Yep Biff America has been Hijacked.
“In 2007, Mr. Swanson married Shana Madoff, a niece of Bernard L. Madoff and daughter of his brother, Peter Madoff, the firm’s chief compliance officer. Ms. Madoff is the firm’s compliance attorney.”
Cobblehiller if people beLIEve that the old man was the only one in on this scam then, he should get away with it. Matter of fact I want to form a “Free Madoff” movement. He was feeding the Greedy and Delusional side of the masses. He gave them everything the wanted and I find no fault with that (No sarcasm).

BRG submits her Character Synopis for the new Dramady ‘Slopey Sex in the City’

Bxgrl and Polemecist head out to visit their mother for the holiday.

Montrose requests a world wide design competition for the Pizza Hut in Crown Heights.

I suggest we come up with a script, snark writes the music and we hold a performance of the Brownstonean Theatrical Guild in the masonic Hall and put on a show. we can raise funds for any worthy cause. (I do costumes- used to for years.) Should we have a final Hair scene?
Curtain Up- stage completely black- then cast members (starkly lit, follow spots on all) come slowly on stage singing snarkslope’s song. As more come on stage, tempo picks up until frenetic Obama, then slows down again. At the end all collapse on stage, dropping their tin cups and pencils to the ground.

Good mornig What, Did you see the NYT article with this nugget:
One of the commission’s investigative teams that had examined the Madoff firm was headed by a lawyer named Eric Swanson, who served for 10 years as a lawyer at the commission and left in 2006 while he was an assistant director of the office of compliance inspections and examinations in Washington.
In 2007, Mr. Swanson married Shana Madoff, a niece of Bernard L. Madoff and daughter of his brother, Peter Madoff, the firm’s chief compliance officer. Ms. Madoff is the firm’s compliance attorney.

“Banker douche, banker douche, will you do the perp walk now?”
Snark, unbelievable! We need a Song of the Day competition. Actually, there’ll be no competition since you’ll win it every time. Thank you; that was amazing.
