Boy, that sure was some crisis
Wall Street banks in $70bn staff payout
Pay and bonus deals equivalent to 10% of US government bail-out package
Imagine if we had not had the bailout bill! The Wall Street types who shit the worldwide bed might have missed their outlandish compensation! One shudders to think.
But we’re safe now; at least until their bonuses come due next year, when we’ll have to have another emergency to make sure they get paid.
@jsundmanus @HouseDemocrats @SpeakerPelosi @LeaderHoyer @USRepKeating The United States is an oligarchy. The man in the White House is a front.
Oh give me a fucking break. Tim Russert is the Original Gangster of "access journalism". I doubt there existed a boot in Washington D.C. that he he didn't lick while he was still among us.
Meet the Press used to be Tim Russert reminding politicians who they work for. Now it’s politicians getting their asses polished by Chuck Todd’s goatee.
When did the USA become a monarchy? I dunno. That's a question best left to the experts. @HouseDemocrats @SpeakerPelosi @LeaderHoyer @USRepKeating can you help us understand when the United States became a monarchy? We're a bit confused out here.

Just ate a cup of almond-milk yoghurt. Well, we can cross my list of things to do.
From the referenced article in The Guardian:
“At one point last week the Morgan Stanley $10.7bn pay pot for the year to date was greater than the entire stock market value of the business. In effect, staff, on receiving their remuneration, could club together and buy the bank.”
