Ladies & Gentlemen

I'm back. New subject. Remember last week when Governor Christie was chewed out for insulting Loretta Weinberg? The Talking Heads were upset because she was elderly. She was a victim of Bernie Madoff. I have no great sympathy for Mrs. Weinberg; she's been in politics long enough to know barbs fly around all the time. As for being a, "Victim." Come on!! People invested with Bernie because they believed what little info he gave them; "I make money every month whether the market is up or down." Even I (and I'm no financial genius) would have been suspicious. And Bernie had a minimum that he would accept for investment - five million dollars. Anyone with five mil to gamble with - sorry I can't cry for them. What does piss me off about Bernie Madoff is that a couple people went to the SEC and reported that he was running a Ponzi scheme and no one at the SEC listened. A watchdog agency sponsored by our government let this creep keep going. Bernie should have been shut down years before he was. So, Mrs. Weinberg, in the future, if it is too good to be true, stay away from it.
