Shhh, they’re on a roll.
Every good lefty knows that Fannie and Freddie and the Congressional Black Caucus and Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and ACORN and Obama has NOTHING to do with the mortgage mess, right?
Husband is worried all evening.
Wife goes to bed worrying about husband, encourages him to get some sleep, he says, "maybe in a little while."
Wife wakes up at 4AM and notices she's alone.

It’s also a technique used in the sex slave (prostitution) racket. Women are smuggled into the country and then blackmailed with threats against their families if they try to leave or go to the cops.
WSJ:
Mr. Kellermann’s wife told local police he committed suicide, local television station WUSA reported, citing sheriff’s deputies in Northern Virginia’s Fairfax County.
The police department would only say the case is under “active investigation.” Freddie Mac officials didn’t have an immediate statement. In a prepared statement, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said, “On behalf of the Treasury family, we are deeply saddened by the news this morning of David Kellermann’s death. Our deepest sympathies are with his family and his colleagues at Freddie Mac during this difficult time.”
Mr. Kellermann became Freddie’s acting finance chief in September, succeeding Anthony S. Piszel amid a broader overhaul of top management. He had previously been the company’s controller and principal accounting officer.
Mr. Kellermann’s job made him responsible for financial controls and reporting at Freddie Mac, a housing-finance company backed by the federal government. He had been with the company for more than 16 years, starting as a financial analyst and auditor in 1992, according to the company’s Web site.
Investigators from the Securities and Exchange Commission and Justice Department have been questioning officials of Freddie Mac about possible accounting violations and other matters in recent months, the company disclosed in March.
Are you kidding?
HOW do you “unintentionally” hang yourself???
Auto-erotic suicide?
That’s a good way to cover up a homocide.
People are justly cynical regarding anything to do with government. Sit back and enjoy the comments, some of them are witty.
