As I've said repeatedly - a major failing of Labour is in not changing the dialogue about poverty and redistribution.

All together now, "Awwwwwww"

As such you can trawl and make initial contact without having to pay if you want, although you get rather better and more tunable search options if you do. Of course I am now showing the bias of someone who succeeded, but I think my four months' subs may prove to be the best £80 I spent in a long time.]

Date: 2010-04-28 02:09 pm (UTC)I don't blog about _everything_.
I didn't talk about the adventures of our squad of Inquisition members on board a Space Hulk last night at all!
And I mostly don't talk about work.
In fact, it largely seems to be amusing pictures of cute animals and lolcanos.

Date: 2010-04-28 03:06 pm (UTC)I get about 2 and a half hours of gaming per week at the moment. Which is not enough in some ways, but actually perfect in others, considering how busy I seem to be.

(from article, my emphasis)
bit different to what your headline says....

Date: 2010-04-28 03:02 pm (UTC)Though 'CDO' may not be quite as general a blanket term for packaged debt that I think it is, in which case maybe it's not such a major point, but see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateralized_debt_obligation
Of course, other products that are described as CDOs may well be individually dodgy in their very own special ways... but that's not what the article you linked to was specifically pointing to.
