Earlier today, politicians, bankers, and regular people screwed over by Wall Street gathered in the Ronald Reagan Building — a hilarious choice of venue for a bill opposed by almost every Republican lawmaker — for the signing of the financial-reform bill.

Period.” Then he signed the legislation, and everyone applauded his successful use of all eleven ceremonial pens. [NYT]
