Matt Taibbi on how Goldman Sachs has engineered every major market manipulation since the Great Depression
In Rolling Stone Issue 1082-83, Matt Taibbi takes on "the Wall Street Bubble Mafia" &#8212; investment bank Goldman Sachs.

If the president wants an energy policy that creates jobs while protecting the environment, one state holds the answer: California
For the Bush administration, saving energy was not only a fool's game &#8212; it was a threat to the American way of life. "Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue," former vice president Dick Cheney declared in 2001, "but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy."

The Democratic nominee for president talks about how George W. Bush screwed up, why John McCain turned ugly and what he's learned from Bill Clinton.
It's the morning after the vice presidential debate, and Barack Obama strides onto the football field at Abington Senior High School in suburban Philadelphia as Bruce Springsteen's "The Rising" rings out over the loudspeakers. The bleachers on both sides of the field are packed with cheering students and their parents, and the crowd has spread out onto the lawns beyond the goal posts.

Will the GOP's campaign to deter new voters and discard Democratic ballots determine the next president?
&#8226; Video: Behind the Story With Kennedy Jr. and Palast
These days, the old west rail hub of Las Vegas, New Mexico, is little more than a dusty economic dead zone amid a boneyard of bare mesas.
