"What will the judge decide?" "Will those he ripped off have a say?"
and then it happened: the graphic shot across the screen as the host referred to Mr Madoff as a
THEIF
I thought: uh boy, typo galore and Doug's head would have just exploded.

I think the government should give you millions of dollars to study this problem and iron out the details. (Another interesting wrinkle in its efforts to jump start the economy.)
It's a vortex.

PS: Is '"ironic"' three times as ironic?
