There goes Pepe's grant

The foundation... was created in 2002 to promote justice, equality and human dignity and tolerance. Standard pinko party line.

Listed previously at $1 billion, the foundation’s assets were managed by Bernard L. Madoff. Uh, oh. May as well have given the whole pot to Pepe, to create socialist realist art...

Sound advice: “My wife didn’t want to do this,” Friedman said of his decision to trust Madoff. “She wanted to keep the money under the mattress because she didn’t understand it. Unfortunately, in retrospect, she was right. But at the time we were living so good.” You don't say.

Predictably.

Precisely Pepe. It is useless having a Party line when the Party aims for it by means which make the goals impossible. Human dignity cannot abide without human freedom, and tolerance cannot abide without the rights of men. And the Pinko Parties are all about State power to engineeer society and squat about human freedom and rights.
AI is just tired of the hypocrisy of it all, I'd wager.

"Neither Horowitz or Friehling has been charged with a crime. Madoff faces as much as 10 years in prison and a fine of $5 million if convicted."

That's fucking it?? 10 years for a 50 billion dollar swindle??
The corruption is this nation now has no objective check but the natural limitations of the ambitions of the corrupt.... which ain't much of a limitation.
At least in Russia they are honest thugs. Everybody knows Abramovich is a killing and massive plunderer. No bullshit about it. If Madoff gets "10 years", it's time to visit Don Corleone and get some justice.

Pepe: As AA surmised, I was referring to the newspeak quality of those tired party lines, where tolerance really means intolerance of anything but the pinko party line, etc. But that's too complicated a concept to explain to you.

AA: tried to call about grub & beer, but your cell phone doesn't answer. Nokia is only for fryin brains, not for talkin'! So what's up?

Explaining 2^n.

HI, AI. Between this snow and my brother wanting to see me before I leave tomorrow morning, I'm thinking we'll have to call it no go today. Shame, really.
Anyway, in January--deeper in winter, and nearer to the ever more corrupt Radiant Future-- a bleak Saturday might be cheered by grub and beer?

OK -- ce n'est que partie remise, as the Frenchy say. But it's gotta be something stronger than pale beer for this kind of weather -- or else, real dark stout.

Precisely Pepe. It is useless having...

Of course, that way I don't have as a last memory the reading of your hufflepuffery.
