POPSSquare Enix's Next Fantasy: Owning Tecmo 'Tis the season for videogame industry consolidation. Analysts and industry experts continue to point out that that's the theme in the current growth cycle. Big companies will continue to snap up little companies (allowing more indies and veteran-helmed start-ups to flourish) for the foreseeable future. I personally don't spend much time following the Japanese market (outside a few key players of course), but from a snap judgment assessment, it seems like a good pairing. It would give Square Enix's limited portfolio of games outside the role-playing genre a boost, and it would also provide a safety net for Tecmo, which recently lost its rock star Tomonobu Itagaki ("Ninja Gaiden"). The real question: Is Tecmo worth acquiring sans-Itagaki?

POPSCheney Aide getting Global Warming Portfolio at Energy? "The result: One of the most ardent opponents of government regulation within the government would be put in a key decision-making position where global warming policies are set. Said Jason K. Burnett, who as a deputy associate administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency tangled with Hutto over global warming until leaving the government: "I can't think of a case where Chase advocated more environmental or health protections." As for placing Hutto in the Energy Department at this late date, the Post, quoting Francesca Grifo of the Union of Concerned Scientists, notes: "In coming months, Hutto could make policy decisions that the next administration would find difficult to reverse quickly.""

POPSLockheed and Nanotech Further evidence of the government's interest in nanotech. As we noted here (http://www.forbes.com/businessinthebeltway/2008/07/24/nanotechnology-altair-nanphase-biz-wash-cz_atg_0724nano.html) Uncle Sam, for its fiscal 2009, is set to spend $1.5 billion to nanotech on nanotech (mostly research). The Department of Defense accounts for 28 of that money.

POPSNo Tax Increase Needed for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid... If Congress were to act responsibly (yes, an oxymoron), it would hold down the growth of spending, as was done in the late 1980s and late 1990s, and eliminate those government programs that do not meet a reasonable cost-benefit test. As has been shown before, such actions would quickly eliminate the deficit.
