  1. DOJ Trusts Wall Street To \u2018Police Itself\u2019 As It Takes A \u2018Softer Approach\u2019 To Corporate Crime<\/a> – Best government money can buy.<\/li>\n
  2. House Republicans Look To Push Lower Capital Standards For Banks In Through The Back Door<\/a> – Because why should we ever worry about banks undercapitalizing again? I mean, it’s been a couple of years now — I’m sure they’ve learned their lesson, after all.<\/li>\n
  3. Firefighter loses bid to sue over New York mosque | World | News | Toronto Sun<\/a> – Injury to the ability to commemorate? Crikey. If having a mosque a few blocks away damages your ability to commemorate the lives of your colleagues lost on 9\/11, I suggest you seek therapy, not a court injunction.<\/li>\n

  10. Feature: Leaks, riots, and monocles: how a $60 in-game item almost destroyed EVE Online<\/a> – Games are like societies writ intense. Screw with the economy, and folks get antsy, to say the least. Present them with a situation that seems unfair, and they will, metaphorically or literally, riot.<\/li>\n
  11. First Footage & Posters For \u2018Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows\u2019<\/a> – Woot!<\/li>\n
