Now I KNOW our justice system is stacked.
Poor poor smirking Bernie.
He’s 71 years old and shouldn’t be in jail.
He made a mistake. He mailed more than a million dollars worth of valuables and jewelry to friends and relatives and had $173,000,000 in signed checks in his meager drawers. But that’s no reason to revoke his bail or anything is it?
Now see, I was hoping they would throw him in a nice cell with a guy named Bubba. And then some poor soul could loot the SOB’s $7,000,000 penthouse, but it’s not to be. No sir.
The law protects Bernie. He says he made an “innocent mistake”. No kidding. You can’t make this shit up. If you believe Bernie made a mistake, raise your hand.
So, you and I — and millions of other sick and tired Americans, including and especially the people this sack of crap bilked– got to watch his dirty smirk as he walked again today.
My only regret is they didn’t let him walk alone.
In the dark.
With no police there to protect him.
Right after they notified the people he ripped off that Bernie was leaving the building.
Some schmuck who bounced too many checks is serving out his term in Rahway right now. Bernie, on the other claw, is smoking a Fuentes Double Corona on the terrace of his seven million dollar pad on the Upper East Side.
If you have a powerful enough camera lens, you can probably catch his perpetual smirk.
I guess his name isn’t Martha.
Now we all know what the term “Justice is blind” really means.

"This is not culture. This is not custom. This is criminal."
Maybe this is an area of “expertise” the Latin Kings can uphold. This guy deserves the worst of the worst. And take the judge along with him. Just another example that if you have the big bucks (and don’t let it bother you if those bucks belong to somebody else) you can enjoy “freedom” on your terms.
Gag producing!
he’ll sneak a few more gift transactions & the feds can trace hidden assets.
they let the bastage out for good reason.
UW, great comparison to Martha, didn’t she get 5 months in prison for lying to investigators? Yet Bernie embezzles millions and ….Of course, he doesn’t have scarey lady parts, and he isn’t your average run of the mill conman, so he gets respect. What a sad tale this is.
Really, I never watch Martha, but I did today (for 5 minutes) because it was the only decent and uplifting thing I could find on my basic cable lineup. She paid a price and got on with her life. To be admired.
Sarah Palin is so right; there is a big class thing here in America. If you’re a member of the privileged, there’s smooth sailing. Teddy – no murder charge. GWB – no AWOL problem. etc.
I’m not even certain that Ken Lay is dead. Not much coverage of the funeral and such. With all his money, I’m certain it would have been easy for him to go somewhere and become invisible.
UW,
My comments should be looking up, I’m using my new voice activation program so I can dictate, my rather than type with my11 thumbs.
raGing,
I left you a note at Zoe’s late last night to thank you for all your support and encouragement. This program is more than amazing.
P. S. Okay I’m working on it. The program can really and truly learn. The retired teacher is in her element, and there’s no discipline problem.
This guy made off (smart program: “made off” is how my dictation program wrote Madoff. Artificial intelligence indeed) should be excommunicated. He even stole from Elie Weisel.
Gehenna awaits you, Bernie! And here are no terraces down there.
Did you hear Madoff even scammed his own sister?
What kind of creep would do that?
Pam, you’re not the only one with doubts Ken Lay is dead….probably toasting Bernie Madoff’s caper somewhere in the south seas.
Joe the Plumber is now Joe the war reporter. Asks Obama to help Israel bring down BO’s buddies in Hamas. Like asking one snake to turn on others. Good luck with that, Joe. Joe also says the media doesn’t give the full story there.
The media is one-sided? Gasp! Say it aint so Joe!!!
Mary that crap is going to my puppy’s head…she can barely fit though the door so cut it out.
Logistics Monster (Diamond Tiger) is shutting down.
;-(
Sorry to burst your bubble folks, but the biggest con was the one perpetrated by Barack Obama. He conned America into making him president!
