#4 remember that the Dem Convention will be held in Charlotte, NC. The ascension of Emperor Obama to Dem Prez renominee will take place at Bank Of America Stadium there. That is already getting flack. I suspect this is an attempt to buy some concessions from the "I hate BofA/1%" crowd using somebody else's money

#5 "Combat Climate Change:" = let's spend money to wreck what's working in the energy industry in the US, but hope the people working in it are still able to send in their monthly mortgage checks and credit card payments.

#6 Two words -
FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY
In the handling of money and when one acts as a corporate or individual trustee, there is a fiduciary responsibility owed to the principal party. It is defined as a relationship imposed by law where someone has voluntarily agreed to act in the capacity of a "caretaker" of another's rights, assets and/or well being. The fiduciary owes an obligation to carry out the responsibilities with the utmost degree of "good faith, honesty, integrity, loyalty and undivided service of the beneficiaries interest." The good faith has been interpreted to impose an obligation to act reasonably in order to avoid negligent handling of the beneficiary's interests as well the duty not to favor ANYONE ELSE'S INTEREST (INCLUDING THE TRUSTEES OWN INTEREST) over that of the beneficiary. Further, if the agent should find him/herself in a position of conflicting interests, the agent must disclose the dual agency (acting for two parties at the same time) or risk being accused of constructive fraud in regards to both or either principals.
The lot of the board and operators should be sacked.

#8 I'm sure that if you read the fine print, they'll spend this 50 billion over the next 50,000 years.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
