PBS Video: Simon Johnson & James Kwak with Bill Moyers -- April 16, 2010
For those who haven't seen it already, set aside some time. Outstanding discussion and congressional footage. Dimon, Blankfein, Goldman, both Morgans, Citigroup, Geithner and Bernanke all get thrashed about the studio.
For once, Turbo told the truth on a weekend talk show. Sort of.
We could add that Geithner never paid taxes like a real taxpayer either. Funny sound bit aside, his ongoing attempt to distance himself from Wall Street's leveraged decade is pitiful. You know my thoughts, as President of the New York Fed, Geithner was criminally negligent in his role as Wall Street's chief regulator.
Even Max Keiser agrees.
Considering our previous story, I reserve equal anger for these bastards.
Check out the Keith Olbermann ass-kiss the founder has on his twitter page.
Feel free to trash this tool's Twitter account.
Carl Paladino is a racist.
Carl Paladino, the Tea-Party-backed Republican candidate for governor of New York, is a worthless scumbag racist.
Try suing me now, you bastard. You're a public figure. Besides, you'll have to get in line behind everyone else pissed off at the Bail.
As an original member of the Ron Paul Tea Party, I haven't taken especially well to the infiltration of the movement by well...a bunch of ignorant dumbasses. Our brand is based on ideas not race, religion or ethnicity. You have no idea the anger I have that the Tea Party movement has attracted and elevated cretins like Carl Paladino.
There are more exposures coming. Today was step #1 in the reclamation of our ideals. Racist tea partiers beware. You would be well-advised to get the hell out of the movement. Forthwith.
We're just getting started.

Video: Gilligan's Island The Little Dictator -- Season 2, Episode 3
---
Just a bit of mindless Saturday morning entertainment. The full episode is pretty funny if you have the time. If not, start watching at the 6 minute mark for Bernanke's lessons on the finer points of central banking. Seriously. You'll enjoy it. Bernanke's cameo runs approximately 1 minute.
Yesterday we covered Greenspan's testimony before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, which you can read here, here, here and here. Today it's Robert Rubin and former Citigroup CEO Chuck Prince.
Prince is one of the few who has apologized directly for his role in the failure of Citi, and he repeated his apology in testimony today. But that's merely a distraction from the important revelation that Citiroup lied to shareholders about it's subprime exposure. Seriously, Mary Schapiro, wtf do you do all day at the SEC besides scheme to get Mark Cuban?!?
When you tell the Street your exposure is $13 billion, and it's really more than $50 billion, then your arse deserves to sit in prison and be dressed in inmate orange.
Are there any federal prosecutors even paying attention?!?

Democrat Rep. Hank Johnson worries loading too many people onto Guam could capsize the island. This is not a joke. Johnson will undoubtedly be re-elected in a landslide this Fall.
