I'll be on vacation the rest of the week, but I wanted to leave you with a little video music entertainment to tide you over until after the Labor Day holiday. As many of you know, consumer advocacy groups have been orchestrating a campaign to try to pressure the White House to appoint Elizabeth Warren as the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

If you dislike Barney Frank, it's because you're a homophobe (as one my readers alleged in an email to me). If you dislike Maxine Waters, it's because you're not only a sexist, but a racist, as well (I haven't heard that one yet, but I'm expecting it).

The other Sheriff found himself the subject of less adoring, albeit more humorous, videos:
