Billy Joe Armstrong on the Bankruptcy Bill

Indicia of the penetration of the wretched stench of the Credit Card Issuer Protection Act passed by Congress comes in this a posting about the band Green Day on Crooked Timber, quoting their lead singer at a recent concert:

the line of the night was certainly when Billie Joe Armstrong introduced the band, culminating in this: “And I’m George W. Bush.”

Crowd: “Boo!”

Armstrong: “You better hope you don’t go bankrupt.”

Yup.
