Sooooo handsome....












Life is not an Ayn Rand novel, subby. The guys who rape you never look like what you want them to look like.

I don't know who Katie Kieffer, corporate heifer is, or what she gets paid to let criminal's shills paste her name to their greed propaganda but this is the most insufferable, 8th grade, mongoloidal, baseless, "there's no more rabbits to pull out of my ass", insultingly stupid twaddle I have ever read. And this slag might be a hit up in the executive suite when she's rutting for the ruling class, but she's a journalistic wet fart out here in the real world.

KyngNothing: That's awesome that they conducted those 3 year long investigations (and trials) in 4 days just to satisfy the OWS protestors, who are totally protesting about a single insider trading case.

And with huge sexual connotations! They're all doped up sex fiends trying to take away our freedoms! *gag*

Generation_D: funny, i dont recall us even prosecuting anybody for these crimes. fauxrage of the day from yet another idiot righty blog site.

Yea I have no idea what the article said, but this author...Katie, is pretty hot so I could ignore the crazy long enough to sex her.

"I don't know if any laws were broken, and I know it won't solve anything, but something bad happened and I want people I don't like to go to jail so I can feel better about it."

This is problem with the OWS protests, the sentiment is there, but the logic isn't.

The reason none of these people have gone to jail is because what they did was legal. Which is a policy stance that everyone can back, yet they are still stuck in the "Banks/Capitalism is bad!" Bit. Capitalism isn't bad or good, it's neutral. What determines how it's viewed is the way we regulate it.

There is a reason Marxist thought came out of the Industrial revolution.

Linoleum_Blownapart: You know what? Even if Wall Streets actions were technically not fraud, let's have a few trials to find out. And if the judges, lawyers, and juries are forced by the letter of the law to let the thieves go with all the money, let's light up those laws front and center so that Congress can be pressured into changing them.

Weaver95: maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. the question the OWS folks are asking though is SHOULD that sort of thing be legal in the first place...and the GOP would rather not discuss it.

You both came to the correct conclusion, but lack the best method of achieving the goal. The goal is to return to Glass-Seagal. You can not do that through putting people on show trials or just protesting general anger. Policy is most effectively made through the political process, not protesting.

The progressive movement of the late 1800's and early 1900's is the model for success, and it just happens to be eerily similar today's issues.

WTF Indeed: The reason none of these people have gone to jail is because what they did was legal. Which is a policy stance that everyone can back, yet they are still stuck in the "Banks/Capitalism is bad!" Bit. Capitalism isn't bad or good, it's neutral. What determines how it's viewed is the way we regulate it.

And a crowbar is just a handy tool to build with until I bust your f*cking head open with it and snag your wallet. Ah. ethics.

"ultimate bondage sex appeal"? Really?

English, motherfarker, do you speak it?

I notice republicans are huge "tough on crime" proponents when its a drug user or a protestor, but when its a white collar crime suddenly tough on crime isn't a big deal?

FlashHarry: yes, i would be ok with seeing the men who destroyed the lives of millions of people go to jail.

Given the context



is a much more appropriate reference.

Conflation Nation's motto: "What I fear, I create."

someone's projecting...

Holy shiat! That was my first though as well! Wallace Shawn is an investment banker?

Believe me, unless we kick these douchesockets to the curb, they'll find a way to get a cut from street crime, too and they'll be handing out guns to crackheads.

Cataholic: "I don't know if any laws were broken, and I know it won't solve anything, but something bad happened and I want people I don't like to go to jail so I can feel better about it."

well that describes the war on drugs....

No no no, Laws are broken in the war on drugs, the laws are just stupid. Its more of: "I dont know if there are any victims, and I know it won't solve anything, but something bad happened and I want people I don't like to go to jail so I can feel better about it."

good lord, fark will post anything eh? im sure there will be some thoughtful discourse to follow. and well done to wendy's chili for that sexy photo montage

She seems a little hung up on the whole "sex" thing. I don't want to tie her down to any one position, but plugging "How Sex Sells Socialism" makes it seem like she's come to a tortured relationship between Sex and politics that strains at the bindings of logic and good taste.

She starred out "Cum" out of the phrase "Summa Cum Laude". Yeah, I'm sure she'd be up for wild animalistic sex.

Linoleum_Blownapart: How was giving high risk debt a 'AAA' rating not fraud? How was using that rating to sell that debt not fraudulent? How was using the rating to buy the debt for your customers not a failure of due diligence and thus fraudulent? How is the revolving door between the big banks and the regulatory agencies not bribery?

I've been assured that this is all the fault of crafty poor people who managed to trick the naive, trusting moral bankers into making these bad loans.

timujin: Wendy's Chili: Sooooo handsome....


Life is not an Ayn Rand novel, subby. The guys who rape you never look like what you want them to look like.

A young female writer, overtaken by the wild call of laissez faire capitalism, might look upon the alpha males of her sect as being "handsome high rollers."

Or, in other words:

Whomever did that sketch or engraving or whatever it is has no idea how light works.

Car_Ramrod: FlashHarry: yes, i would be ok with seeing the men who destroyed the lives of millions of people go to jail.

that is insane. that black dude's story is pretty sad and the idea of 30 years is pretty damn ridiculous

I wonder what kind of ultimate bondage Ms. Kieffer is into.

I'd settle for their heads swinging from a short rope.

You people are busy talking about OWS!? Can't you read!?!??!

HERMAN CAIN'S BOOK! FREE! FREE! FREE!

It will look so good on my shelf next to my other intellectual reading: Going Rogue, the novelization of Caddyshack and Hop on Pop.

GAT_00: Diogenes: A recent Gallup poll reveals that most Americans blame the government, not Wall Street, for the economic downturn.

In the sense that the government allowed Wall Street to tank the economy, sure, I'd have to agree.

I doubt that's what they meant, but yeah. Wall Street couldn't have done what they did to our economy if government hadn't let them when Glass-Steagall got repealed.

Where exactly is the bright line between the government and the banking industry? The bank lobbyists write the laws for the legislators that they own to pass. Regulators at the SEC routinely go to work for the very institutions they are supposed to be policing and vice-versa in an endless revolving door. They are no longer separate entities.

keylock71: Wow... a right wing dumb blond.

I wonder how long before she starts working at Fox News?

Hey, if you're gonna be a whore may as well be a pretty one.