That smirk will be wiped off Bernie’s face when he is ultimately sentenced. No more ‘house arrest’, no more special treatment. It’ll be 6 months community service. Several hours a day, every day, for 6 long months. That’s a lot of time for Bernie to think about his ‘mistake’.
just kidding around…waiting to vote again
They have extended the weblog polls through tomorrow, the 13th. Not that it matters, we know how that rolls. But do it anyway.
Hal, LOgistics Monster is a great loss to the blogisphere. I do hope Tiger and family are ok. This is kind of sudden. Now I’m worried.
Mary, super! I hope your new software gives you relief! I know that you find it hard ot type. Good for you girl!
Yup Susan H. That’s why I call Madoff the biggest “unelected” thief. We have elected officals who outdo him any day!
Hey Uppity – thanks for the great note and thoughts – I will be in touch. You will still see me here and there…
Diamond
Not many of you know this but Madoff made off with prizes that were meant for Uppity Woman.
I am reposting the post on the end of a thread that most of you never saw because UW is too modest to boast of her Award. She should be congratulated even though Madoff ruined the awarding of the prizes he cannot take away the honor of the Award itself!
The re-post below contains the back story…
“UW: It is so cool that you responded to me, very few other bloggers take the time to respond to their visitors’ posts; I am honored. I have always loved your site and been a lurker, only when the weblog thing came up did I feel compelled to post…( and ROAR!)
That whole thing just stinks!
Then you posted this and I felt compelled again to post…
“UW said: “They are not progressives. They are regressives. They hijacked the progressive word is all…. Regressives have set both gender and racial relations back a minimum of 40 years. Homophobics are NOT Progressives either. And they certainly aren’t Liberals…. I don’t give a shit if they call me a Republican. I know I’m a Democrat and I am far more “progressive” than somebody who won’t take a photo with the mayor of San Fran or who wouldn’t stand up against Prop 8. They don’t call women C*nts either”
As a gay man, I thank you for that comment; I’ve been saying what you said above for along time, but just not as well… I am so glad to hear it come from someone as respected as you on these matters!
As far as the rest of the post, I have been saying the pretty much the same thing about that for a long time as well… so let’s just say… you rock! I don’t know any blogger that I visit that could have put it any better… and I know I certainly couldn’t have!
You are my favorite blogger of the week and in honor of that, by the power vested in me through the following minimum qualifications as determined by the Gay Men’s Membership Committee; I, being a homosexual of at least 40 years of age; my hatred of all things Obama, and his hatred of gays; my fear of Totalitarianism, Marxism, Communism and Socialism; and what would happen to the gay community, if our country heads down that path; I hereby declare you an Honorary Gay Man!
In recognition of this honor you will receive the following prizes: a rainbow bumper sticker, an entire Leather Daddy ensemble, in black, complete with assless chaps, an entire kitchen stocked with items from Bosch Appliances, Crate and Barrel, Williams Sonoma, and Pier One Imports, Crystal provided by Waterford, China/Stoneware provided by Mikasa in the “Italian Countryside” collection-elegant yet practical enough for everyday use, Silverware provided by Reed and Barton in the “Classic Braid” pattern, Table, Bed and Bath Lines provided by Leron, on Madison Ave since 1910, and a houseful of furniture and household electronics by any high end company you choose from our exclusive list of suppliers for Gay men! And, the piece de résistance; a Mercury Mariner Hybrid, the world’s best selling hybrid SUV, filled with the entire Louis Vitton Luggage collection!**
Congratulations, on this honor and on behalf of the Honorary Gay Man Membership Committee, Welcome! You now have an opinion and a vote on all matters concerning Gay men!
**Unfortunately, due to Bernard Madoff, who made off with all our money and the stock market disaster of September; the aforementioned prizes are no longer available to Honorary Gay Men, to Gay Men or even regular straight men and women. We regret any inconvenience this may cause, but hey we are suffering here too!
