By their fruits ye shall know them...

I was looking at this mess at Money.CNN.com and forcing myself to repeat the words "Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act" in my head to see if I could get it to parse, but nope, it still sounds like gibberish.

Christopher Dodd and Barney Frank, a pair of career tax leeches on the cursus dishonorum, neither of whom has soiled their patrician hands with an honest day's work in their life, are going to bring sense to financial markets and look out for the well-being of the little guy? Yeah, right. Let's try some other equally likely-sounding pairings:
  • Marx & Engels' Comprehensive Guide to Investment Planning

  • The Gacy and Dahmer Show: Fun & Easy Cooking With Kids!

  • The Jack T. Chick School of Molecular Biology
Oh, and another federal agency out of the bargain, just full of sinecures and pensions to secure, petty fiefdoms to expand and vigorously defend, and, no doubt, their very own SWAT team.

  2. Tam,

    If you follow The Automatic Earth, they have been tracking the demise of the Euro for months, and also tracking the depths that the Federal Reserve and America's big banks, and Wall Street, too, are entangled at the fundament of the mess.

    This is just another way to create a few more SEIU jobs and keep the Democrat/Union contributor rolls filled.

    Of course, consumers should remember the old saw about the Three Biggest Lies, including "We are here from the government. We are here to help."

  4. My Christmas wish is for Chris Dodd and Barney Frank to each get a lump of coal in their Christmas stockings - it's so appropriate for where I'd like to see them go.

  6. Tam, Tam, Tam -- Chris Dodd is a vegetable, not a fruit. They just get that sweetish smell when they go bad.
