“Not all of the representatives at the hearing demanded changes to the accounting rules. In the minority was Florida Democrat Alan Grayson, who spoke last. Essentially, Grayson wants to keep fair-value accounting intact. He wryly compared changing mark-to-market rules to what he considered other outlandish ideas. For example, it would be like changing the circumference measurement Pi from 3.14 to 4 so the crowded circular highway around Washington known as the Beltway would be expanded; or increasing the size of an inch so he could be more comfortable on a plane; or make the number 98 larger than 109, so the loss the Washington Wizards pro basketball team had just suffered at the hands of the New Orleans Hornets would be recorded as a win. “Does it make sense to kill the messenger?” he asked the panel.”

“Isn’t it somewhat remarkable that we can go back a few hundred years and find no shortage of quotations from our founding fathers warning us against the dangers of democracy, yet today teachers and politicians use the word as if it were an offering of gold.”

Joke Time "The Accountant"
There once was a business owner who was interviewing people for a division manager position. He decided to select the individual that could answer the question “how much is 2+2?”
The engineer pulled out his slide rule and shuffled it back and forth, and finally announced, “It lies between 3.98 and 4.02.”
The mathematician said, “In two hours I can demonstrate it equals 4 with the following short proof.”
The physicist declared, “It’s in the magnitude of 1x101.“
The logician paused for a long while and then said, “This problem is solvable.”
The social worker said, “I don’t know the answer, but I a glad that we discussed this important question.”
The attorney stated, “In the case of Svenson vs. the State, 2+2 was declared to be 4.”
The trader asked, “Are you buying or selling?”
The accountant looked at the business owner, then got out of his chair, went to see if anyone was listening at the door and pulled the drapes. Then he returned to the business owner, leaned across the desk and said in a low voice,
“What would you like it to be?”

“It is common knowledge that the Kennedy, Reagan, and Bush (43) tax cuts spurred the economy back into shape. By contrast, the FDR spendfest in the 1930’s, as well as attempts in Japan and Argentina to spend their way out of recessions did nothing. These are proven (and disproven) models. Obama’s combination of mega-spending and welfare payments tax rebates to people who don’t pay taxes (as opposed to cuts in the tax rate), are a double-whammy of pure Socialist folly.”

Barney Frank: TARP's comp curbs could be extended to all businesses - Financial Week
Congress will consider legislation to extend some of the curbs on executive pay that now apply only to those banks receiving federal assistance, House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank said. “There’s deeply rooted anger on the part of the average American,” the Massachusetts Democrat said at a Washington news conference today. He said the compensation restrictions would apply to all financial institutions and might be extended to include all U.S. companies.
How dare those people pay attention to their education? How dare those rich bastards take chances, work 80 hours a week, pay attention to their decisions and stick their necks out. Who do they think they are?
