Bankers might be feeling public’s wrath — literally

Oh, my! Anybody who still thinks a second American Revolution is not a distinct possibility needs to check out the comments on this piece. And the source is not considered to be a tea partier hangout, either. It's described as "left leaning".

If armed liberals ever make common cause with tea party wingnuts to go after the banksters, look out!

Lest anyone think that I'm rooting for the idea, I'm not. Revolutions are messy, bloody affairs, and usually have bad outcomes. The French wanted "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" and got Napoleon. The Russians wanted "Land, Bread, Freedom" and ended up with Uncle Joe.

Not outcomes I'd wish on anybody. Especially me.

A Los Angeles lawyer who had represented a failed subprime mortgage lender is found dead outside his home, having been shot in the head.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
