watch it: the 3/20/10 weekly address from President Barack Obama


Is this new bill called the Torches and Pitchforks Act of 2010? The Directive for the Prevention of the Revolt of the Peasants? Cuz there’d better finally be some major blood — of a figurative sort, of course — and fines that look like the GDP of small African nations. Or I call for tarring and feathering and running out of town, for a start…

No, it sounds like this bill has nothing to say about punishing the evil bastards who nearly crashed the global economy. Rob a bank, you go to jail. Use your bank to rob the planet, not only do you not even get a slap on the wrist, you get a fat bonus and continued employment. Hoorah!

share and enjoy
