Relax, it's Friday. This is pretty hilarious.
Watch the first few minutes. Taibbi's interesting theories on the NFL draft.
Thanks also to Dan Patrick, who was gracious enough to have me on his show to talk about my latest NFL Draft Decoded piece. I'm always intimidated talking to guys I grew up watching on Sportscenter, but it was a fun spot.

Brand new piece today from Matt Taibbi at Rolling Stone.
Everything Is Rigged: The Biggest Bank Price-Fixing Scandal Ever
Cheyenne
Well, well, well. What do we have here but another banking scandal?
Only this time it's so huge as to wrench a fascinating admission from Matt Taibbi in the very first sentence of his new piece.
"Conspiracy theorists of the world, believers in the hidden hands of the Rothschilds and the Masons and the Illuminati, we skeptics owe you an apology. You were right. The players may be a little different, but your basic premise is correct: The world is a rigged game."
What you will notice about the names of the players involved in the crime wave du jour--"Barclays, UBS, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and the Royal Bank of Scotland"--is that every one of them is on the list of Global Systematically Important Banks provided as a courtesy by the FSB to let us plebes know which banks are above the law:

Unfortunately, Taibbi makes note of the Justice Department's refusal to prosecute "systematically important" banks without drawing any connection to the FSB. I wrote all about it here. Had he done so, his many readers (he has upwards of 150K twitter followers) would have been made aware that it is the FSB, not the U.S. government, that's calling the shots on criminal prosecutions in the U.S. This is a surefire indication that the U.S. is no longer sovereign, which Daily Bail readers will recall is the case.
