(The Loop Current this parodies is the one that pushed warm water from the Caribbean up and through the Gulf of Mexico and finally out to the Atlantic.)
Which is apparently alot truer that anyone really knew:
Banks, investment firms and other financial companies, including Citigroup Inc., Visa Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., employed at least 1,447 former lawmakers, congressional aides and executive branch employees as lobbyists since January 2009, according to a new study.
The lobbyists include at least 73 former members of Congress, a list that includes former Speaker Dennis Hastert, former Senate majority leaders Bob Dole and Trent Lott, and former House majority leaders Dick Gephardt and Dick Armey, according to a study by the Center for Responsive Politics and Public Citizen.
And they wonder why people are angry.
