Jewish World Review Dec 23, 2011 / 27 Kislev, 5772 And now for the important news .... By Argus Hamilton
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | The Iron Lady starring Meryl Streep as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is opening next week. The previews have generated a huge Oscar buzz. The Hollywood actress is playing an anti-communist, union-busting, free-market conservative. Brother, that's acting.
Mitt Romney did the Letterman Show Monday to show his lighter side. He's admitted to having a bit of a wild side. Mitt Romney's wife told reporters that his favorite drink is caffeine-free Diet Coke, which Mormons consider to be a gateway drug to Mountain Dew.

Chicago Bears star Willie Gault was sued by the SEC Tuesday for artificially inflating a medical company's stock price. The SEC is rightfully alarmed. If football stars can persuade people to invest in fraudulent companies it will take the last remaining bit of business away from Wall Street brokers who sell fraudulent companies professionally.
