I think the world is finally starting to see what's coming.  I think people -- even typically corrupt and/or stupid people like Paulson and Bush -- are starting to understand that the banking system may collapse and send us into a second Great Depression, and that more radical action has to be taken.

The headline over at MSNBC right now is downright Jeromeian: "Is this the end of American capitalism?"  Replace "American" with "Anglo," and you could've ripped that headline straight off a blog.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.
