It's time for the Friday Poooooopuri, and there's an awful lot of poo out there to blog.

This week has had some highs and some very lows so I'd better get to work.

1. The high court decides to keep Bernie Madoff the operator of the largest Ponzi scheme in history in jail until his sentencing, what a brilliant move for a change. For the life of me I can't understand how the good 'Your Honor' Chin let this scum bag go home to his seven million dollar, forty five hundred square foot penthouse until last week. He didn't deserve to go home when he admitted what he did, it should have been right into custody, personally I was surprised he didn't disappear or commit suicide in his luxury apartment. There is an old joke that was going around in the days of the infamous Ivan Boesky that is most appropriate that I hope Mr. Madoff gets to experience, it goes like this. Bernie Madoff is in the Fed's big house for his first night of the rest of his life and is assigned to his new digs, his roommate is a rather large man (could be of any racial or ethnic group, your guess), the two exchange pleasantries. Bernie's new roommate then asks him what he would like to be the husband or the wife, Bernie being proven slick operator thinks for a minute and decides to take the role of the husband. His new roommate than says, that's a good choice Bernie, now come over here and s_ _k your wife's d_ _k.

2. Christopher Dodd you lying sack of s_ _t. Does that seem a little harsh, well maybe if he, wasn't one of the main players that started the ball rolling for the financial meltdown we are experiencing. Wasn't one of the lying bureaucrats who allowed taxpayer money to go to AIG for bonuses and to repay his rich FORIEGN hedge fund manager friends, again with American taxpayer money to cover their loses, and then denying he had anything to do with it, only to reverse when he was apparently informed that there was glaring evidence that most of the country knew. This crook was given special treatment for mortgages by his good buddy who chairs Countrywide Financial and is being investigated by the Senate ethics committee for ethics violations, although he is being judged by a jury of his peers and will probably get off since they're crooks like him. And the list goes on and on, isn't it time to send this crook into retirement, the reality is he now says he wants to help out his constituents when he really means he wants to save his sorry ass and nothing more.

3. Barney Frank doing his best, which is not very good at all, to do a phony 'save your sinking ship' expose' on bonus payouts at Fannie and crying that Congress has to take action to put an end to it right away. Barney you are one of the principles involved in the rise and subsequent fall into obscurity of Fannie and Freddie, and the good part is that all of America knows it. The fine Democrats in the great blue state of Massachusetts should wake up from their socioliberal dreams and send this twit packing, once and for all, the brand of Socialism this guy represents is not a good one.

4. President Obama wants a new start with Iran, great. He made his plea to the Ayatollahs and that terrorist weasel Ahmadinejad in an effort to start some kind of dialogue. Their response was we, America, have to atone for our past transgressions. Principally we have to abandon our support for the Nation of Israel and admit that we have been wrong all these years. With all of the political wrangling that will be involved the Iranian's will probably have the time they need to develop nuclear weapons, who knows, these weak sticks in the White House may just give the 'bomb' to them as a sign of good will.
