Not my usual headline style, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to type 11/11/11, since it will never come again. Now, the news:
- Italy’s playboy politician exits (WashPost) — At least their scandals are more interesting.
- Greece swears in unity coalition (BBC) — Bringing an end to political wrangling.
- Markets Rally as Italy and Greece Move on Austerity (NYT) — Good to know.
- SEC disciplined employees over Madoff probe (WashPost) — That’s for failing to stop him for years and years.
- State revenue to grow by nearly $1 billion (The State) — This is a day old, but it’s important, and I didn’t have it last night.
- USC halfway to its fundraising goal of $1 billion (thestate.com) — Knowing the state will share little of its billion with higher education, USC goes out and gets its own. God Bless the Child that’s got his own…
Since USC has racked up a half-billion dollars in debt, they might want to start thinking about paying some of their bills with that money.
