So there I was, minding my own business, driving home after a rough and tumble racquetball game. As always, I was listening to a vast-rightwing-conspiracy-talk-radio program, though exactly which one escapes me now.

Senator Chris Dodd has been caught with his hand out, taking campaign contributions from AIG executives, then crafting language that allowed AIG to grant the much maligned bonuses, then lying about his role in the formation of the TARP legislation. Thank God, the Washington Times is all over this mess with:
“EXCLUSIVE: AIG chiefs pressed to donate [...]

I’ve just finished watching a two-hour video dedicated to the proposition that world events are being controlled by an elite few concentrated in the shadow land of international banking and finance.

Here’s the proof that Treasury Secretary Geithner knew about the AIG bonuses a full week before he said he did. The significance of that?
