Scum always rises to the top......

Heh heh imagine the silly people who voted for "change". We replaced one gang with another.

All bought and paid for.

Oh, it will not change in our lifetimes. Sure is fun to bitch about it, though.

Want real change?

Quit doing business with these banks and Wall Street quick buck guys.

Use a credit union. Or cash!

The Automatic Earth: May 7 2009 2: Truth is irrelevant

One more employer who needs to check on one of his employees is Barack Obama. You see, Mr. President, Steve Friedman resigned today as Chairman of the New York Fed. He did so because the Wall Street Journal recently found out that he made millions on illegal purchases of Goldman stock, behind the veil of a waiver bestowed on him by then New York Fed President Tim Geithner. If you would like to find out exactly how illegal all this was, just ask Friedman why he resigned. And once you have the answer, tell Geithner to publicly explain his role in Friedman's millions.

Oh, and while you're busy providing the transparency we can believe in, make sure to give Andrew Cuomo a call and demand he start an investigation and, if he finds any wrongdoing, prosecute Friedman to make sure he's held accountable to the full extent of the law, no matter what that may mean for your Treasury Secretary. The only society people can possibly believe in is one in which the law is upheld. Anything else is just a hugely expensive waste of time. Like all the rescues and bail-outs to date in your first hundred plus days, and those muddy water stress debacles.
