Congress acts swiftly to regulate ACORN, Wall Street Billionaires, not so much.

[paparush]

I'm just stunned today at how fast both houses moved to restrict funding to ACORN, but a year into the mega financial meltdown that still threatens the global economy, new regulation remains virtually unwritten.

1. It's EASY to spank organizations which help the poor.

You're right = Discipline Wall Street? Not so much.

I enjoy watching most House of Representatives' proceedings BUT I find the Senate both an ARROGANT and essentially Corporate-enhancing entity. :(

2. Like Frank Shaeffer said on Rachel's show the other night

We are reorganizing the village to accomodate the village idiot. And we've been doing it for years.

4. In the immortal words of Grandmaster Flash...

A street kid gets arrested
Gonna do some time
He gets out 3 years from now
Just to commit more crime

A businessman is caught
With 24 kilos
He's out of jail
and out on bail
and that's the way it goes WHUUP!


Amusing true fact: I knew that song for about 20 years, without realizing they were talking about cocaine. :rofl:

Those with suitable abstraction ability can of course apply the thought to the current situation.

5. They need to hurry before people find out the story is not true! /nt

6. pretty in your face, isn't it? the same could be said of the alacrity with which banksters

are bailed out v. the mire of health care.

it shows exactly who runs the show, & it's not rank & file dems or the deluded idiot cadres marching in tea party rallies.

8. Great comparison - thanks!

Fiddling while Rome burns with Healthcare and regulating the banks.

Johnny like a shot on Van Jones and ACORN.

Priorities and all that.
