You know times are bad when Donald Trump files for bankruptcy and Warren Buffet loses 25% of his fortune in a single quarter. And to add to our woes, the banks we bailed out are lobbying against us, the war that bled us dry was making U.S. Military officers rich, and there are more stories than I care to link to about all the other ways that bankers have enjoyed the high life while we lose jobs, homes, and hopes. So where can a person turn to express some of the anger and frustration? Why, a Smash Me Bernie Madoff doll, of course. In their words, “This wonderful action figure capturing Bernie in the ‘I am about to stick this poker right up your ass and take the spare change out of your pockets’ position can be yours for just $99.95” You might want to order a few, because for a while they’re offering the doll with a limited edition hammer to smash it with. The only hope we have otherwise is that since Greenspan’s been so wrong in the past, his proclamation that the recession will surely be the longest and deepest since the 1930′s is dead wrong as well.
