Not a bailout, but a bail hearing. Jim Hightower has more, but here's the money quote:

Henry Paulson went running after the Wall Street Gang – not to arrest them, but to cover their wrongdoing with a $700-billion bailout.

That’s more than $2,000 for every man, woman, and child in our land – victims being forced to pay the perpetrators of a legalized theft that has wrecked the housing market, eliminated thousands of jobs, and sent our economy into a deep tailspin.

Grow up. Be adults about this. And for God's sake, be serious.
