Bernard Lawrence Madoff (pronounced "made-off")(born April 29, 193
is an American businessman and former Chairman of the Nasdaq stock market. He started the Wall Street firm Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC in 1960 and was its chairman until December 11, 2008, when he was arrested and charged with securities fraud.
Wouldn't it be swell if we found out that the Heritage Foundation and the AEI would have to close their doors and lay off some analysts because their clients were bleeding money?
"Thank for the past 30 years and twisting the world into "free market rules rule" but we are going to have cut back on our donations. As a company with Enterprise in your name I'm sure you will find new productive jobs for your fellows. Maybe some of the Universities will take them."
Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, which is in the process of liquidation, was one of the top market maker businesses on Wall Street, often functioning as a "third-market" provider that bypassed "specialist" firms and directly executed orders over-the-counter from retail brokers.

On December 11, 2008, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents arrested Madoff on a tip-off from his sons, Andrew and Mark, and charged him with one count of securities fraud. On the day prior to his arrest, Madoff told his senior executives at the firm that the management and advisory segment of the business was "basically, a giant Ponzi scheme."
There's no possible way for a Madoff scheme to flourish, with a functioning Securities and Exchange Commission.
Since the age of Reagan, defanging the SEC has been a central tenet of "free market" deregulation dogma.
They have succeeded beyone their wildest dreams, and this Madoff catastrophe is a result.
Before his arrest, Madoff was a prominent businessman and philanthropist.
Let's guess what comes next: "Among Madoff's marks were Steven Spielberg..."
Madoff started his firm in 1960 with an initial investment of $5,000 that he said was earned from working as a lifeguard and installing sprinklers.

Please give me what they are smoking. Please. I really, really need it. It's been a tough week.
By the way, I'd like to suggest that we focus our anger not at the general category of "bankers" but at the more specific category of investment bankers or even the "shadow bankers" or "shadow investment community."
These are the people who created the 30x CDS and said that they were fine. They were the ones who wanted out of regulation and they are the ones who are demanding the bailout or "we'll take the country down with us!"
I say this because just like lumping all the people in one religion is a disservice to that religion, so too is dumping all bankers into one catagory.
At first, the firm made markets (quoted bid and ask prices) via the National Quotation Bureau's Pink Sheets. In order to compete with firms that were members of the New York Stock Exchange, the firm began to use information technology to disseminate its quotes. After a trial run, the technology the firm helped develop became the NASDAQ.

An estimated 16 million motorists will take to the roads over the festive season, while Heathrow marked the start of the Christmas getaway yesterday with its second busiest day this year.
But motorways and airports are predicted to be quieter than previous years as the credit crunch convinces many people to spend Christmas at home. It is estimated that there will be 2 million fewer motorists on the road than last year, and airport operator BAA expects some respite in its usually crowded terminals, with 373,000 fewer people travelling compared with last year.
The Christmas break will also be the longest for 16 years for thousands of workers sent home by cash-strapped employers, with some staff not returning to work until 19 January. Car workers will be among those facing a month's enforced holiday, with Ford, Aston Martin and Vauxhall sending staff home early after closing down plants temporarily. The Federation of Small Businesses estimates that about 500,000 firms will close from Monday until 5 January: the longest hiatus since 1992.

Madoff's firm was "the first prominent practitioner" of "paying for order flow," in other words paying a broker to execute a customer's order through Madoff, which has been called a "legal kickback." Using this method, the firm became the largest dealer in NYSE-listed stocks in the U.S., trading about 15% of transaction volume in these stocks.

According to the authorities, the sons confronted their father, asking him how the firm could pay bonuses if it could not pay investors, prompting Madoff's admission that he was "finished," after which they reported him to the authorities.
The SEC relies on tips, they have very few agents and they are overwhelmed by the number of companies they are supposed to track. At one time like 7 out of the top 10 spots were open and weren't being filled. Partly this was because the money people could make in the private world was much greater and partly because they didn't have a lot of respect in the community.
I have a relative who considers himself the smartest of the smart when it comes to money and investing. He would be a great person to join the SEC so that he could explain all the tricks that he figured out.
Madoff was also a major contributor to the Democratic party.

