   Ernie should have listened to Bert. Bert always struck me as a conservative accounting type.

   Dennis Kneale is Bert gone bad.

   I wish Kimmel had left out the gunshot. There are not too many guns in America, just too much gun-related violence. Besides..let Madoff rot in a prison with “common criminals”…make sure everyone knows that white-collar crime will be dealt with in that way…and we will see a lot less graft and grifting. It could not happen a moment too soon.

   This format might be useful for explaining things to Congress?

   …only Madoff never promised investors 40% returns, the returns were claimed to be 9-10%. I see this point overlooked by many in the public who seek to vilify the victims of this scam as greedy people who should have known better and were just chasing returns that couldn’t have been possible.
