How Will We Live Without Quantitative Easing?

Dan Wasserman, 6/24/13:

The head of the Federal Reserve Board tentatively saying that, considering that we've been in a mild recovery for several years, and contingent on economic indicators continuing to get better, then he's going to finally make big banks pay a tiny pittance for the money they get from the government instead of continuing to give it to them for free...well, that's like yelling fire in a crowded theater, isn't it?

TL; DR: bankers are worried that this particular free ride might be over, and are capturing profits to add to their already bulging pockets. Cry me a river.

Rage in the Cage

Dan Wasserman, 1/31/12:

I desperately hope Wasserman is intending to draw a comparison between serial wife-switcher Gingrich and staid Mormon homebody Romney, because the alternative -- that they're about to engage in some marital activity of their own -- is too shudder-inducing to contemplate.

It's so sad when a billionaire scandal-rag owner finally gets the what-for he's given other people for the last forty years.

No, wait. What's the other thing? Glorious.
