In an offline conversation with one of our regular readers, Dad29, this bit came to mind. Many of you have seen this umpteen times. Watch it once more. When you do, imagine that the guy banging the gong is the FDIC, the guy with the body is a short seller and the knight riding through at the end, oblivious to all going on around him is SEC chair Cox.
Wait, watch it again and imagine that the guy with the gong are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the guy with the body is a mortgage broker who knows the applicant can’t make the payments and the Knight is Barney Frank.
There are probably numerous other analogies that can be drawn to this bit from the current problems…take your try at it and leave a comment.