Same with the IRS. But the IRS takes the time to do net worth analyses on suspects, and develop a case whreby there is no apparent reason why the suspect has become so wealthy without ever declaring any taxable income.
The same with the SEC. Madoff was sending weird signals throughout Wall Street for a decade with his 10-12% every year return.
It just can't be done legitimately.

One of the smartest blogs around (and one that not uncommonly links to This Place) is Sean Carroll's "Cosmic Variance". Sean talks about a Foreign Policy article on the ten worst predictions of 2008. You'll like this bit:
“If [Hillary Clinton] gets a race against John Edwards and Barack Obama, she’s going to be the nominee. Gore is the only threat to her, then. … Barack Obama is not going to beat Hillary Clinton in a single Democratic primary. I’ll predict that right now.” —William Kristol, Fox News Sunday, Dec. 17, 2006
Weekly Standard editor and New York Times columnist William Kristol was hardly alone in thinking that the Democratic primary was Clinton’s to lose, but it takes a special kind of self-confidence to make a declaration this sweeping more than a year before the first Iowa caucus was held. After Iowa, Kristol lurched to the other extreme, declaring that Clinton would lose New Hampshire and that “There will be no Clinton Restoration.” It’s also worth pointing out that this second wildly premature prediction was made in a Times column titled, “President Mike Huckabee?” The Times is currently rumored to be looking for his replacement." (the FP article.)
Sean ends with this:
Of course, asking Bill Kristol to predict the future is like asking Rod Blagojevich to head a good-government task force. Here’s my prediction: Kristol will continue to say dumb things, next year and far into the future. And get paid handsomely for doing so.
I was hoping Obama would chose Father Guido Sarducci to deliver the inaugural invocation.

In his powerful yet compassionate voice, Pastor Rick Warren sounds the clarion call to "remember the reason for the season," taking readers back in time to the most wonderful story of all -- the birth of the baby Jesus. When he was just a small boy, young Rick asked his parents if they could celebrate Christmas with a birthday party for Jesus -- and the tradition began that the Warrens have upheld for over fifty years. Now through stirring imagery and compelling personal insights, The Purpose of Christmas honors the significance and promise of this cherished holiday.
Pastor Warren encourages readers to identify and confront what drains peace from their lives. Warren explains that the way to respond to these peace-robbers is to learn how to surrender to God's will and not feel defeated or discouraged when life does not go as planned. True peace of mind is found by having an unshakeable faith in God -- knowing that his empowering Spirit will guide his children through life's challenges.
Beautifully written, The Purpose of Christmas will stir readers to honor the true significance of Christmas and to nurture God's gifts of love and peace in this world.

I'm in Love with a Drug Dealer's Son!
Bristol: "My mama said that I should stay away from Levi 'cause they are white trash, but I LOVED him and when I found out his mama was a dealer I just didn't want to believe it. But my mama had the cops investigate him and his mama, and she got arrested. I LOVE LEVI and I HATE my MAMA!"
Jerry: Let's bring out Levi and his mother. (Hugs and kisses all around)
Now let's bring out the woman who had Levi's mother ARRESTED! Gov. Sarah Palin. (Boos and Hisses)
Sarah: "I was just trying to follow the RULE of LAW! I want the best for my little girl and marrying into THAT family is not my idea of the best."
(Sherry Johnston comes flying off the couch toward Sarah Palin) "You BITCH! You ruined my life! That tramp daughter of yours seduced my son. Look at him and look at her. He could do better. She doesn't deserve my Levi's seed! I hope you get impeached!"
Jerry: Careful Sherry, the Gov. could declare you an enemy combatant!
Sarah: "Well Jerry, I didn't win the race, and I'm sorry that Sherry is so upset, I have nothing but love for Levi, but I really have to wonder about the safety of my grandchild if Sherry ever had to babysit. I mean do they leave drugs just lying around the house?"
Sherry: "Listen Caribu Barbie, if it wasn't for your daughter throwing her self at Todd and the McCain camp threatening my life if he didn't say he was going to marry Bristol, we wouldn't be here now. I wouldn't be here now. If you want to know who one of my biggest clients are look no further than your OWN HOME!"
Sarah Palin: I have no idea what you are talking about.

