The Wall Street-Washington incest MUST end. This coming Tuesday, America has a chance to ring that bell, expose that incest, cleanse the system, and deliver the message loud and clear. The peal of that bell must emanate from the 4th District in the state of Massachusetts. You do not need to read Sense on Cents [...]

Last month President Obama signed into law the Financial Regulatory Reform bill that left us Surrendering to the Worst. But one of the very few positives of that bill was the formation of a consumer financial protection bureau to oversee some of the worst lending practices that contributed to the housing bubble and collapse. The consumer protection bureau [...]

Oh, you remember Rep. Waters, don’t you? Who could forget her comments regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Just in case, here’s a reminder: Uh, um, hell yes, there was a big problem with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Rep. Waters.

And Fannie Mae are not included in the big Financial Reform Bill? I am just curious since they helped create this economic situation in which we find ourselves, and have drained billions of dollars from the coffers over the past couple of years. Now they want MORE. Oh, yeah – Freddie Mac is asking for [...]

Chris Dodd is the embodiment of what is wrong with American politics. Why? The incestuous relationship between Wall Street and Washington took time and willing participants. Career politicians willing to sell their soul at the expense of the American taxpayer are critical for this incest to truly develop. Enter Chris Dodd. Who was one of [...]

* A Great Post, Bumped Up * Colleen O’Connor, San Diego News Network, penned a fun article: King Obama v. Queen Clinton — Check or Checkmate? Her thesis is that the patient “Queen” is slowly but surely vanquishing the foes who betrayed her for Obama last year. I have another theory. Political operatives who backed [...]

Any salesperson on Wall Street is always faced with the question as to the nature of his book of business. Meaning, not only what type of business he transacts but even more importantly, with whom does he do business. While there are many fabulous salespeople on Wall Street, sales managers are forever reviewing account coverage [...]

It was everything you would expect from the first round of a March Madness Tournament. Upsets, buzzer beaters, overtime and blowouts. Hard fouls, sharp elbows, long distance bombs and Larry Craig’s legendary wide stance. The battle for the No Quarter Trophy is underway. One National Champion will be named. The person you decide is the [...]

Using the AIG rendition of the social idiot who shows up at the party wearing a plastic groucho nose, eyebrows and glasses prop, AIG tore down their headquarters sign this weekend and unceremoniously, if not surreptitiously, changed their company name to AIU–although IOU seems to be a more appropriate name. No kidding. You can’ make [...]

h/t Truthteller for spotting this muy caliente story about Senator Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) — now forever infamous for his Day One: “I didn’t touch the Wyden/Snowe amendment”; Day Two: “I altered the amendment in the bill, but I’m not being inconsistent in my truthiness” — and his Mormon wife, Jackie Clegg Dodd, also an aide [...]

(Bumped up from Thursday evening. JOIN IN THE FUN! This is a riot! – Susan) It’s that time of year. If you are one of the lucky Americans still working in an office atmosphere, you probably have been inundated with bracket contests tied to the NCAA Tournament. I love the tournament and watch those games [...]

That would be the Economic Stimulus bill, the one shoved through in such a hurry, no one had time to read it. No, they could not be bothered to take one WEEK to comb through the more than one THOUSAND pages of this bill. Maybe, just maybe, if they had, they would have noticed that [...]

UPDATE: I found the correct video, and replaced the wrong one. “Dodd admits to role in AIG loophole,” CNN says this is the video of Dodd’s confession, but it’s not. However, DODD remains mired in his envenomed, equivocating, and execrable excuse after excuse, as you’ll see in this utterly pathetic act of his. Dodd needs [...]

I think Glenn Beck raises some excellent points in these two videos. The government, people like Dodd and Grassley, are trying to raise a mob to go after the AIG employees who took the bonuses. Grassley even said they should commit suicide…. Quit sending the rabid dogs after the AIG employees! Government is buying you [...]

Update by editor (SusanUnPC): I’m listening to the 7 a.m. MSNBC news hour via my DVR — I watch the enemy often to catch any material to exploit — and Chris Matthews is hosting because of the live congressional (House) hearing on AIG. It’s a good thing I don’t have a Deadwood-style lady’s pistol because [...]
