In reply to Mitt Romney to Tony Soprano: Eat your heart out, pal. I'm the bust out master!

Gregory Mankiw, Romney Family Consigilere, speaks in praise of the bust-out ethic:

"it would be irrational for savings and loans [CEOs] not to loot.”

As I have reflected overnight, I'm becoming more and more suspicicious that the appearance in the Sopranos plot of Ramsey Outdoor was no mere coincidence--after all, the appointment of receiver is a fairly dramatic equitable remedy, which implies that money is coming in the front door and leaving through the back without stopping first and checking in at the register,.

Yo can have any drink you want, as long as it's a fifteeen dollar drink...OJ will do.. in fact,unless you wish to limit yourself to topless emporia, you will be denied alcohol in California or New York, the solons of which states, after careful reflection, have concluded that the bringing together in the same room of pussy, testosterone and alcohol may lead to explosive chemical interactions.

Great story about your sinecure at Ramsay Outdoor Stores.

I finally got it as to why these phony money laundering companies work so well. The stupid government is never looking at the Revenue side of the balance sheet. In other words, you can have a crap load of phony sales receipts and deposits---hey, that's free enterprise. But what the auditors always look at is your Expenses, always out to prove that you're trying to get away with something, deduct your expenses to Las Vegas or something like that. Meanwhile you can have all kinds of legitimate expenses to yourself, including salary, whatever. Good idea to throw them a bone, like deducting too much for lunch---not too much penalty involved and throws them off track.

Great post.

You are funny, what a story.

When I was inside one of those joints I thought it would be hilarious not to order a real drink and kept telling the waitress, in Andy Griffith style, "Jes bring me a bag orange drink". I got thrown out on my ass by a very big bouncer.

ok thanks,

You need a less confusing headline, and it has to provide a good enough political reason to justify clicking on it.

See that's what I mean...

Tony gets his nephew Christopher a lousy two thousand dollar a week no show job where he still has to sign in and out each day, and it's no wonder he gets no respect from the kid...

WSJ, the Doll company, nepotism/crony capitalism, Rmoney's personal venture that also failed:

Mr. Romney introduced a brother-in-law of his, Rodney Davies, to Lifelike officials. Lifelike hired him, though Mr. Thiess said Mr. Romney didn't pressure it to. Mr. Davies eventually became a vice president at a $100,000 salary, court documents show.

Yeah, the guy that gives you millions provides his brother-in-law for a 6 figure position, and no pressure is applied to hire him? That is merit based free enterprise, GOP style!

It's not like I'm shy on the topic--I used to "bark" for some of the strip joints in North Beach, and if a couple of guys walked by and my usual discussion of the treats they could expect inside failed to move them, I would sometimes be so exasperated that I would yell down the hill after them "Hey, man...These girls are shaved!"
