Video: Rand Paul Pummels Harry Reid: " Mr. Speaker, I Rise In Response To A Scurrilous Accusation..."
Video - Rand Paul on Senate Floor - May 26, 2011
A leader speaks without a teleprompter...
Paul showed substantial cojones all week, going against the Republican-Democrat unconstitutional tidal wave of unpatriotic Patriot Act insanity.
Happy holiday weekend. Open thread. I'll be around.
- "I rise in response to a scurrilous accusation," Paul said. "I've been accused of wanting to allow terrorists to have weapons to attack America. To be attacked of such a belief when I'm here to discuss and debate the constitutionality of the Patriot Act is offensive. I find it personally insulting. And I think it demeans the body. It demeans the Senate body and the people that we can't have an intelligent debate over the constitutionality of this."

Video: Tim Geithner Ambushed By Anti-Bailout Activists
Video - End Government Bailouts with Nobailatol - Viagra parody
Take a few minutes to watch all of these. They run 30 seconds each. The Geithner clip is at the bottom.
All are winning submissions for a national anti-bailout video contest conducted in late 2009. They are either really, really funny or just sickly depressing, depending where you find yourself on the moral hazard insanity spectrum.

Gasparino: DOJ Will Determine Whether Blankfein Stays as CEO Of Goldman, Board Willing To Sacrifice Lloyd In Exchange For Leniency
This sounds like wishful thinking to us. Blankfein will do everything in his power to stay on as CEO, including but not limited to bake sales for Obama 2012, community service in the Hamptons, and a series of public PSAs discussing the Rapture, Harold Camping and doing God's work on Wall Street.
Full story plus Gasparino video inside.

Dirty Harry: "Do You Feel Lucky, Punk?"
Flashback Friday...
This is not an endorsement of violence, and posting it has almost nothing to do with Tim Geithner's decision to screw taxpayers on the sale of GM shares.
Why? Because, honestly, like you, I'm growing accustomed to getting ripped off by Tim Geithner. I'm numb. Dulled to the pain. Dirty Harry, he's less numb.

Geithner Says 'Ask The Women About IMF Culture' (Video)
This is a very impressive response. We give him credit.
Tim likely wants the job as IMF chief - $500K per year tax free, he could stay in D.C., he could prove all of us wrong by not going directly to Goldman - you know he wants the job. And Christine Lagarde is not looking so good now that she's facing prosecution for financial sleaze in France.
When asked by Politico's Mike Allen if he knew about IMF's notorious culture of harassment against women, Geithner said you should ask the women.
Don't forget that Geithner was an 'utter failure at the IMF' according to the Australian PM.

Video: Six Climate Realist Scientists Speak The Truth
Video - Highlights from Climate Realists Conference 2011 - Cambridge, UK
The grand illusion (delusion, really) continues to be shattered.
It's nothing more than a giant money-making scheme for the investment banks and Al "I got a 'D' in natural sciences at Harvard" Gore. Carbon trading is complete and utter bullshit. We need alternative sources of energy, no one denies this. And I detest large oil and gas companies, let that be understood. I am no one's mouthpiece. But carbon trading and offsets are an enrichment scheme with negative value for society.

Coburn: $500K To Study Shrimp On Treadmills, $300k To Study 'Farmville', Gelatin Wrestling In Antarctica, WTF!?!
Stephanopoulos' intro laugh for this story is uncalled for and really pisses me off. It's not a freaking joke Georgie. We're broke - 43 cents of every dollar is borrowed and you're giggling like a 4 ft. school girl with a 7th grade crush.
You've probably heard of shrimp on the barbie, but what about shrimp on a treadmill? The National Science Foundation has, and it spent $500,000 of taxpayer money researching it. It's not entirely clear what this research hoped to establish. But it's one of a number of projects cited in a scathing new report from Sen. Tom Coburn.
