    who's with me?

    Yeah, much like Will Ferrell leading a streak through the quad, I suppose we won't do anything. We will do nothing about any of this. Man, firing off a few hotly worded missives sure helps release some steam, but what do we do?

    I had a client who worked for the FDIC who worried about open revolt. I wonder whom we'd revolt against? Is it big banks, the guv'mint, arms producers, corporations? How do we appeal our case? Where do we find or make standing?

    I guess we need to click our heels three times and say,

    "change I can believe in/

    change I can believe in/

    change I can believe in!"

    If I were to believe in that I'd need to be on drugs.
