Chickens, Chickens Everywhere

On the theme of chickens coming home to roost, I've been following the growing number of bankster types who are suddenly deciding to spend a little more time with their families.

All told, as of yesterday, there have been 153 banksters who have resigned, or announced their intention to resign, from their positions of power and thievery. Seventeen of the charmers took a powder just yesterday. Kind of makes one wonder whether the poo is about to hit the air circulation device.

Here's the list, shamelessly heisted from, and with thanks to, American Kabuki (http://americankabuki.blogspot.com) and KP (kauilapele.wordpress.com) and their readers:
