Lehman Brothers CEO Cold Cocked


Shambollocks prides itself on chronicling the little guy's narrative during this New Depression. The guy who sticks it to the man, even if it requires breaking the law. Today, we share with you a new hero.

Richard Fuld, douche bag CEO of bankrupt Lehman Brothers, was partaking in the last vestiges of his executive perks- a workout in the Lehman Brothers gym Sunday. We'll let the Daily Telegraph (yes, because our papers suck) tell the rest of the story.

Mr Fuld, who has been testifying on the financial crisis before the US
House Oversight Committee, was attacked on a Sunday shortly after it was
announced that the banking giant was bankrupt.

Following rumours that the incident had occurred, Vicki Ward, a US
journalist, said "two very senior sources - one incredibly senior source" had
confirmed it to her. "He went to the gym after ... Lehman was announced as going
under," she told CNBC. "He was on a treadmill with a heart monitor on. Someone
was in the corner, pumping iron and he walked over and he knocked him out
cold.

Karma, baby. If you are such a gigantic, clueless pr&ck that you watch your company explode, sending shrapnel throughout the economy, AND THEN have the temerity to go to Capitol Hill and whine that the government didn't save your ass, well...you deserve to get beaten on a daily basis.

More Vote Suppression

The Daily Telegraph , in London, has an article today about how the Michigan Republican party will try to suppress the votes of those whose homes' have been foreclosed. Why not an American paper? Because the American newspapers suck.

Macomb County Republican Party Chairman James Carabelli was quoted as saying last week by the Michigan Messenger web paper that "We will have a list of foreclosed homes and will make sure people aren't voting from those addresses."


Shambollocks has already noted this Republican strategy here. If you vote Republican this year, please be aware of the kind of people for which you are voting. They hold the importance of the individual vote in contempt, and therefore our democracy.
