He is "shocked" I tell you "shocked" that the markets could not, or would not, regulate themselves.

And if anyone believes he is shocked, they most likely believe Dion was God's gift to humankind too.

One good thing about this, we are not going have Harper trying to deregulate "the market", as I am sure he knows that a move of this type would spell his demise.

Yes, I think Greenspan might have chosen his words more carefully....

Rick: "How can you close me up? On what grounds?"

Captain Renault: "I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!"

Croupier (to Renault): "Your winnings, sir."

Captain Renault (quietly): "Thank you very much... (loudly) Now! Everybody out at once!"

Greenspan did one (almost) redeeming thing in his autobiography.

He stated that his country's involvement to the east of Casablanca had, for years now, only one purpose.

Oil!

I'll believe it when he sells his Ayn Rand collection at a garage sale.
