2. Booby Jindal?

I guess this is the respectful name we have picked for him? Too funny.

[truebrit71]

5. Please get it right: His name is "Bobby Jingo". Parroted jingoism is all he's good for.

Or so it seems.

6. Kick n/t

7. Well, two of those things will be worth watching

I just hope they don't lead off with the Louisiana Liar.

We really need to get to the bottom of why the SEC backed off Madoff and Stanford. That means getting Linda Thomsen in front of Congress for some very hard questioning and not just a stern lecture in competence. I think she was competent but chose not to be and I want to know why.

The SEC during the past 8 years wasn't tied up with incompetence. It went way beyond that, all the way into collusion.

[malaise]

8. Madoff first

Excellent

[seemslikeadream]

9. Why was he allowed to get away with this?

[malaise]

10. Why is he still in his Penthouse apartment?

Why!!!

11. Thanks!

24 minutes from now, I'll tune in for sure.