(CNN) -- Sponsors of the California ballot measure that banned same-sex marriage is seeking to nullify thousands of marriages performed between gay and lesbian couples.
The sponsors have filed three lawsuits with the state Supreme Court seeking to nullify those marriages. In addition to seeking the nullifications, the sponsors also filed responses to lawsuits seeking to strike down the ballot initiative.
Proposition 8 supporters also announced the addition of Kenneth Starr to their legal team. Starr will serve as lead counsel and argue their case to the Supreme Court.
Starr, the dean of Pepperdine Law School, investigated the suicide of Clinton deputy White House counsel Vince Foster and the Whitewater affair. The $70 million investigation turned up evidence of President Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky and led to Clinton's impeachment by the House of Representatives. He was acquitted by the Senate.

Sorry its that time of year.
well, i don't know about you guys, but i don't see getting knocked up at 18 or 20 as necessarily that huge of a problem. and i also don't see it necessarily as a failure of parenting.
i think to view it absolutely as a parenting failure is to remove all responsibility from the knocked up one and her partner. birth control and abortion can be had. it's not 1960 anymore.
i will probably be shouted down, as everyone's mileage may vary.
but i think it is a mistake to lay all blame at the parents' door for what a teen boy and girl did.
it wasn't the pregnancy that messed my life, btw; it was the high handed and religious, adults who knew so much better than i what was best for me at 18, and especially the unconscionable way they brutally excersized their control over the outcome for me and my baby. they really knew how to fuck pregnant women over, and they felt no shame whatsoever in doing it.

Good points, Kidnap. Very good. I think some of us get so annoyed with Palin, et al., that we spill it over onto Bristol and people like her. Frankly, the only issue I have with Palin and her daughter's pregnancy is how Palin was all kind and generous about respecting her daughter's decision to have the baby, while soliciting support from the ranks of people who'd deny other young women either the agency or the means of making decisions about their pregnancies.
Cindy Lou Who?

What I objected to was the way the GOP for 3 decades used family values as a political kudgel only to then claim that personal behavior is no ones business.
Not to mention the sanctimonious asses who bleat about unwed pregnancies in the black community.
Tlazolteotl and Kidnap.
You know I was SO oblivious to so much of this stuff growing up. I'm so grateful I had a couple of female housemates that clued me into ALOT.
One was quite the sexual aggressor. Her boyfriend couldn't believe how sex positive she was. I came home from work one day with a cold. She also had a cold and I figured she would be in her room sleeping or watching TV. The door was open and she was on her knees giving her boyfriend a bj. I did a double take, said, "Oh I'm sorry I didn't know you had company" and ran away.
She came out later and we talked.
I apologized for surprising her she said it was no big deal she didn't intent to have guests but her boyfriend had called to invite her out to lunch.

Phil Collins has talent, but like Obama he goes for the money and fame.
"Here is 'Sususudo', one of my personal favorites!"

Early Genesis were good, despite Phil Collins
Collins was a great drummer, just needed someone elses guidance.

Oh yeah, anything 60s/70s was good. Post 1980 blows chunks. Boomers sold out. Gen X are far reich wingers. Gen Y are idiots.
"Gee, your hair smells TERRIFIC!"
how about psssssst?
Well, every concert I ever went to I was on the floor, mostly leaning on the stage. (in the days when that was allowed) I was always wasted beyond belief. Get to event, buy concert t, wrap around neck, begin the effort to get up front, listen to music way too loud in front of speakers the size of your house and smoke as much weed as possible.
Oldster: SIT in a fucking seat? Drink, instead of smoke, and no concert t-shirt (almost in dress clothes for gawds sake) Music that isn't even close to loud and with people that I actually remember and were old. (my age)
That is the definition, not really a number.
pregnant teens are a fact of life
And we have people who want to ensure that there are more of them because they don't want sex education taught, they don't want kids to know about contraception and they insist that this "abstinence" nonsense works.
in case you care.

Time to go make dinner. l8r!
but pregnant teens are a fact of life and some of them make very good parents.
they have the energy to keep up when older people may not, that's for sure.
i think it may focus some and give motive where there was none before.
i don't promote teen pregnancy by any stretch. (prevention, prevention, prevention, that's my motto) i just say it probably is not the end of the world the way we sometimes make it out to be. and that i just don't think it's the grandparents' fault.

Terry C, I have an idea for a business. It'd be good around this time of year. We could heat peoples' swimming pools. We'd get a bunch of us flashin' women together (we could call it an easy bake coven, but that name's been taken, alas) and make the rounds in our pink RV with stars on the ceiling, mumble our faux incantations, put our hands in the water, and zippedy doo dah, it's time for a winter swim.

