Federal Fish

Fed Time for Gonzo at Rolling Stone: The House Rules Committee is the place where amendments go to die, "perhaps the free world's outstanding bureaucratic abomination -- a tiny, airless closet deep in the labyrinth of the Capitol where some of the very meanest people on earth spend their days cleaning democracy like a fish." - Matt Taibbi

Goldman Sachs, "...the world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money." - Matt Taibbi

"The alligator is the sacred bird of the federal government." - Mark Twain