But all is not lost, you still get the rainbow bumper sticker if you send a self addressed stamped envelope to our Secret Headquarters!”
I think we should all congratulate UW and let her know what she means to us all, for being named an Honorary Gay Man, it is an honor bestowed on very few, HRC is one as well, so UW is in very prestigious company!
I checked the results when voting today, and there is clearly some shenanigans with the WebLog Awards! But, UW will always be number 1 in our hearts!
You are a sweetie Topher. I just plain have the best blog members out there. I am truly enjoying my Honorary Gay Man award and would march with you guys any day!
Man, I’m so sick of corruption and coming from a gal from Chicago, that’s saying a lot.
Mary, where did you get the software? Is it very expensive? Does it require a paticular version of an Operating System? Does it require a headset. I
The reason I ask is because I am in the early stages of osteo arthritis… oh I don’t want to go into my personal matters here, what could be more boring to the readers? I apologize to you all!
And, I have other questions as well, and I need to speak to you about a matter of personal matter as well that I seek your advice on…
Can you contact me at: BlueDawgDemocrat@Cox.Net
I would be much obliged, as I value your opinion and would consider it an honor to have you correspond with me!
deadenders, at 5:38 PM: “Mary that crap is going to my puppy’s head…she can barely fit though the door so cut it out.”
Is this how you treat The Staff? That’s dogscrimination. Shame on you.
Come here Zoe, honey, and Auntie Mary will give you a nice biscuit.
Topher,
What a great letter to UW! You echo out with feelings exactly.
I did not forget that you wanted me to let you know about the software but I just started using it late last night. I will try it for another day ,and it will be my pleasure let you know how I like it. Do you do you ever see the “happy new year Topher” note I left you at
Scott’sZoe’s?Woof!
Topher,
Well, clearly I need to train this program a lot more The sentence above was supposed to say “You echo our feelings.” But, so far so good.
“Woof!”
Okay. if that’s an apology to Zoe, you can have your biscuit, too.
Mary Ellen, at 7:37 PM Said:
“Man, I’m so sick of corruption.”
I hear you, girl.
UW, I think some of my comments are landing in spam again.
I had sea kitten for dinner tonight. Thanks to those nutbags at pita I am not supposed to feel guilty about eating fish, and instead I should take them in as pets.
Disgusting about Madoff. Is there anyone in the US that doesn’t want to see his fat greedy ass in jail? Who let him go back to the house arrest thing? A judge, or DA? Sounds suspicious…the guy is caught red-handed trying to squirrel away assets & nothing happens? No justice…anywhere.
Uppity, how nice about your new award! Your legions of loyal Uppity-ites (myself included) are better than the lousy weblog awards any day!
Haha! I had a sea kitten for lunch!
Mary Ellen Said: “I’m so sick of corruption.”
I hear you, girl. I know there has always been corruption, but it is massive now. I’d very much fear that America has gone insane. The election of obarfo proves that.
LOL on Mary Ellen’s remark about Chicago!
It’s high time these fat cats get exactly what they deserve.
No special privileges, we Americans are sick and tired of you rich bastards getting away with murder and living to tell about it.
You bilked millions and millions from people who trusted you, and what did you get, nothing so far, still living the high life.
Even the rich must pay for their crimes, good lawyer or not, money or not, every American who breaks the law must pay.
We are so damned tired of the special treatment these rich assholes are given, simply because of social status, nothing more.
We are tired of being treated as second class in the justice system. If you have no money you’re guilty, but if you have money to fight, you can be with your family tonight, right?
Special treatment, well that is something we regular Americans will never know about.
It’s about time we stopped complaining about our so-called justice system and do something about it.
I am so damn mad I could spit!
UW, I do not even want to know what sea kitten is. And neither does M Kitteh Bill.
Mary, Bill would probably love it.
Typical. That’s all I have to say about this scumbag.
