008/06/the_kozinski_mess.html">media&#8217;s lack of fact finding standards</a>.  The media will continue to cry about the internet killing them, never understanding the simple truth - their product is for shit.</li>
