Or so says Fed chief Ben Bernanke, declaring that another round of frenzied government spending might be necessary to keep the economy afloat because the most recent round of frenzied government spending – i.e. the Fed floating $600 billion in so-called “quantitative easing” a.k.a.

Send us a youtube link of your favorite tunes (editor@pundithouse.com) and we’ll work them into the mix. This is John Lennon. Enjoy.

Announces it on Twitter, no less, from the looks of this morning’s tweet from Union County DA John Synder: Excited to announce Marsha Goodenow joining my team of prosecutors!
