Flipping through channels while checking phone messages, sipping coffee, and gathering paperwork, I caught the following on The View:
The women were discussing the fate of Ruth Madoff (Bernie's wife) and "her" $70 million fortune. Apparently Ruth thinks she should keep it, everyone else thinks not. Whoopi described the ponzi scheme which has landed Mr. Madoff in prison as: taking money from investors, not investing the money in anything, and then giving money back to those who ask--which requires ever more new investors to keep the system running.
Joy Behar replied in a rare moment where her two brain cells fired simultaneously:
"WHEN THE GOVERNMENT DOES THAT, THEY CALL IT SOCIAL SECURITY!"
