t's great that the cage fight at the White House - an almost fatally embarrassing thing in its own right; try saying the phrase out loud - is happening during the NBA Finals, the Stanely Cup Finals, and the Men's World Cup. Unless he dies at ringside, it might be the 4th sports headline on Monday. Emphasis on "might be."
Sure we're auctioning off whatever tiny shreds of dignity we have left as a nation but isn't it worth it to maybe be the top story on Yahoo! Sports for 20 minutes between World Cup group stage results like "Paraguay vs. Turkey" and "Ascension Island vs. Bir Tawil" ...
They're calling this an IPO because legally they can't print up a giant banner reading HEY WOULD YOU LIKE TO HOLD A BAG, YOU BIG FUCKING IDIOT?
Make sure YOU don't miss out on the opportunity to put up 48% of the money for 4.2% of the stock! Book value, $8! ...

Every post needs more dick jokes, on every blog and forum, ever.

Julie, Excellent.
Ed, I considered making a typical academic comment about your post failing to consider Douglas Arnold's theories about the relationship between regulatory agencies and Congress or any mention of iron triangles, or the important role of the judiciary in enabling the public to serve as watch dogs…but I didn't want to come off too nerdy. :-)

Hey, now, I'm still reading the paper. I occasionally have to put it down and look like I'm doing what I'm being paid to do, you know.
barry says:
i wouldn't take lack of comments as lack of interest. I found it very interesting, but there wasn't a great deal left to say…
Matthew says:
QUIET ALL OF YOU!
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN (BY NOT SPEAKING).
MORE DICK JOKES!

I was to understand that there would be pie.
