Janet Yellen Now Front-Runner for Fed Chief

Now that Larry Summers has pulled out

Federal Reserve Vice Chairwoman Janet Yellen emerged as the front-runner to become President Barack Obama's nominee to lead the central bank after Lawrence Summers pulled out of the contest amid stiff congressional resistance, according to people familiar with the process.

Mr. Obama in June mentioned three final candidates for the job in a closed-door meeting with lawmakers—Ms. Yellen, Mr. Summers, and former Fed Vice Chairman Donald Kohn, but Ms. Yellen and Mr. Summers have long been seen as the two leading candidates.

My theory is that it's not SEXISM behind this whole thing, it is SPECIESISM? "Yellen" is at the one and the same time reminiscent of "Ol' Yeller", an obvious slam at a sub-humanoid, doggoid species, AND, above and beyond that, of "Yeti", which is yeti ANOTHER sub-humanoid species! The whole thing obviously is totally SATURATED with species-ism, and yeti Emperor Obama, obvious PATRIARCH that he is, is utterly OBLIVIOUS! "There Otter Bee a LAW", I say, and I hope and pray to Government Almightyness and Political Correctness that I have not offended SOME species, SOME-where?

Is it the same move as running Obama for President. If you question Obama's corruption you are racist. If you question the Fed's inflationism you will be a sexist. Lipstick on pigs.
