The Wall Street bailout

[ellen_datlow]

I don't know if you're as outraged as I am about the Bush Administration's proposed bailout of the Wall Street debacle by giving a blank check to the assholes who got us into the situation in the first place but if you are, you might want to contact some people in the government here:
