“You can’t hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn’t we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn’t this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we’re not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!”

Senator Alexi Gianoulias listens, kinda,to State Investment Board investment chief Bill “The Shill” Atwood explain exactly why his savings calculations associated with the doomed ILL-PERS pension power geab are still spot on, despite what TRS, 3 separate actuaries, and finally Aon Consulting separately to be marginal to non-existent savings. He thinks, “Filan always got aways with ignoring the facts, why not me?
