As I discussed here and in a related post at Huffington Post, the Treasury Department on Monday organized a meeting between various Department officials and a group of economics and finance bloggers. For those who are interested, below are links to posts about the meeting (in no particular order) written by others who were there:

For Christ sakes: Yves gives bloggers a bad name.
Paulson et al took a 700 billion dollar cr@p in every American's living room, destroying the economy instead of letting the markets correct. That, by any idiot's definition is the meaning of: Not house trained.
Telling someone their regulations won't prevent massive cr@ps in our living rooms again, cr@ps so big that our grandkid's great grandkids will be left cleaning them up, isn't bad house manners it is telling it the way it is.
If you son't smack the dog with a rolled up paper and stick their nose in the stink they will continue to take dumps all over your house.

great meeting you, Michael - I feel like we shared a lot of common views. Hopefully something good will come out of all of this - although I fear the Ponzi Scheme of Confidence is destined to explode.
