- Shouts & Murmurs: Too Big to Fail: Humor: The New Yorker
Before you throw this letter into the proverbial round file, let’s be clear: this is the first time I have ever asked for a bailout from the Federal Reserve. I know what you’re thinking. Why do I deserve your largesse, and I do mean largesse, since I’m asking for five million big ones? The answer is simple. Like many of our nation’s financial institutions, I am simply too big to fail. If investors were allowed to witness the collapse of Freddie, Fannie, and then Andy, I can’t begin to describe what havoc it would wreak on their already frayed nerves. Actually, I can describe it: global financial calamity. I think we can both agree that, to dodge this bullet, ten million dollars is a small price to pay. (I know that I originally asked for five, but since I started writing this letter my financial situation has deteriorated in grave and unexpected ways.)

Thanks for the link to Strange Doctrines. A smart guy and a good, entertaining writer. The subject matter, however, is largely the standard fare from most other liberal blogs.
A case of this nature could accomplish one of two things.
Blow a whole the size of the titanic in campaign finance and have it all tumble down like a house of cards.
Place religious institutions above the law.
I flipped out when I read about this one. I'd like to know what states this farce is going to take place in. The good news is I'm sure anyone that would listen to their minister as far as who to vote for is already a McCain/Palin supplicant
