Bernie Madoff To Join Peter Gleick’s Pacific Institute: Work-Release Program

The Pacific Institute is pleased to welcome Dr. Peter Gleick back to his position as president of the Institute, and a joyous greeting to Bernie Madoff who will now be keeping the Institute’s books as part of a unique work-release program

An independent review conducted by outside counsel on behalf of the Institute has supported what Dr. Gleick has stated publicly regarding his, uh, interaction with the Heartland Institute. Which is to say, Dr. Gleick admitted to cheating, lying, conning, conniving, scamming, manipulating, and misrepresenting himself in a manner most sleazy in what has become known as Heartlandgate. We forgive him his trespasses.

This is a glorious piece of news! It contains happiness, irony and fear, a well rounded story.

They give him a job as a damn accountant???

america is unbelievable. don't they learn anything.

the guy is in prison for committing fraud, so they give him another opportunity to commit fraud, this time against the people who donated and invested in the pacific institute.

I suppose they figure he learned how to commit fraud more "efficiently" without getting caught while he was cooling his heels in prison.

Of course they never learn, its politically incorrect.

Some say there is very little, if any inventory at Fort Knox anymore. I wonder if Bernie was stationed there in his younger days.

Guess you could say I'm one of the ones saying its long gone. That's why I added "Oh wait".

LOL, can't you just imagine him counting the gold: "one bar, two bars, oh, I'm shaking so hard another one just fell right into my lunch box, three bars ..."

I want Bernie to do my books! Maybe I''d actually have some
money....

Oh bizarro world, you never cease to amaze.

time for a smoke

LOL. There are so many puns begging for existence.

That's alot of hot air.

Such a warming sentiment.

The climate at the Pacific Institute just changed.
