Quote of the Moment

"This is a tactic straight out of Blazing Saddles, with banks essentially taking themselves hostage, putting guns to their own heads as they creep sideways out the door: 'Back off! Prosecute us and all these jobs will die!' And prosecutors, just like the idiot town leaders of Mel Brooks's Rockridge, are screaming, 'They're just crazy enough to do it!'"--Matt Taibbi
