Hello,
	There is a new post on The Volokh Conspiracy.  You can read it at:

It begins:

	Today the value of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have
	fallen about 16-18% in part because of new
	accounting rules that might force them to bring
	questionable off-balance sheet assets onto their
	books. This would leave them so undercapitalized
	that they would need to raise massive amounts of
	cash to avoid a huge government bailout....