(My comedic mind went into overdrive. I was DYING to make a comment about this. But which ONE?
"So you decided to dine in?"
"Is he dessert or an appetizer?"
"Still not well enough for solid foods?"
I think I stammered something and made a note to think of the perfect comment at a later date.
Interestingly she once told me that she had a sexual dream about me (she was very much involved with her boyfriend at the time) and she said, "It was WILD you had a HUGE (slang term for a certain body part) and knew how to use it.
I said, "I'm glad I'm able to satisfy you in your dreams. I'm sorry I can't confirm or deny the other part of your dream."

Oddly, enough, my first concert was Blood, Sweat & Tears.
David Clayton-Thomas came out with a "Flying V" guitar, which I'd never seen before, for "Go Down Gamblin'," not yet released. Rather "hard rock" for the time.

After my lunch with him at the hoagie shop, I saw him in concert that evening. It was before he was really understood. He and his band(I loved the two drummers) played for about an hour and did not get a good audience response, so he says "I guess I know where I am, this is for you assholes" and begins to play country music. Blew me away.

As much as I'd LOVE to hear the stories I applaud your restraint. I tell my clients. "The internet is forever." Don't be putting into print stuff that you don't want to be associated with, even if you do it under a nym. And especially if you are going to be stupid and talk about violence or defamation.
That's also one of the reasons I rarely swear, but I don't mind if others do in the right venue. It's one of those things that I don't want the other side to use against me. When you are dealing with a regulated industry like the radio industry they like to hold the "high moral ground" of not having any swearing. Of course they also have a seven second delay and other people looking out for them.
If someone wanted to ask if I stood behind what I wrote I could say yes. I know that I respect the need of pseudonyms but I know that a person(s) motivated to attack me could find out who I was and would use my writings against me, I try not to give them ammo. I don't have the powers of the state to declare my communications "a national secret", delete millions of emails, or to have someone arrested and fined for a privacy violation. (Like the kid who hacked Palin's Yahoo account.
So save the stories until we are all at a EschaCon Party together!

My roommate is visiting his mother
I hope it goes well
And the Barenaked Ladies guy too!
I miss TPB.
Rush was my first concert!
Most frequent, probably the Ramones, well over 20+ times.
worst show?
maybe van halen. just horrible. a crime against humanity. terrible. ear assault. an insult to the equipment.
I think I saw Rush five times. I'm more embarrassed by that than seeing Kiss, once.
The Village People opened for someone I saw once, and so did Kiss. Nothing could be done. Smoke.
Bruce played four hours.
When ZZ TOP played two and quit, I thought there were going to be riots.
.
I just read 'This Wheel's on Fire', Levon Helm's side of the Band story... has a real knockabout charm to it. That Ronnie Hawkins was a real piece of work.
I'd like to see one of the Midnight Rambles that they put on in Levon's barn in upstate New York.

Some fuckin 19 year old kid from the Hartstown VFD burnt it down last year. Not much left except the hotel for halloween and the Barbra J ferry ride. The latter is a good party.

The Rick Warren interview is on Dateline now, view at risk of putting your foot thru the tubes.

You should check out this thread at FDL yesterday. They got a very confused person talking about marriage. He clearly was a Rick Warren supporter.
Jane Hamsher was on CNN talking about Rick Warren and his views. In the treads we got a couple of posters who decided to tell Jane how wrong she is about the bible and the word marriage.
It was rather amusing but also sad because the arguments he was using were some of the same as our least favorite talk radio host.
He was also going on about sex as a sin of the flesh. It was like he was getting his views of the bible from the Mom in the movie Carrie. I expected him to call breasts "dirty pillows"
Several people, including myself, tried to engage him, but he couldn't support his arguments.
I blame his teachers. I do wish I could have found out who there were.
Here is his most bizarre comment.

Pet peeve: in Warren discussions, people referring to Obama's "calculations" on this issue. It's an article of faith for me, and perhaps a naive one, that Obama didn't make this selection to attempt to cut into this or that voting bloc with an eye toward 2012, but that he believes this was fundamentally the right thing to do. I disagree with him on that point, but I just don't see him as the type to view everything through such a coldly political lens.
stevie and jeff.
i've seen jackson and bob the most times. i don't even like jackson that much. but i did see dylan run on the bus, 15 feet from me, and he was a scared... i flashed him a peace sign so it's all good.
I only saw the Dead once, but I'm still listening to one of the fucking solos.
Rush played my high school, two years before I got there.

