    While writing a reply to an online discussion about failures of ethics, I was completely blocked on the name of the man who pressured Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make loans to people who don't deserve them, helping to lead to the US real estate market collapse. I googled for the only name I can recall for him, Barney Fag, and the very first article returned was the biography of Barney Frank, exactly the man I was looking for. :laugh: The point of my posting, by the way, was about the ethics involved in this individual asserting undue influence, arising from his position on the House Committee for Financial Services, to apply pressure to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make home loans to the undeserving, then turning around and loudly demanding retribution against these institutions for doing what they were told to do, after the real estate Ponzi scheme collapsed. It is clearly a violation of any objective code of ethics, and he wasn't the only one on that powerful committee.

    Will Rogers never met me.

        My BIL asked me yesterday who Will Rogers was and I knew him and a lot of what he had done but was unable to give him a definite answer as to his claim-to-fame so I googled. He has to be one of the most fasinating people of this century.
