Quotable Quotes
"The House of Representatives has shown a catastrophic failure of leadership. Monday’s vote, rejecting Hank Paulson’s admittedly imperfect plan to add liquidity, transparency and perhaps a little capital to the banking system, was shameful. It was a triumph of political expediency over the needs of the nation. The signal was that congressmen would rather save their seats than do what it takes to keep the US payments system functioning. The vote was reversed on Friday but the message cannot be unsaid."
Financial Times editorial
The leading British financial newspaper was making its point in an editorial published on Saturday.

    We work strenuously to bring our readers a completely independent perspective of Denver news. Our software programmers, editors, journalists and affiliated wire services are all dedicated to producing the best journalism possible.

    This in a world where conflicts of interest pervade business empires, and political dynasties, and where a shrinking number of media proprietors are growing their interests at the expensive of diversity of media ownership. The Denver Sun is an independent online newspaper. Our focus primarily is to produce the latest breaking stories out of Denver.

    We also cover the nation. Regional news too is a priority, as is our extensive world news coverage. For a Denver weather report, local news, breaking international headlines, or what's happening in sports, the Denver Sun is for you.

    Our Business Centre too is active 24 hours a day, bringing you the latest market updates from key global centres like Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. Foreign exchange rates are a regular feature, and we provides a vast range of general interest news covering topics like business travel, seniors, womens interest, and lifestyle stories.
