    Hmm..when a Republican (SEE: Wide Stance Larry Craig) gets arrested for soliciting (soliciting gay sex, nonetheless) he amazingly can still hold his job!!! The media investigates that it was a possible set up and shit even. Happens to it immediately and the media responds "Spitzer must step down!"

    Funny how that works. That in no way excuses SPitzer's behavior and he should step down. But this whole thing is fishy to me..as soon as the NY State Attorney General launches a big probe into Wall Street, the Governor, long known to go after Wall Street Fat Cats, gets taken down from an investigation that smells of political motivations...Spitzer was stupid for putting himself in jeopardy for this and needs to step down, but this stinks of political motivations of the highest level.

    "Regulatory capture is a form of government failure that occurs when a regulatory agency, created to act in the public interest, instead advances the commercial or political concerns of special interest groups that dominate the industry or sector it is charged with regulating.[1] When regulatory capture occurs, the interests of firms or political groups are prioritized over the interests of the public, leading to a net loss to society as a whole. Government agencies suffering regulatory capture are called "captured agencies"."

    • It's nice that this thread is miscellaneous.
      The other general threads like blog, test and science seem more specific
