Side splitting humour at its best, then I realised my kidneys were acting up.

That's gratitude for you. Goldman Sachs and all the others need to be in jail, and their assets
confiscated. The fact that they are not in jail, they need alot of humble, but they do not view
as the average joe would. They are above the fray, I say they need to be brought down to size,
and worth

Thanks for letting me voice my opinion.

Obama has already fulfilled the need he agreed to four years ago to make him the recipient of the lions share of Wall Street dollars, now it is time to move on to cookie cutter candidate number two.

And the game plays on...

Makes me think of things like, rats escaping a sinking ship or vultures abandoning a stripped bare carcass.

Funny, those were the first things that came to mind, although it is demeaning to rats and vultures to compare them to Wall Street Bankers.

The 99% VS the 1% - A battle to be fought and won with truth and unity! The people have finally started to come together. You cannot convince me that tiny Iceland can handle the “Cabal” and WE cannot!
Now is the time to join forces with those you would not normally consider. This is all starting to leak out to the main stream media... finally. We just need to KEEP THE HEAT on them. We will soon be posting new petition and email campaign info as well as protest ideas. We just need more people following this group and we can use resources from the Tea Party, Occupy and other groups. THEY win as long as they can keep us arguing with each other.
WE need to come together with people we wouldn't normally work with to bring these criminals DOWN! Spread the word, others have carried the load of exposing this activity. Now we the people NEED to come out and make it a major issue in the news and in this political cycle.

Reality as only the New Yorker can print it. I don’t know if they actually read this stuff before they send it out, or if they actually believe this stuff.

On a follow up on the New Yorker story. This reads as a complete and total fairy tale. Totally and wholly unbelievalbe. Try not to wretch too much when reading.
