Predictably lame comments. It's easy to laugh at activists, and I can't say they don't deserve the scorn most of the time, but, let's see, a lot of these people have decided to spend their lives in low paying, low respect jobs, when they had other options in life (it's true, hard to believe, I know, that some "idiots" are not motivated by money) to do what? To help poor people fight for a better life. God, what a bunch of losers, right? I mean, what are the odds any of this protesting does anything? (hint: close to zero)

I'm sure being a spreadsheet monkey or a bond salesman, jobs with real "value" in a bank or our economy (how are these sales jobs not dis-intermediated yet?) is much, much better.

Entry: President Bush: Wall Street Got Drunk And Has A Hangover

Let's see. Blame "Wall Street" for "their" mistakes. Show that the Republicans are the "true" populists, standing up to those horrible New York (i.e, Democratic) bankers and financiers who got us into this mess. I'm sure the WH is horrified by this "leak."

If the stakes weren't so high, I would be amused by the irony. A president who has advocated radical deregulation is "shocked, shocked" that free markets don't regulate themselves. Yes, Mr. President, there's gambling going on in here.
