I'm still trying to figure out why he bothered with this deck.  He could have posted his mission statement from his website about that truck he wants to buy and tour the country with - he would probably have attracted far more backers with deeper pockets.  But hey, I usually vote Democrat and his agenda sounds a good deal more right-wing to me, so I guess his failure is a good thing!

So am I.

The idea of a deck of playing cards with the faces of 54 obscure bankers and politicians who caused a banking crisis 5 years ago is dumb enough as is. Splash on a healthy dose of aggression, obvious personal vendettas, and a design by a 4th grader, and you have a recipe for a steamy pile of failure.

Oh, so THAT'S what I smell!  Been trying to track that down for a while now; thought I might have stepped in something...  :))
