3. This whole Rube Goldberg scheme of misdirection and illusion would be funny

if it weren't so fucking sad.

[amborin]

[branders seine]

[Arkana]

[dixiegrrrrl]

7. He "blasts" the big banks but says nothing about who he hired

that made the rip-off possible.
Not a word about how the Fed and Treasury conspired to make it happen, not a word about how
Geithner lied and covered up the AIG deal and failed to practice oversight when he was head of the
NT Fed bank....
Nope...just a slight of hand that points to the "big banks".
No honor among thieves, indeed.

[leeroysphitz]

9. I can has change nao?
