Crybabies are annoying.
They whine, they complain, sometimes they ruin it for the rest of us.
But being a crybaby can be a really effective tactic.
We have stories of crybabies in sports, in politics, on Wall Street, on the streets of California, including a new story by David Sedaris.

There are some VERY INTERESTING questions asked...involving messaging and defining the issues.

The rest of the show is pretty good too.

I was so infuriated at the first segment that I wanted to spit!!!

If you think that only the maroons and tbaggers are stupid and self-deceiving...you should hear what some of these
Wall St schmucks have to say..and that goes all the way down to the lower levels of money players. THEY did nothing wrong!!!
-of course, maroons and Wall St types are not necessarily mutually exclusive groups-

Gordon Gekko, Ben Stein, Steve Schwartzman and their ilk have spawned a whole generation of self-entitled assholes that are
incredibly nauseating to listen to.
You may want to take a prozac or something before you listen to this!!

1. In case you didn't know (and most don't) as just one example,

Michael Milkin is still a multi-billionaire after "paying for his crime" with his stay @ Club Fed where he was able to write his book about how he is both terribly sorry and simultaneously innocent...

American justice, what a concept...

2. I do know about Milliken and his brush with cancer and his "repentence"...and

the fact that he is still very, very, very, very wealthy.

There are many people who would spend the amount of time in jail that he did, if they could emerge with all the wealth and influence that he emerged with.

4. Bill Maher's New Rules from Last night are a perfect addition to this..

It appears that they cut some words from what he actually said on the air. The article is a bit more biting than what he said on the show.
