gotta love our watchdog elizabeth warren for (again) taking wall street to task--this time in tuesday's wall street journal. for starters, warren wrote in wsj: For years, Wall Street CEOs have thrown away customer trust like so much worthless trash. Banks and brokers have sold deceptive mortgages for more than a decade. Financial wizards made billions by packaging and repackaging those loans into securities. And federal regulators played the role of lookout at a bank robbery, holding back anyone who tried to stop the massive looting from middle-class families. When they weren't selling deceptive mortgages, Wall Street invented new credit card tricks and clever overdraft fees ... When the history of the Great Recession is written, they can be singled out as the bonus babies who were so short-sighted that they put the economy at risk and contributed to the destruction of their own companies. Or they can acknowledge how Americans' trust has been lost and take the first steps to earn it back.

(actually, we did, lol ... hit this link and enter page 68). ahhh, yesss. it's timmy time at fresno beach--a place the virgin islands' native inspired with his st. croix' crucian beach cred ... so without further ado, we hereby present "fresno beach famer" ...
