Vuvuzelas, Afghanistan, and Fannie and Freddie

Updates on some previous posts:

• Some broadcasters are filtering the dreaded vuvuzela.

• More home filtering advice for the vuvuzela (ht: Alex and Jeff)

• Yankee fan gets booted for blowing his vuvu (money quote: “I have been tossed from [Yankee Stadium] hundreds of times. Many times I even deserved it. … But this was ridiculous.”

• Afghanistan’s new minerals may be worth $3 trillion (well, in gross terms) (ht: Zach)

• Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac get delisted from the NYSE (Last August I questioned why their common shares were trading at $2.04 and $2.40 per share respectively when they seemed worthless; today they closed at $0.43 and $0.51. Too bad I never figured out how to short them.)
