Weird. I have to, because of my position in the government, file forms every year that disclose all my stock holdings to ensure I am not profiting from insider knowledge. The laws that require that were written by those jokers.

what if one passed the insider info to relatives or friends? or do they keep an eye on those too?

Hundreds spilled into the streets at Penn State early Thursday morning following news that football head coach Joe Paterno and the school's president were ousted over a child sex abuse scandal at the university.

What started as an apparent celebration of Paterno turned raucous, as the crowd tipped over a news van and decried the media. The university said on its Facebook page that police issued a dispersal order for the Old Main and downtown areas, and "everyone must vacate both areas immediately."
...
The disturbance came shortly after university trustees announced Wednesday night that Paterno, the winningest coach in major college football, and Penn State President Graham Spanier were out of their jobs, effective immediately.
...
The crowd cheered and said, "We love you, Joe."
...
Some had called for Paterno to resign immediately because of his response to allegations brought to him in 2002 by a graduate assistant, who said he had seen retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, now 67, sexually assaulting a young boy in a shower at the campus football complex.

oh yeah the guy who didn't go to the police when he knew children were getting raped is such a great guy because you know football. Fuck him.

"The driver made two announcements. The gentlemen should watch their wallets, he said; the ladies their handbags."

The second announcement pricked the bubble. "There are many pickpockets about," said the driver five minutes later. And, he said, there are many people "within this country" who come from "other European countries" who would be more than happy to relieve you of your possessions in the run up to Christmas. His warning transmitted, the driver clicked off his microphone and focused on driving his train.

"I wondered if others had heard it; what they thought," explains Stewart, over coffee. "Another bit of lazy kneejerk racism seeps into our society."

IDK. The forms are only for me and my immediate family (wife and children). I'm sure if other relatives started striking it rich and buying me gifts based on stock earnings in companies that I have dealings with, it wouldn't take a rocket surgeon to do the math there.

right. but what if you passed info to me?

Newt Gingrich tonight said at an address at Harvard that child work laws "entrap" poor children into poverty - and suggested that a better way to handle failing schools is to fire the janitors, hire the local students and let them get paid for upkeep.

The comment came in response to an undergrad's question about income equality during his talk at Harvard's Kennedy School.

"This is something that no liberal wants to deal with," Gingrich said. "Core policies of protecting unionization and bureaucratization against children in the poorest neighborhoods, crippling them by putting them in schools that fail has done more to create income inequality in the United States than any other single policy. It is tragic what we do in the poorest neighborhoods, entrapping children in, first of all, child laws, which are truly stupid.

"You say to somebody, you shouldn't go to work before you're what, 14, 16 years of age, fine. You're totally poor. You're in a school that is failing with a teacher that is failing. I've tried for years to have a very simple model," he said. "Most of these schools ought to get rid of the unionized janitors, have one master janitor and pay local students to take care of the school. The kids would actually do work, they would have cash, they would have pride in the schools, they'd begin the process of rising."

He added, "You go out and talk to people, as I do, you go out and talk to people who are really successful in one generation. They all started their first job between nine and 14 years of age. They all were either selling newspapers, going door to door, they were doing something, they were washing cars."

Racism is terrible, and it's good they run these stories, but it's funny how he, self-proclaimed liberal, doesn't even address the blatant sexism to begin with..


Just sayin'.