I LOVE the Oliver graphic for the poverty recipes…lolol!!!I made one tonight-diced potatoes, seasonings(s&p, garlic powder, minced onion, dill, paprika), sliced cheese hot dogs-fried up in a pan.
And it took me all day to get on the weblog site to vote. DE is right at the heels of the leader.
sea kittehs are fish.
Bernie has $1 biilion in liquid assets available.
his Sis’ house in Palm bch is worth $1 mil. her son worked for Bernie.
Hannity is prime tonight.
Skelator all gone.
votes are in from the raGing household.
I can has cheeseburger for best pet blog!
Hannity is good tonight. I don’t know what happened to Skelator, he didn’t used to be the way I found him last year.
Did I miss it raGing? Do you have a blog I should go vote for?
I don’t see how someone who could so easily leave the country was not remanded. Oh, wait….nevermind.
Yeah just a mistake. Don’t we all mistakingly write $173 million in checks ready to be mailed out to family members? Sure, I can see how that could happen. A little slip of the pen. A few extra zeros and commas here and there….opps, I meant to send a $100 check to the electric company, not $1,000,000.00 to my cousin Bob! Yeah, it could happen.
Diamond Tiger, I had BETTER see you or I will come get you with a hook!
Mary, PETA is trying to change the name of fish to “sea kittens” so people won’t eat them.
I hear you Daddy’sDarlin and you are dead right!
“PETA is trying to change the name of fish to “sea kittens” so people won’t eat them.”
Good!!!!! Thank for the info, UW.
Yeah,Mary, they said that fish are smart and make good pets. Tell that to thenext guy who gets eaten by a shark.
They have pics of fish on their site with kittie faces. I’m sorry Mary but these people are nuts.I don’t begrudge anybody who wants to be an herbivore. I dont particularly appreciate them forcing their views on me.
Good luck Uppity Woman, I just cast my vote for you!
UW: You said earlier that you would march with us any day; you march with us everyday.
The LGBT Rights Movement is on par with the Women’s Rights Movement.
The affluent mostly white hetero male rulers that govern us, or dominate us, are so afraid of the ERA/WEA passing they are doing everything in their power to make sure it doesn’t.
They are afraid of losing their status and the passage of Women’s Rights would definitely change their status; so they employ every dirty trick they can to maintain their own dominant status; and thereby the status of every other hetero male.
These affluent males have dominated the world for centuries and have condemned and are afraid of everything feminine; they have used the church and the law to keep women subjugated as well as homosexuals.
There were once great societies where homosexuality was accepted, in ancient Greece lovers fought side by side on the battlefield; because who would you fight harder for, your country or someone you loved?
That is why these affluent males are afraid of Women getting equal rights and Gays getting the right to marry, it would turn their world upside down; and their status as the dominant rulers would no longer be accepted as the Status Quo.
This would indeed usher in a new world order and the affluent straight males and their brethren, the rest of the hetero male population, who get their power by proxy from the ruling straight males, would find themselves without status, without power, and they would be no better than anyone else…
This is why they wouldn’t allow Hillary to win the primaries… but that is for another post!
So you do march with us every day, every day you wake up and do what you do you march. You march for equality of every person who is subjugated and downtrodden by the Patriarchal monopoly of the ruling class male.
And I thank you for it!
I love that Uppity called them Pita (as in the bread) instead of Peta! LMAO! Howz about a nice sea kitten samwich on PETA bread!!!!!!
As for Bernie Made-Off…..how the F can you post bail on stolen property? Everything he has should be seized since it was all acquired illegally, so how the hell can he be using stolen funds and property for collateral? NES…what’s your professional opinion on this?
I hope to hell they just want to keep him home so that he can lead them to the money, otherwise, these are the dumbest and most corrupt (he’s probably blackmailing them) aholes on the animal planet!
P.S. Don’t forget about DE when voting!
Thank you Woman Voter! And stick around and comment more!
Topher, you are so right.
