My Two Cents, by Chris Farrell

« There is good reason to be afraid | Main | A bad employment report? »

New York Post

Posted by Chris Farrell on Wednesday, January 7, 2009

One of the joys of traveling to New York is reading the headlines at the New York Post. Yesterday, the tabloid had a lot about Ponzi-schemer Bernard Madoff. It was "Bernie's Baubbles," Madoff Mauled," and my favorite from yesterdays hearing when prosecutors tried to get him put in jail, "Piggy skips pokey time once again."

Why isn't this guy in jail?
