  3. WILLIAMS: Lessons from the bailout

    In my more cynical moments, I think we Americans deserve what we get from our politicians, many of whom can be generally described as nothing less than loathsome. You say, "Williams, that's a pretty heavy putdown." My question to you is how else would you describe these congressmen who are now blaming the financial mess on the failure of the free market? Starting with the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, that was given more teeth during the Clinton administration, Congress started intimidating banks and other financial institutions into making loans, so-called subprime loans, to high-risk homebuyers and businesses. The carrot offered was that these high-risk loans would be purchased by the government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Anyone with an ounce of brains would have known that this was a prescription for disaster but there was a congressional chorus of denial.

  14. Williams fool's gold in Week 6?

    Fantasy owners (and Chiefs defenders) were caught off guard by Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams' 148-total-yard, three-TD game last week. Since then, owners have put him under the microscope and are reconsidering his Fantasy value. In the process, they've seen that Williams rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns in his game at Tampa Bay last season. But before you go and start him, here's the footnote to that game: The game took place in Week 17, and Williams and the Panthers played a Bucs team with nothing to play for. As such, key defenders like Jermaine Phillips and Barrett Ruud were inactive and others like Derrick Brooks, Cato June, Kevin Carter and Chris Hovan were long gone after the first couple of series. Of the 121 yards Williams had, 42 were in the first half and both touchdowns came in the second half.

  15. Album: Lucinda Williams, Little Honey (Lost Highway)

    With last year's West, Lucinda Williams perhaps reached the high water mark of her career thus far, charting romantic disaster and bereavement with an unflinching eye and a big heart, and still finding room for her lustful swagger. On Little Honey, however, the tide appears to be ebbing somewhat, judging by the plethora of glum, dull songs which bring little insight or relief to their subjects. "Little Rock Star" is a leaden rocker cautioning some unnamed star about "buying more fame by cashing your chips in", "Well Well Well" a raggedy back-porch country-rocker about bad luck, "Circles & X's" a desolate recognition that a relationship is over, and "Jailhouse Tears" a lazily rendered duet with Elvis Costello. "Knowing" is slightly better, while "It's a Long Way to the Top" falls back on that least excusable of complaints, the hardship of the rock'n'roll life. By far the best songs are those her band Buick 6 inhabit most intimately, with Williams musing upon what to expect in the afterlife in "Heaven Blues", a ...
