As time passes and the five-year statute of limitations for criminal prosecutions draws near, it's clear not one banker will be put behind bars. It was not so clear when Lehman Brothers fell.

Doug G. posted an article on Idiggraves - Nov 15, 2010, 2:39 pm
Denial: I don't even know I lied. With George Bush's memoirs out we grasp the picture of a man who has looked into the abyss much the same way Dicken's Scrooge did when he bore witness of his own legacy and hoped he could dodge justice by manufacturing a glowing self-portrait. Somehow, we expected ...
