I quoted the Reuters' material on DABA back on January 30, 2009. I was not aware of the <em>New York Times'</em> "Editors' Note" from February 25, 2009, on their DABA <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/28/nyregion/28daba.html?_r=1" rel="nofollow">piece</a>, which said: <blockquote><strong>Editors' Note: February 25, 2009 </strong> An article on Jan. 28 about women who commiserated over dating Wall Street bankers caught in the financial crisis described a group they had formed, Dating a Banker Anonymous, as a support group. That is the name of their blog. Its creators originally told The Times that about 30 women had participated, but since publication, they have said that all involved were friends. Laney Crowell, one of the women who started the blog, said in the article that it was “very tongue in cheek;” she has since described it as a satire that embellishes true experiences for effect. Had the nature of the blog been made clear at the outset, the article would have described it accordingly, not as a support group. </blockquote> Thanks for the heads-up Rae Macklyn.

People who commit crimes will use WHATEVER it takes to get the job done. And, shockingly, they don't follow any whatever-control laws. A lot of dingbats don't understand that last point, apparently.

A number of different people/entities got re-do's these past couple of years. Too bad we can't get the same for our Congress, who seem to have "lost the plot," so to speak.

They haven't even updated the thing since December 2010...and when I left a comment questioning the fraudulent nature of the site, it was deleted within a few days (although it was the ONLY comment they'd received in a good long while). One of the two women behind the blog got fired from her real job due to spending too much time chatting with her agent for the DABA mess while at work. Live and learn, girls!

Term limits have to be made law...there is no provision in the Constitution that guarantees these parasites a "job"...And these clowns need to be reminded of this "fact". The other significant contribution that the electorate could offer would be to smarten up and get control of the purse strings by cutting these overpaid ticks off and force them to live within thier means via a paycut until they can get thier collective house in order. Conservatives need to clean up thier own house in fiscal matters and Liberals need to understand that they are spending other peoples money and at this time that money is very "real" to those of us that have to earn it. Congress has yet to recognize that they are in fact "Public Servants" The poll booths should be there to remind these creeps of thier place in the scheme of things instead, a vapid electorate of which at best shows up to vote this debris back in at, the national rate of under 45 % during each cycle and produces the politicians we truely deserve. I often wonder what we as a people would get if we had a system like the Australians where voting is compulsory as it is in at least 21 other nations. At least they can be confident that as citizens they are getting the government they as a whole would either accept or reject based on consensus.
