ok, in reality I don't know anything about Bernake (Bush's nominee to replace Greenspan at the Fed), except for this that I just read:
Bernanke is former Fed board member; student of Great Depression
Bernanke continued his studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he received his doctorate four years later. His focus during his years in Boston were the underpinnings of the Great Depression and the losing ways of the city's beloved baseball team, the Red Sox.The former was his field of study; the latter an obsession he eventually shed. A Washingtonian of late, Bernanke recently switched his allegiance to the capital's baseball team, the Nationals.
Oh no, no, no, no, no... there is something deeply, deeply flawed in the soul of someone who was once a Red Sox fan and can switch alliances like this. Next thing you'll see him routing for the Yankees because that is where Wall St. is.-----
