XBox: I used to work for a large insurance brokerage, Willis Corroon, and we wrote surety and insurance for FATCO (First American Title) and Chicago Title.

At first blush, I would imagine a loss like this would be covered by either their general or professional liability (Errors and Omissions) policy, depending on how the loss occurred. Or it would be covered under one of their surety programs, and by something like a fidelity bond or a financial guarantee bond. Can’t recall ever coming across something like this, but both FATCO and Chicago Title had extremely robust risk management, loss and insurance programs (which you’d expect, given the nature of their business).

Probably doesn’t answer your question, but I thought I’d take a whack at it.

afx: In the “Spread the Word” section (on McCain’s website), it features the Daily Kos! I wonder if that is an intentional attempt on McCain’s part to bridge the ideological divide, or simply more pandering.

I’d love to see McCain, Obama, Real Clear Politics and the Daily Kos duke it out over foreign policy, energy policy and the economy. That would be a debate worth watching. Throw in The Guardian and Commentary Magazine and make it a Battle Royale. Or cage fight.

Dan: In a straight up fist fight, Sam Peckinpah would have kicked Kurosawa’s a**. Kidding aside, he was a giant in film making. One of my favorite movies when I was a kid was “The Magnificent Seven” (and who among us doesn’t find themselves humming that theme song every so often?).

Kurosawa’s films include well drawn lines of right and wrong (“Rashomon”) and good and evil, but with a tremendous degree of nuance and moral ambiguity (“Yojimbo”), along with the Actonian dangers of power (“Ran”).

We should probably discuss favorite Westerns as well. And a discussion including the knock on effects of John Wayne on American foreign policy in the 1950s and 1960s.

Gary Larson’s cartoon about the “School for the Gifted” (kid pushing on a door marked “Pull”) is still among the funniest I have ever seen.
