<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>I&#39;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&#0160; the White House to appoint Elizabeth Warren as the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Among the many weapons that Warrenn&#39;s supporters have rolled out is a rap video that&#39;s &quot;gone viral&quot; on YouTube, and which labels Warren &quot;The New Sheriff.&quot; Following is a Bloomberg news report on the video and other aspects of the campaign.</p>

<p><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CyUNOIrEVPQ?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CyUNOIrEVPQ?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" /></object></p>

<p>You have to love the Left. If you oppose one of its heroes who happens to be female you&#39;re &quot;sexist.&quot; That sure beats having to engage in logical debate based upon facts. If you dislike Sheila Bair, it&#39;s also because you&#39;re sexist (as one writer for Slate asserted). If you dislike Barney Frank, it&#39;s because you&#39;re a homophobe (as one my readers alleged in an email to me). If you dislike Maxine Waters, it&#39;s because you&#39;re not only a sexist, but a racist, as well (I haven&#39;t heard that one yet, but I&#39;m expecting it).</p>

<p>I guess that makes anyone who hates me an &quot;assophobe,&quot; and there&#39;s no lower form of animal life than one of those. </p>

<p>For those yearning to get a full taste of Warren&#39;s rap, here it is:</p>

<p><object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6W0vCgMRX0o?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6W0vCgMRX0o?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" /></object></p>

<p>As you heard in Bloomberg&#39;s report, Professor Warren was &quot;touched&quot; by the video. However, she should keep in mind the last regulator that was billed as &quot;The Sheriff&quot; and how he went about being &quot;touched.&quot;If she&#39;s also buying hookers, let&#39;s hope she&#39;s a bit more discreet about how she pays for them and where she transports them. The other Sheriff found himself the subject of less adoring, albeit more humorous, videos:</p>
<p><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2hDFMWHo3IE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2hDFMWHo3IE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" /></object></p></div>

Their remarkable resilience to the downturn, and this year&#39;s strong recovery in the financial markets, mean that opportunities still exist in banking for those with the skill and tenacity to get them.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That sure warms the cockles of my heart. How about you?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What they don&#39;t tell recruits, however, is that the world of investment banking is full of hidden perils, not the least of which is the risk of a broken heart. From Columbia Business School&#39;s Follies of 2006 comes a trailer for a movie about the dangers of office romance in a business that broke the back of the American economy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note to politically correct hypersensitive readers: if you&#39;re offended, take it up with CBS. Don&#39;t hate the playa, hate the game.&lt;/p&gt;
