I look at the bailout thus:
Leader of Senate: All fellow members of the Roman senate hear me.
Shall we continue to build palace after palace for the rich? Or
shall we aspire to a more noble purpose and build decent housing
for the poor? How does the senate vote?
Entire Senate: FUCK THE POOR!
Not sure that applies, Epi. Wouldn't it fall under the "just a bad business decision" function?
Well, Naga, I don't see where they have the authority to
this.
But it doesn't matter anyway: acta est fabula, plaudite.
I was merely referring to this bailout charade, Naga.
The show is never over.
All the world's a stage...
If it makes you feel better Epi. Pro Lib has some WAMU shares he'd sell you. Then when they get bailed out, you can sit in on the shareholder meeting and heckle everyone.
