A Daily Bail Original Film: Hank The Hammer

Henry Paulson Theater - Hank The Hammer 

Daily Bail Comedy Short

[Note: For those who don't know the video creation software works, I wrote the text and plugged it into the program...and the character and setting were generated randomly.  So Paulson became a blue, alien female.  We like it.]

Video:  Former Goldman Sachs CEO Henry Paulson has a message for you

We haven't forgotten the crimes against humanity of former Goldman Sachs CEO Henry Paulson and his tax-free $700 million.  We put everything that's important about your former TARP-loving Treasury Secretary into a 90-second comedy short.  Take a look!

Read about Paulson's role in the SEC rule change that allowed leverage to explode on Wall Street.  This single act played a devastating, but rarely-mentioned role in bringing down the system.

 

 

 

We made a few more comedy clips back in the day...

When the Revolution is over, I propose a series of cage matches between The Hammer and whoever we decide to put him up against. Geithner, you're gonna be tops on my list. Get 'im boy!

But at some point, walstreetpro2 is going to have his turn. And he gets to bring his baseball bat.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -

For Henry Paulson Jr., a Goldman-sized tax loophole awaits his pleasure.

High-flying business executives almost always endure financial sacrifice when they make a detour into public service. Paulson is no different: The Goldman Sachs (nyse: GS - news - people ) boss will see his annual paycheck shrink from last year's $38 million to a paltry $183,500 once he takes over the job of Treasury secretary.

But don't shed too many tears for Paulson. He has amassed quite a fortune--a roughly $700 million equity stake in Wall Street's premier investment banking house. And soon, he will have the chance to diversify a good chunk of those holdings without paying a dime to the Internal Revenue Service.

Thanks pitch...it's become a popular story lately...getting lots of linking in various chat rooms...so i decided to put it back on the front page...strange that you watched it just last night...it makes me laugh...and i guess it works for others as well...

for those who don't know...i wrote the text and we plugged it into the software...and this is the character and setting it spit out...we have no control over the outcome...so Paulson became a blue, alien chick...

Spain to rescue its banks

The Spanish government is set to launch a sweeping restructuring of its troubled regional savings banks in an attempt to reassure the market it can sort out the problems of its financial system.

Not that funny. It's the perfect example of giving something too much credit because you like the message.

The best test to determine if something is good or not? Pretend it's the *opposite* what you believe. If you were very much pro-fed, would this cause you to laugh *in spite of* your politics? No? The only reason you think it's funny is because you agree with what it's saying?

Than it isn't funny. When people start producing content as good as Hollywood, then people's minds might be changed. Until then, it's preaching to the choir.

@Penny, I would like to mention a very serious documentary entitled "Human Resources" by Scott Noble.

[snip] From Op-ED News

"Esentially," says Scott, "this film is about the rise of mechanistic philosphy and the exploitation of human beings under modern hierarhical systems." The film includes original interviews with: "Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Rebecca Lemov ("World as Laboratory"), Christopher Simpson ("The Science of Coercion"), George Ritzer ("The McDonaldization of Society"), Morris Berman ("The Reenchantment of the World"), John Taylor Gatto ("Dumbing us Down"), Alfie Kohn ("What does it mean to be well educated?") and others."

I suggest reading the reviews first before anyone watch this as the contents may be unsettling from a psychological standpoint. Here are a few reviews.

[snip]

I advise viewing the first half of Human Resources in the educative mode, learning the ropes of that skein of modernity that has held us so resourcefully to our tasks as good worker bees and advocates of box-style public education. I advise viewing the second half of the film with the willingness to weep that is the corollary of modernist inquiry. Unless you weep, you may be damaged by this film. It answers the significant events of the last century the way a glass answers the implicit questions of a man who peers into its reflective surface—point for point. It corresponds, in short, to reality. Perhaps this is what we mean when we say that a work is a piece of the master.

And here is the documentary film which is about 2 hours long.
