Back from holiday break

Here are some good (but looooooong) articles about the financial crisis on the NYT. I'll provide breaks for my readers =)

1. The End of the World as we know it.

2. Break

3. How to repair the financial system.

4. Break, the discordian influence that seems to be more prominent in my life recently rejoices in the fact this this man will probably be the next US Senator from MN.

5. Last and longest. Warning: not for the jargon and density faint of heart, but it's worth it if you stick it out.
