This just in from NBC News....

All I'm going to say, as a reader of his bio on Wikipedia, is that the Chairman of the Fed should probably not be one of the main players in the causes of the financial meltdown of 2008, by encouraging the repeal of parts of the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act which was keeping the lid on some of the main causes of the crash of 1929 which caused the so-called 'Great Depression'. And if I were running for a shot at becoming the Chairman of the Fed, I think that I'd probably get a good shave and haircut before I had my publicity pictures taken, and plastered all over the world's media....  and I think we all owe USA Today a big 'Thank You' for bringing this guy to our attention before it was too late!
