Burning Down the House

Our regular Saturday feature of James Burke showing how we got here is, uh, suspended this week, so that we can bring you a more urgent video about, well, how we got here:
Watching Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd are in charge of the committees that are supposed to fix this mess, and instead they're trying to skim off money for their buddies in ACORN, La Raza, and other "community organizations".
Help spread the word
UPDATE: "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Warner Music Group"
UPDATE 2: Found another copy. It'll be up until it gets squashed. Hope they make one without the music.

  1. I understand the next presidential debate will be about domestic issues. If this video is accurate, McCain needs to use it.

We reserve the right to delete comments, but the failure to delete any particular comment should not be interpreted as an endorsement thereof.

In general, we expect comments to be relevant to the story, or to a prior comment that is relevant; and we expect some minimal level of civility. Defining that line is inherently subjective, so try to stay clear of insulting remarks. If you respond to a comment that is later deleted, we may take your response with it. Deleting your comment isn't a personal knock on you, so don't take it as such.

We allow a variety of ways for commenters to identify themselves; those who choose not to do so should take extra care. Absent any prior context in which they may be understood, ironic comments may be misinterpreted. Once you've earned a reputation for contributing to a conversation, we are likely to be more tolerant in those gray areas, as we'll understand where you're coming from.
