Based on Rep. Alan Grayson’s line of questioning for Federal Reserve General Counsel Scott Alvarez, you’d think the Beard and his troops were using their powers to turn the equity markets into their personal plaything. The game of cat and mouse starts with the question “Has the Federal Reserve Ever Tried to Manipulate the Stock Market?”, which leaves Alvarez a bit flat footed. He quickly goes to the ‘it’s too broad a question’ play which is met with an emphatic “I think not”. The 4 minutes that follow are highly reminiscent of the Stanford Band Play with Grayson sensing victory multiple times until Alvarez slips right by him, the clock runs out, and Alvarez is in the end zone.

Greg, I am going to make two hairline scratches on every DVD you own at the 27 and 64 minute marks. I spaced them with the intention of making you believe the first scratch is a onetime incident, while the second scratch is there to ruin your cinema pleasure.

The only thing I can conclude is you must have nude pictures of Bess. Can I send one of the boys from Stamford down to borrow them?

We don’t manipulate the stock market directly. But if major institutional buyers start selling, They do find a horse’s head in their bed the next morning. Oh and I also have threatened to send HP to break Jim Chanos’ kneecaps if he doesn’t stop yapping.
@10 No it makes you awesome. That movie is a classic. Almost as classic as Beastmaster.
this congress dude is clearly a faggot.
Greg,
After reading some of your posts I’m starting to reconsider my stance on post-natal abortion.

Greg,
Your mom earned $50 today for giving me and my friend oral multiple times in your room…..and for allowing me to replace the standard light bulb above your bed with a black light.

Elaborate but harmless prank @1 FTW!
With those guns pointed at the back of his head, obviously this is said under duress.
Love this post, GREG! Alan Grayson is a ROCKSTAR!
Why was Bess in the audience at a Congressional Hearing?
Did I just watch a youtube video of John C. Reilly arguing that the GAO should be given authority to audit the entire banking system?
I’m only asking, because, I feel like I just watched a youtube video of John C. Reilly arguing that the GAO should be given authority to audit the entire banking system.
