How money corrupts congress
What an amazing talk by Lawrence Lessig! I think this describes the in and out of corruption in US congress and not only is it exposed bare naked, but he actually lays out a plan to stop it without a possible equivalent of french revolution! A must watch to understand politics of U S A. [...]
The Fleecing of Customers: One of the Many Tools in the US Banks’ Toolkit
December 6, 2011 Comments Off

If you have not been monitoring your checking account carefully and ended-up paying overdraft fees to banks, you may have been fleeced — by your bank. Here is an actual account. No further explanation needed.

CitiBank has no business being in business. It failed as a business at least three times in the last twenty years. Got bailed out each time. Not only that, like many other banks where fraud is a business model (thank you, Karl Denninger), Citi got caught committing fraud several times. Each time they were caught, [...]

Unbelievable scene, isn’t it?
For years I have been ranting against the unethical behavior of big banks and Wall Street interests. I have been warning about the impending pitch-forks and torches on the main street. This prediction has manifested in the form of Occupy Wall Street exactly two months ago. On September 29th I wrote: And [...]

First it was Dubya. Then came Sarah Palin to one up on W in “intelligence”. Not to be out done by Palin, Michelle Bachman jumped in and made Sara Palin look very smart. Enter Rick Perry and his infamous gaffes.

Rep Joe Walsh (R-IL) knows exactly the problem with economy. It is not the banks! Look at the way he yells at his constituents. What an a**hole!

“Excuse me, excuse me!” Bombarded with questions about the sexual harassment charges by various women Herman Cain looses it.
Rick Perry, if you are running for POTUS, don’t drink and give a stump speech. Other than that, no further commentary needed (of course, this is a shorter (juicy) version of the full 25 min speech given [...]

If you are looking for classic examples of sociopaths, look no further. From NY Times:
On Friday, the law firm of Steven J. Baum threw a Halloween party. The firm, which is located near Buffalo, is what is commonly referred to as a “foreclosure mill” firm, meaning it represents banks and mortgage servicers as they attempt [...]
Another sad news. Dennis Ritchie , who invented UNIX and C died October 8th 2011. Whats more important is the news did not hit the mass media until yesterday / today i.e October 13th 2011.

I really feel sorry for those who believe Sarah Palin is anything more than an empty suite. I really do.
Have you noticed Sarah Palin’s childish attack on Chris Christie for getting all the attention from the press? Have you seen her calling “Herb” Cain as the “flavor of the month?”

Rest in peace, Mr. Jobs. We will miss you, but your legacy lives on. You are a true inspiration to me.

Remember this Vanity Fair article: Of the 1%, by the 1% for the 1%? Professor Joseph Stiglitz was at the “Occupy Wall Street” rally and appeared on Lawrence O’Donnel’s show.
“Too little regulation of banks and too much regulation of the democratic processes.”
