Friday's Daily Brief

2010-09-17       The Daily Brief     Les Leopold: Poverty Rises as Wall Street Billionaires Whine AP Les Leopold: You'd think the Wall Street moguls would be thankful. Not just thankful -- down on their knees kissing the ground taxpayers walk on and hollering hallelujah at the top of their lungs! These guys profited from puffing up the housing bubble, then got bailed out when the going got tough. Without taxpayer largess, these hedge fund honchos would be flat broke. Instead, they're back to hauling in obscene profits. Yet standing before us are these troubled souls, haunted by visions of persecution. Why? Click here to read more. Elizabeth Warren: Fighting to Protect Consumers I enthusiastically agreed to serve as an Assistant to the President and Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury on the CFPB. The president and I are committed to the same vision -- leveling the playing field again. Eric Boehlert: Why Won't Forbes Defend Its Obama Story? Forbes magazine and the editors on the masthead have apparently taken a vow of silence when it comes to talking about the magazine's error-filled, and widely condemned, Obama cover story. Why the silence? Andy Borowitz: Delaware Masturbators March Against O'Donnell Carrying signs reading, "O'Donnell: Hands Off Our Masturbation," the angry masturbators clogged downtown Wilmington, stopping traffic for blocks. Rev. Jesse Jackson: An Open Letter to Our Nation's Leaders We in the US possess the greatest resources and wealth ever known to humankind. So to have over 44 million people -- 14% of our population -- and 20% of our children living in poverty strains the soul of America. John Robbins: Are So-Called 'Eco-Terrorists' Falsely Prosecuted? More than a few public officials have been labeling as "terrorists" people whose beliefs threaten the status quo. If MLK Jr. or Gandhi were alive today, would they be prosecuted as terrorists?     HuffPost News Pope UK Visit: 5 Men Arrested Over Alleged Threat To Pope Benedict XVI Sarah Palin Heading To Iowa To Headline Reagan Dinner Fox NFL Analyst Brian Baldinger: Ines Sainz Was 'Asking For It' Rush Limbaugh Falls For Wikipedia Hoax About Judge Roger Vinson Scarlett Johansson's Mango Ads: Photoshopped?