Thanks I will pass ... Rick Warren is the week's big winner, no? Whether he gives the invocation or Obama pulls him, it doesn't matter, he's officially "America's Pastor" now ...
James Dobson, Joel Osteen, Bishop Jakes, Franklin Graham, sorr-eee! You are the week's biggest losers!!!
Early Genesis were good, despite Phil Collins.

Should never have let him out from behind the drums...

Thanks for that one, annie. I really enjoyed it.
I just sent it to a friend who's been a Rush fan for about as long as Rush as been a band.

my Springsteen story
I was asked my some DFH's I knew to go and pass out leaflets for some cause at a concert at the Vet. said nah...
Asked the guy how it went and he said well, bruce heard what we were doing and invited us backstage before the show and talked with out for 1/2 an hour.
right up there with my decision to turn down a job writing for rawstory
worst show?
Deep Purple - the classic lineup with Richie Blackmore, Jon Lord and Ian Gillan. They just didn't get it together that night.
But the opening band was Electric Light Orchestra. Few had heard of them then, they blew the roof off!

Bubbles when he was with Sandbox. They were pretty good, I liked Collide but there are no good audios of it.
i amout. i recommend umphrey's mcgee if you want good jamband with a little metal edge to it. and yonder mountain string band if you like jamgrass. also good in this genre (less jammy) are infamous stringdusters.
annie is on, which is no big deal.
but, if she talks about hunter...
Thanks Spocko, I'll do that now.
Laterz.
I love Willie Nelson...have never seen him live. - Shared Humanity
a-fucking-mazing, saw him just this last summer @ Santa Barbara Bowl old bastard did 2 hours - said he owed his stamina to "running and pot" . my bros got me b-day tickets for this Jan' @ The Majestic Ventura Theatre...

Rush was my first concert!
John Denver. The Los Angeles Forum. 1973. I was 12.

If I had but weed enough and time...
Glad you liked it Terry, hope your friend does too.
we saw a lot of Dead shows while in high school, but my favorite was 3 nights at the Cape Cod Coliseum. no wait, the outdoor show in Lewiston, Maine. no wait...
when I was at NYU I saw them play at Radio City Music Hall. by then I was already seeing Television, and Ramones, and the first Somic Youth shows, and Dead Kennedy's.
later, out West the Chinese New Year's shows at the Kaiser in Oakland were also really good, but by then the Dead was a nostalgia act for me.
Saw them in a small club just before they released "More Songs About Buildings And Food". Cutting edge...
FeralLiberal
Kool..
Wow. Music in the blood.
I wish I'd paid more attention back then....
The Mississippi River Delta was pretty crazy. Lots of shit going down at the time.
My best concert is still Led Zeppelin at Nassau Coliseum in 70, I think. Maybe 71.
worst show?
Stills and Young at the Capital Center. Neal Young had an orange leisure suit on. Stephen Stills was so high he actually fell on the drum set.
Glad you liked it Terry, hope your friend does too.
annie
She will. MAJOR Rush fan.
good evening, everyone.
got some comics with kids at the homepage.

took a younger friend to see blue oyster cult - second concert for him ever.
his comment on leaving?
wow that was even louder than linda ronstat
Best show ever, Redd Kross at the Old Ritz, doing lots and lots of stuff from "Jesus Christ Superstar." Outstanding.

heh.
No surprise there.
Damn.
Had the chance to see Willie & Dylan play the minor league ballpark at Rochester MN (hour+ drive, no big deal) and passed it up... those were supposed to be pretty fun shows.
Some fuckin 19 year old kid from the Hartstown VFD burnt it down last year.
I didn't even realize, but that would make Halloween even spookier.

You needed to be a Banger Sister. My high school friends all call me that now, and I'm not quite sure why.

Send her these, Terry, if she hasn't seen it. This is part one, there are three.
If she loves Rush, she'll love this.

Well, laugh all you want but we had a great time!

It started my lifelong love of acoustic music....
Everybody's gonna laugh, but Coldplay was pretty good last summer. Funny and self-deprecating.
