AM-NY, the free paper of NYC started very hip, mellowed down considerably with success but occasionally flashes its brilliance. Since they son’t have a weekend edition, they didn’t get the chance to weigh on the
“mine is bigger than yours” incident (see last pic), so they did it today and it was worth it
The article that goes with it is mostly good too – and I think it represents the views of people beyond NYC as well

You’re right. This may be the best cover ever. It’s certainly a contender.

Sorry OT, but very interesting.
HT to Katalusis blog.
Lynn Sweet at the Sun Times, reports that Obama has brought with him to the nation’s capitol a startling number of old friends from Chicago’s 51st Ward:
WASHINGTON — It’s a Tuesday in June, and I am in one of the high-ceiling big rooms of the old office building next to the White House.
As I look around the room at the players assembled here — including this scribe — I’m thinking that with a few twists of fate, this all-Chicago gang could be huddling in Mayor Daley’s City Hall.
It’s not terribly reassuring to be reminded of the Chicago influence on the guy steering the ship during a global financial meltdown and rising concerns about health care reform. And there probably aren’t any direct links from Chicagoland to what’s happening on Wall Street these days as described by Robert Kuttner’s recent piece at Huffpo:
The New York Times recently reported that the latest scheme–or scam–on Wall Street is something called High Frequency Trading. Very sophisticated financial firms, such as Goldman Sachs, are tipped off by the New York Stock Exchange’s own computers to pending buy and sell orders. Armed with ultra sophisticated computer algorithms, the insiders anticipate the direction of the market based on what they learn about supply and demand for a given security. They can make an extra penny here and an extra penny there at the expense of us suckers, adding up to billions.
“Nearly everyone on Wall Street is wondering how hedge funds and large banks like Goldman Sachs are making so much money so soon after the financial system nearly collapsed,” wrote the Times’ Charles Duhigg in a front page piece that was the talk of New York and Washington. “High-frequency trading is one answer.”
