Locking the Barn Door After the Horse Is Gone

By Fact-esque

That's the specialty-of-the-house in the Bush Age.

A Wall Street consortium led by Goldman Sachs managing director E. Gerald Corrigan recommended new standards Wednesday for monitoring and managing risk, saying the financial industry must be better equipped to contain the type of widespread damage wrought by the credit crunch.

Actually, they don't need "new standards". They just need to replace the old standards the Republicans trashed so contemptuously over the last 30 years.

It will be interesting to see...

The site offers sample comments ("John McCain has a comprehensive economic plan . . .") and a list of dozens of suggested destinations, conveniently broken down into "conservative," "liberal," "moderate" and "other" categories. Just cut and paste........

Just how many of the witty, erudite comments posted by our tardy-trolls end up being directly copied/pasted from Crash's website. To use a technical term, I would say "a whole shitload."

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.
