    The article, for your perusing and pondering pleasure. The Buzz’s Final Thought: Michael Vick willfully broke the law and paid the price for doing so.

    As the banks, the car manufacturers and the other birds of the nest strain for their morsel of the stimulus package, The Buzz can’t help but wonder about the basics of business and the spirit of a capitalist economic system.
