As I read the analysis’s of Laughner’s patchwork manifestos and cobbled-together, text based video blogs on the various news and opinion sites I frequent, I am struck both by how desperately the reasonable among us are trying to make sense of this rampage and how futile their efforts are. The only place the actions of Jared Laughner made sense was in his own deformed mind, and it is not unreasonable to suggest that they no longer make sense there either.

NBC Universal, Comcast Merge

One of the most common supporting arguments of mergers is that mergers create more efficient, more effective entities producing a better end product for its consumers. This argument defies basic logic when it comes to the motivation of a company. With a dominant market share of an industry, there is a seeming lack of external factors that would motivate firms to produce at their best.
