The Era of Ponzi Scandals
Jan 1st, 2009 by Jennifer Lynn
During the conclusion of an outlandish year, it seemed appropriate to escort in the New Year with a leap second, added to atomic clocks worldwide at 23:59:60 to compensate for slowing in the Earth’s rotation and prolonging 2008 for a precious moment longer – which you may not be aware of if you’re just waking from a long winter’s nap.
It was fun to relish that second and roar in merriment last night
“5, 4, 3, 2, 1 …. 1…. Happy New Year!”
With financial scandals cascading through Wall Street and the economy, is 2009 destined to be just as wacky?
