Monday Myopia, or bankers are only evil until they give you a job

Tracy Postert is the exception which proves the rule. She went down to Occupy Wall Street to protest corporate greed, and promptly landed a job with a Wall Street financial services firm.

Her initiative paid off. Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst for John Thomas Financial Brokerage walked by Zuccotti Park and was intrigued. He called Ms. Postert in for an interview, and offered her a job as a junior analyst evaluating medical companies as potential investments.

She jumped at the opportunity. No surprise there!

Don't take this as any kind of omen though. There isn't a whole lot of demand on Wall Street for puppet wranglers, no matter what the nice lady at the student loan office might have said.

Nonetheless, other opportunities abound. Surely one of the brainiacs crapping in the street is able to solve this puzzle? A stint at Bletchley Park awaits…

Jon Corzine really doesn't want to talk. To anyone. He's still in hiding, but his lawyer is burning up the phone lines in an attempt to postpone upcoming congressional hearings into the demise of MF Global. But Congress isn't budging, at least publicly, although Corzine's status as a former U.S. Senator ought to entitle him to a little courtesy, if he asks nicely.

The word is though, Corzine will plead the Fifth. And since he's something like Barry's Numero Uno Wall Street Fund Raising Dude, anything he does say will be used by the Republicans to paint Obama as cozy with the very same fat cats he's agitating against in sympathy with Occupy Wall Street.

Thanks Santa, all I want for Christmas is Jon Corzine in an orange jumpsuit.

Speaking of Barry's re-election. How's this for a winning slogan?

"I'm Barack Obama, and George Soros approved this message."

The merger between the Obama White House and the Soros-funded Think Progress slime-machine website is now complete.

A senior Obama campaign official now runs CAP and Think Progress. A senior CAP strategist now helps run the 2012 campaign from inside the White House. The full embrace of CAP and Think Progress by the White House is just another sign that 2012 will be the nastiest campaign ever, with the truth the first victim.

You saw what Politico (another bunch of lefty cheerleaders masquerading as a "news" site) did to Herman Cain. That was just the warmup. Barry can't run on his record. So into the muck he'll go, lower and dirtier than any campaign in history, with his sycophants in the media leading the way. Count on it.

Our job is to ensure that he gets a permanent Hawaiian vacation. Call it a "one lei" ticket to retirement.
