Harrumphing our way to civic virtue

By Al Schumann on Monday November 23, 2009 09:36 AM

I had to laugh. The New York Times brain trust wants Goldman Sachs to show good citizenship. The editors helpfully provide them with a mailing address to send a donation that would defray the public debt. The debt, to flog the obvious, is not the problem.

So I have a much better idea, with a similar degree of likelihood in fruition. Arrest them all and, after a fair show trial, confiscate everything they have — except, possibly, their underwear.

That would be a serious waste of perfectly good underwear.

Al Schumann:

I propose a compromise. No underwear, but each of them is allowed to retain one sock.
