Good News for Criminals Everywhere
Uncle Andrew
Fresh from the sober, even-keeled minds at the World Bank:
Over the last three days we have considered carefully the report of the ad hoc group, the associated documents, and the submissions and presentations of Mr. Wolfowitz. Our deliberations were greatly assisted by our discussion with Mr Wolfowitz. He assured us that he acted ethically and in good faith in what he believed were the best interests of the institution, and we accept that.
Outstanding! Wolfowitz has lowered the bar for everyone. All someone accused of unethical and/or criminal behavior has to do is to assure those investigating that (s)he acted ethically and in good faith, and they’ll accept that.
Man, I can’t wait to try that out for myself. I think I’ll start with some shoplifting. 😛

Au Contraire, Andrew….THAT would be a crime, and expose you to severe penalties! May I sugggest, instead, something of a more elevated nature, and one more consistent with your talents and professional responsibilities? Namely, issue an IPO for Fungi Perfecti, say 1M shares at $5 each? Proceeds to a numbered account in the Caymans? If and when caught, I am sure that the resultant publicity would produce any number of profitable offers from Wall Street.

Not a bad idea, Dad. Hell, if I managed to cause sufficient chaos and market instability in the process, I might even earn the Medal of Freedom! 🙂
