      Shucks...

      Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

        Just another sociopath drawn to wall street. I was particularly interested that when his son killed himself due to the shame of having him as a father, Bernie called him weak.

        Education is extremely important.

            I didn't realize his younger son also is dead.

            Wow. Poor Ruth.

            The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

                In Talking to Strangers, Gladwell has a fascinating chapter on Madoff.

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
