That's a scary number of Dick Fulds.
A bakers number of dicks...YIKES!
Thank God Halloween comes every year. After all, there aren't too many ways for our culture to vilify it's latest batch of villains and evil doers quite like Halloween.
I particularly dread the 4 year cycle of major silly seasons, when not only must I see various political faces plastered wherever the eye turns but I must also contend with them showing up on my door step extorting candy from me.
Why don't we combine Halloween with Thanksgiving. May I suggest we place plastic masks of our favorite person-to-hate on the Thanksgiving turkey as we stuff it and again as we serve it. Considering how much they stuff us, it's only fair we get some payback.
Please remember to remove the plastic mask before placing your turkey in the oven. We don't want a fire to ruin your holiday.
"Honey, it was Lloyd Blankfien and Goldman Sachs gang...they picked my pockets, lifted my wallet, stole my identity, wrecked our pension fund, served an eviction notice to vacate our home by midnight, and bit my arm off. I yelled for help to some passing G-men, but they pulled off their government masks and said "Trick or treat, you miserable taxpayer. We're part of the Goldman Sachs gang."

Trick or Treat
Federal Reserve Policy Audit Legislation ‘Gutted,’ Paul Says

This should come as absolutely no surprise.
Fuck 'em all.
I think we need to come to the conclusion that auditing the MAFIA serves no purpose.
Roll this back to 1912, and forget we ever heard of Woodrow Wilson.....and Col House his alter ego..
Its only in sub committee now, they get first pass. Still, it is not good news, but wholly expected.
After all here is the Chair of that subcommittee...Mel Watt
WASHINGTON - Ralph Nader says Rep. Mel Watt used the f-word during an "outburst" against him last month and, on Tuesday, the independent presidential candidate said he's asked for an apology.
Watt, a six-term Democrat from Charlotte, would not personally comment on the charge Tuesday, but his spokeswoman denied that he used the obscenity and called Nader's charge that he did "a fabrication."In the letter, Nader wrote that his meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus ended "with the obscene racist epithet repeated twice by Yale Law School alumnus Congressman Melvin Watt of North Carolina." Then, at the bottom of the letter, Nader attached what he says "are the exact words of Congressman Watt's loud remarks, as heard by all in the meeting room without anyone admonishing him."
The alleged remarks:
"Congressman Watt: You're just another arrogant white man -- telling us what we can do -- it's all about your ego -- another f *** ing arrogant white man."
Asked Tuesday whether Watt used the f-word, his House spokeswoman, Melissa Williamson, said, "No, he did not. He wanted to make sure his staff knew that he did not cuss at all. That's a fabrication."
That denial brought more strong words from Nader.
"He said it, shouting. It reflects on his character," Nader told the Observer. "If he didn't say it, would he be hiding behind a spokeswoman? ... I was stunned (to hear Watt say it) -- a man of his accomplishments has to resort to those kind of obscene epithets? He should argue the case -- he's a lawyer. This was an eruption and I want to put a stop to it. He's not going to play the race card with me."
Cummings could not be reached for comment Tuesday. But Candice Tolliver, spokeswoman for the Congressional Black Caucus, said she attended the meeting with Nader "and I did not hear that (f-word from Watt). Unequivocally, I did not hear that. Mel Watt did not say that."
Nader's spokesman, Kevin Zeese, said he was equally sure he did hear it and sent the Observer an e-mail with notes he said he took during the meeting. "I'm glad he's too embarrassed to admit it," Zeese said about Watt.
The Nader group tried to tape-record the meeting, but members of the caucus objected.
Just his trying to gut the bill makes my own silent epithet
about him ring true in my own mind, and carries a great deal more venom.

Pitch forks and torches it is. They had their chance to end this peacefully....

Next up on amateur hour, Zerohedge sings!
well at least the blogging is world class...
(Why does everyone with a new website suddenly think they're a major media company? Radio... cartoons... Hey how about a Zerohedge sitcom?)
sigh... The cartoons weren't even well drawn.
