Stop Preening and Get Back To Work:

Maureen Dowd complains today in the Times' Op-Ed pages. The big banks have received big bucks to bail them out, and absolutely no one seems to know what happened to the hundreds of millions given away in the give away. Dowd points out that at least three of the banks have been buying advertising in the Times to "pat themselves on the back" that cost enough to support a family for up to four years. That's each ad!
