Sure, there are probably whittlers who could take a log, go after it with a knife for a couple of days and come back with a fair representation of a bobcat or Jefferson Davis. And yet, it's still whittling.

Good Bank, Bad Bank; Good Plan, Better Plan
1 February 2009 by DanGood Bank, Bad Bank; Good Plan, Better Plan
This is a good spin on the "bad bank" idea. But what I don't understand is why we need a bad bank at all. I thought the whole point of a bad bank would be to enable new capital investment in banks by clearing out their balance sheets. Well, the banks already received the new capital investment -- TARP funds. Why do they need to get the bad assets off of their balance sheets? They've got their new capital. Now, just hang on to the bad assets and liquidate them over the next several years, possibly at a profit -- just like the bad bank would do! What am I missing?

I live in a great neighborhood
1 January 2009 by DanFrom my neighborhood mailing list:
A beautiful start to the New Year on Ireland Drive Carriage Trail!
An anonymous good neighbor placed this sign on a stick with a rake on the trail about 2 weeks ago. It began on the county part of the trail from Jones Mill Rd. Volunteers each raked a section. Today all the leaves are raked from the foot bridge over Rock Creek all the way to the top of the trail near Linden Lane.
Bravo for a great idea and to all of us who participated.
Let's do this every year.
