Biden and Obama are at a restaurant for lunch. The waitress comes over and asks what they will be having. Biden says, "I'll have a quickie." The waitress steps back in disgust and says, "Mr. Vice President, I thought that kind of piggish behavior went out with the Clinton administration!" She storms off and Biden looks confused. Obama shakes his head at the vice president and says, "Joe, it's pronounced QUICHE."
My wife was upset last night. She said I dont show her enough attention and I take her for granted. So I booked a table at a nice restaurant and told her we'd talk about it when I get back.
"I had breakfast with a Wall Street type this morning. We talked about the report a little bit. He seemed to find it something of a yawn. I inquired whether he thought these revelations would lead to profound and lasting changes in the way our markets function. He ate a berry and thoughtfully replied, "People are getting awful tired of regulation."
"Which people?" I asked him. "Because it's my perception that a lot of people are actually looking for some increased oversight of the financial industry."
"Oh, certainly," he said.
"So which people are tired of all this talk about regulation?"
