See that guy in the photo standing next to me?

Really, Asshole?

So Surprised!

For years, a Congressional hearing with Alan Greenspan was a marquee event. Lawmakers doted on him as an economic sage. Markets jumped up or down depending on what he said. Politicians in both parties wanted the maestro on their side.

But on Thursday, almost three years after stepping down as chairman of the Federal Reserve, a humbled Mr. Greenspan admitted that he had put too much faith in the self-correcting power of free markets and had failed to anticipate the self-destructive power of wanton mortgage lending.

“Those of us who have looked to the self-interest of lending institutions to protect shareholders’ equity, myself included, are in a state of shocked disbelief,” he told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

This is rich.

To think there are many people whose job it is/was to just make money at all costs would actually somehow tank an industry because of greed is so shocking!

There ya go, believers. There you go.

Maybe?

I feel like the Raiders are going to win the AFC West and make the playoffs, after having fired Coack Lane Kiffin. Then they'll be forced to hire the replacement coach who they don't really want to be coaching the team.

We Should DEFINITELY...

Be worried about Reverend Wright.