I predict that women and LGBT may find themselves working together for sheer numbers! Number make these sleazy politicans take notice. I just can’t believe that the far left isn’t sticking up for either of us, and daring to call themselves progressives!
“I love that Uppity called them Pita ”
seems to fit!
DE I just voted for you and Zoe again.
PETA. They are so freaking stupid…..radical terrorist organization trying to tell everyone what to eat and what to wear. Look, if you want to wear a furry animal skin that smells like a dirty dog when it gets rained on, that’s your own damned perogative! And if you want to eat something that formerly had eyeballs, munch away!
These jerks are such hypocrites…..no one is gonna tell me that I can’t eat a cow or chicken once in a while. I need my animal protein!
surfergirl
I never had you pegged for a bigot. To ease the suffering of sensate creatures who cannot speak for themselves is a good thing, not a bad thing. And PETA is not trying to force its views on you, but to sensitize you to the needs of you fellow beings on this earth.
UW,
PETA is not trying to “f”orce” you to do anything. They are trying to educate the public about the horrific exploitation of animals. While it is true that sharks kill people, it is also true that cat sscratch people. Do we therefore indict all fish and all cats?
I do not believe that this blog site is the place to argue issues of animal welfare. Neither is it the place to demean those of good will who are fighting speciesism.
ACK! I hate peta fights. Mary, honey, I have spent a small fortune on the rescue and care of the least among us in my life. But man is and always will be a omnivore. Now I have no problem if others don’t want to be ommivores. Me? I am not well without some animal protein. It’s as simple as that. I look like shit. I feel like shit and I am shit without it. I am sitting here trying to think of one prehistoric herbivore that survived. PETA does behave like a terrorist group. And they have infiltrated schools with their little Scare tactic “kits”. to shame kids into being vegetarians without their parents’ knowledge, wreaking havoc in families and in at least one case I know of personally, creating an eating disorder. That’s subversive force and they have no idea how much damage they are doing to plenty of little children. And that plain sucks.I do not respect them and they need to cut the crap because some of their campaigns are some of the most offensive stuff I have seen. The next thing I will hear from them is lettuce feels pain when you chop it. I love animals more than I love people. So you have to ask yourself why a person like me would find them just plain odious in their tactics.
And SURFER, you were more than a little rough with your post, girl.
tely surfergirl,
I support PETA and other legitimate animal welfare organizations. I assure you,there is nothing even remotely “freaking stupid” about me or “hypocritical” about my desire to ease the suffering of animals willfully inflicted upon them by vain, greedy, stupid, and selfish people.
For your information, the book Diet for a Small Planet by Frances oore Lappe offers a well written and easy to understand explanation of why you do not need animal protein and the earth cannot afford it.
UW,
I do understand . appreciate, and highly value your love of animals and your efforts on their behalf. Your cat rescue group alone is doing magnificent work to save the innocent. I also agree with you that it is up to the parents to decide what their children should be eating. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with teaching alternatives, as long as those alternatives are not forced upon anyone
And you are 100% right about people not forcing their views on others. I will tell you that whereas I am a vegetarian, my own husband is not. Because we respect each other, neither our taste buds nor sensibilities has ever come close to being an issue.
And believe me, we both really love animals.
Whoa, you and your husband are doing well! I know couples who fight over that all the time! LOL.
UW,
After 47 years of marriage, you get to pick your battles. There are a whole lot better things to fight about than what’s in the refrigerator or on the plate.
It might be instructive to look at the couples and see which are fighting over convictions, and which are fighting over control.
I’m doing better with the typing, but sadly not with the clicking. Maybe I can teach this dictation program to hit the submit comments
For goodness sake: when I said submit comments, above, it did. I’m going to try this again.
It did it!
It sure is nice not to feel like a freak in the typing department anymore. I guess the hardest part is admit ting the need for any kind of assistive device.
LOL
Now when people ignore my comments, I can’t blame it on illegible typing.
Lookin’ Good,Mary!
