Federal Communications Commission commissioner Meredith Attwell Baker was so nice about letting Comcast buy NBC that Comcast offered her a job. Yay! We love happy endings! This must be a really good job, the kind that comes with a huge bonus for doing something like, oh, we don't know, clearing the giant corporation over a tough regulatory hurdle, because Baker is leaving the Janet Jackson boob squad to take the position. Some people don't like when this sort of thing happens, but those people should shut their stupid faces. Bureaucrats have to make bank too! And that's why, at the same point in their careers, police officers should quit the force to go work for criminal gangs trying to help them escape the law. Everybody does it, right?
you know whenever something particularly unsavory comes up, it's followed by 'bush administration, bush era regulation, bush appointment, etc.'
like for instance the teri gross interview i'm listening to RIGHT NOW about for-profit colleges (see: bush admin created loopholes to allow for profit colleges to aggressively recruit / pay bonuses for recruitment, obama admin is having to clean up the mess).
but still!! we have a black man for president and he lets rappers visit the white house!!!! never forget!!!

The striking thing about this is she&#039;ll lie about why she got the job, and we&#039;ll all know she is lying, and she&#039;ll do it anyway. There&#039;s a point where actions tend to cross over from bravado into sociopathic illness.
What.the.fuck?! I sell insurance and I had to sign a non-compete clause in case I leave. Why don&#039;t we have a rule that says that if you are a high ranking government official, you can&#039;t work for a company you regulated for 5 years?
I&#039;m considering getting out of the clinical psychology game. I would like to try <i>causing</i> some traumatic reactions for a change. Any suggestions where I could find some opportunities to pursue that passion?

Thanks for the info, Dean.
Actually, I hear the local government creatures in China are often rife with corruption.
For examples, I remember hearing about very pointed complaints of parents who lost their children in 2008 earthquakes, when the shoddily constructed schools came down like straw houses. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wik..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sichuan_schools_corr...">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

If something like that happened between Wall Street and the government regulators something catastrophic could happen!
