I'm for the Wall Street Occupiers. But will they accept me when they find out I sell packaged mortgage default instruments to children? ↗

I'm told leather drives men up the wall. I like wearing it because it because it feels nice. ↗

George Bush taking credit for the wall coming down is like the rooster taking credit for the sun rising. ↗
