It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.-Upton Sinclair, as quoted yesterday by NY Times columnist Paul Krugman.

With THIS congress?
Well, shit. We're fucked, aren't we?
Update: Elizabeth Warren, chairperson of the Congressional oversight panel on bank bailouts, says bank regulations fail over time.
As I just said: Fucked.
