Is anyone listening. I welcome our new Christian Science overlord. I won't make any negative comments against him After all apparently he believes in global warming and love nature so he must be great.
PS: I may need a VISA to work in the states sometime so forgive my lack of objectivity.

From that Wikipedia link:
| Quote: | | There has been some criticism of Paulson, with suggestions that Paulson's plan may potentially have some conflicts of interest. This since Paulson is the former CEO of Goldman Sachs, a firm that may benefit from the plan. |
Besides, he's got weird eyes. Kind of scares me.

Just so you know who he's looking out for:
| Quote: | China is regarded as a more reliable partner, with a greater desire for global stability. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson has intimate relations with the Chinese elite, dating from his days at Goldman Sachs when he visited the country over 70 times.
Brad Setser, from the US Council on Foreign Relations, said the Chinese have a stake in upholding Fannie and Freddie, not least to ensure that their loans are "honoured on time and in full". |

Is something wrong with one of his pinkies? I was watching him on the idiot box and this pinky looked all bent out of shape, like maybe he'd hit it with a, oh, I don't know, Hammer perhaps?
Seem to recall that tweaked fingers like that were also characteristic of the malevolent aliens on the X-Files...
