Today, Mary Bottari put a funny twist on big banks. Here it is from Bankster USA:
“America’s Women to Dodd — Size Matters”
U.S. Senator Chris Dodd
Chairman Senate Banking, Housing and Urban AffairsDear Senator Dodd,
As women and as taxpayers, we are writing to you today to tell you that size matters.
Usually we love big. Big boxes of chocolate, big boxes of wine, big — well you know. But when it comes to big banks and big bank bailouts, it’s a whole different story.
As you get ready to take up bank reform in your committee next week, we need to talk.
When Congress voted to repeal depression-era Glass-Steagall protections, it put the big banks on Viagra. Since then they have had a big problem and it has lasted a lot longer than four hours.
The top five banks hold 50% of all bank assets. That hurts. They are simply too big for their britches. They have been ramping up those big bank fees, paying out big bank bonuses and spending big bucks on bank lobbyists to defeat reform.
We know what those big banks are telling you — “size doesn’t matter.” JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon may be cute, but he is just a player. Big bank bravado only leads to big bank bailouts. After spending $4 trillion on the latest one, we simply can’t afford to get knocked up for another.

This is hilarious! I love that they use humor to make a point. I hope we see more of this brand of activism.
