Lars and Jens Rasmussen were broke and jobless -- with only $16 between them -- when they made it big in the Web world by selling their idea for Google Maps.

Years later, after finding cushy employment at Google Inc., the Rasmussen brothers flew in May from Sydney, Australia, to California where they would debut their sophomore product, a Web application called Google Wave, which they say, quite audaciously, will kill e-mail and forever change online communication.

It seems shameful to me that I am in my third month in this blog and haven't yet posted a song by the mighty Kinks.  I could run a blog run solely on Kinks, Sparks, and Beach Boys songs, my personal trifecta.

I am working freelance now, which is a rather unique way to say that I am unemployed.  Yay!  Finances are tight but it never was a flowing river to begin with.  And when it comes to song of being broke there's few better bands to turn to than the Kinks.  The LA Times had a great article a few months back about this very subject:  http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2008/10/obama-station.html  So as I enter a new recessionized phase where I scrounge to pay the bills it's time to sit back and crank the truthful prose of the Ray Davies and the Kinks.

pay close attention to what rep. paul kanjorski of pennsylvania says from about 2:20 onwards...

On Thursday Sept 15, 2008 at roughly 11 AM The Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the USA to the tune of $550 Billion dollars in a matter of an hour or two.

Money was being removed electronically. The treasury tried to help with $150 Billion.  But could not stem the tide. It was an electronic run on the banks.

The treasury intervened but had they not closed down the accounts they estimated that by 2 PM that afternoon. Within 3 hours. $5.5 Trillion would have been withdrawled and collapsed and within 24 hours the world economy.
