Video: Excerpts from Dr. Paul's speech Saturday at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference -- April 10, 2010
Paul begins speaking at the 55-second mark. Runs 2 minutes.
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?!?

Can We Get A Mandatory IQ Test For Congress?
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.
These 2 short clips won't sent you to the floor laughing, but they're not bad, in a subtle way, especially for a 16 year-old kid. He compares Apple's new iPad to the new health care oPad just passed by Congress.
Second short clip is inside.
Not sure what to make of Auto-Tune. A few more clips and the lyrics are inside.
Bloomberg Video: Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, talks with Matt Miller and Carol Massar about former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's testimony on his leadership of the central bank -- April 7

Difficult to argue with anything from Baker in this clip. The free-money wombat is guilty on all counts of recklless central banking leadership and promotion of the housing bubble.
Bloomberg Video: Grant torches Greenspan -- April 7, 2010
Two minutes of Indiana University graduate James Grant's understated sarcastic brilliance. Guaranteed to make you smile.
UPDATE: Clip added inside of Vanguard founder, John Bogle ripping Greenspan earlier today also on Bloomberg.
Free-money wombat, Alan Greenspan's most ridiculous quote so far:
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan is the lead witness at the first of three days of hearings by the bipartisan Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC). He discussed his decision to keep interest rates at low levels and stated that he thinks this did not cause the riskly lending practices that took place. The 10-member panel is examining the causes of the 2008 financial markets meltdown.
