"You put Lloyd Blankfein in pound-me-in-the-ass prison for one six-month term, and all this bullshit would stop, all over Wall Street," says a former congressional aide. "That's all it would take. Just once."

This quote from a recent Mike Taibbi article on the Mortgage Crisis is profound not only in it's assessment of the Crisis itself, but also of the way our government and legal system have completely broken down while kneeling before the mafioso criminals on wall street.

Sort of like Al Paccino said in the Godfather series "...in another ten years we'll be completely legitimate." And they have become just that today, while ruling over the massive government sanctioned and taxpayer funded criminal Ponzi scheme called the ever concieved.

If you haven't had the chance to read it yet (does anyone still read?) Here is a link to the story in the February 16th issue of Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone - Taibbi on Wall Street. If you can read this and not be sickened by how corrupt our entire system has become I am very sad for you.

Thanks for reading, I just cant say any more for now...[/COLOR][/COLOR][/FONT]
