Now we know how the Obama Administration allowed those AIG bonuses to go through: “they knew nothing<\/em><\/strong><\/a>!” Well, OK then. It’s a shame they didn’t back the Wyden\/Snowe amendment, then<\/a> (might have saved them a bit of embarrassment, eh?). Of course, the amendment made it into the Senate version of the bill, but somehow it evaporated in conference. Funny how that happens. Chris Dodd had an amendment that would have retroactively limited bonuses, too, which the Obama Administration opposed<\/a> (but now they seem to be trying to throw Dodd under the bus). Wussup with that?<\/p>\n

In more important news, the President has filled out his NCAA bracket<\/a>, though they’re only teasing us with his Final Four picks: Louisville, North Carolina, Memphis and Pittsburgh. Not Syracuse?

Gee, I hope Pope “eggs” Benedict has SU losing in the first round. If he picks up to go all the way, I’m gonna be bummed.<\/p>\n

Have a happy hump day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
