The Wall Street Gang

So, it's not Friday yet (sad), but I felt it necessary to blog about this.

Occasionally, I'll listen to a radio talk show hosted by Michael Savage ("The Savage Nation"). By his own admission, he says he is more conservative than Rush, so that shows you where he is located philosophically. At times, this man is a raving lunatic, and I get a lot of entertainment value by listening to him. On some issues, I find myself agreeing with him - most of the time I don't.

Last night, I was making dinner and listening to "The Savage Nation" radio broadcast, and he was speaking of the current financial disaster. He started his monologue with the comparison of the guys on Wall Street to street gangs, like the Bloods and Crypts. He called them the "Wall Street Gang", and found them to be far more dangerous. Street gangs may rape and pillage you, but you can generally see them coming at you. You know who they are by the way they dress and the way that they act. He said that the "Wall Street Gang" is dressed really nice, drive really nice cars, and take your money without you even knowing it until it is too late.

He also said that the "Wall Street Gang" succeeded where Osama Bin Laden failed. On September 11th, 2001, OBL used airplanes to attempt to derail the economy. The "Wall Street Gang" didn't even need to use overt violence to thwart our economy, but had much greater success. And, like OBL, the "Wall Street Gang" will likely get away unscathed.

Hmmmm. Who is the real terrorist?
