Remember Washington Mutual? Here's exactly how they fucked up.

Seattle Cops Late Friday Night: Seemed to be cracking down on...something.

Public Option's Comeback: Why is it happening?

So why isn't Kerry Killington in jail? Why hasn't he done the honorable thing and taken his own life? Why is he still one of the richest motherfuckers in the world?

Great scene.

Kerry Killinger belongs in prison.

Our favorite Stupid Fucking Credulous Hacks at the Seattle Times also have a wonderful pro I-1033 article up today.

Because the only rich people who go to jail are the one's who have stolen from other rich people.

43-19 is not "asses handed to them." 48-9 like BSU did to Hawaii, that is "asses handed to them.

WAMU quote of the century:

"When I asked how we could possibly foreclose on it, they said there was a letter in the file from O.J. Simpson saying 'the judgment is no good, because I didn't do it.' "

OJ KILLED WAMU TOO.

I hate Kerry Killinger. I feel dirty for having worked for them despite being nowhere near that toxic mortgage shit. Add my voice to the chorus calling for his jailing.

"Because the only rich people who go to jail are the one's who have stolen from other rich people."

Heard of Nick Levene?

Looks like England has their own (and connected to) Bernie Madoff - the rich elite continuing to fuck over the public.

Morrissey can now right the greatest non-ironic song about a culty, morose aged rock star collapsing on stage while singing a song about the ironies or charming men. Did that make sense? Fuck, I'm drinking and I don't care.

Oh, yeah Killinger's last days ... you can sense the heavy stank of doom in the air at the WaMu Center (or so I hear)....

I don't really want Killinger to go to jail. I want him to watch his nuts drop out of his slit-open ballsack, followed by his intestines. I hear they look shiny and purple in the open air.
