Feb 11, 2010 Object
A year ago, MarketWatch economist Irwin Kellner proposed an unconventional idea to jump-start the U.S. economy, and it was scoffed at and largely ignored by Washington and Wall Street. Too bad, because if it was used, perhaps the U.S. unemployment rate would be half what it is today.

Avast, Ye Scurvy Dogs! America’s Cup Hijacked By Lawyers, Billionaires
The 33rd America’s Cup taking place this week in Valencia, Spain, already seems destined to be remembered as one of the most vicious and brutal sporting events in history.

In the process, they have driven away sponsors and fans: The 2007 race attracted more than $200 million in sponsorship money, but the 2010 has pulled in just $11 million.
