   I thought Gregg used to be one of the most pro-Fed legislators. Didnt he attack the audit bill as crass populism?

   Gregg Michaels is not a friend of mine.

   looks alto to me, doubt the beard has the fortitude to handle a tenor (soprano is for T-Geith)

    @5
    I woulda believe falsetto, but to claim T-Geith is one of the castrati? Yea, ok, I'd believe that, too.

    Guys, this was all settled yesterday. It's not a saxophone, it's a bong.

    Gregg believes in central banking independence, the Fed, and Ben.
    Are you confusing him with Ron Paul?

    @15 were you watching the hearing?

    This is patently false. Gregg is one of 2 Repubs to vote for the Beard. As an NH native I can tell you Gregg is an incompetent overrated hack riding on his family's coattails.

    Is it wrong to miss the CFA/MBA days and TLDR/Shamwow?

    @18/vs They banned TLDR comments, Shamwow got a little old (but maybe you can lead a revival) and the MBA won.
