While they distracted us with talk of a bailout--

looks like the Treasury Department might've extralegally slipped the banks a "lil sumpn, sumpn" (of course, "a lil sumpn, sumpn" is relative to $700 billion, so it's more "sumpn" than "lil".

Sigh.

I look so forward to integrity in Washington and transparency in government. Y'all?
