Wall Street to implement a moment of silence in honor of forebearers.

On this day in 1934, notorious bank robbers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow died in the proverbial "hail of bullets" as they were driving a stolen car near Saile, Louisiana.  This morning, just before the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange, there will be a moment of silence on Wall Street to honor the pair.

"Those poor brave suckers," said one banker of the duo.  "They were forced to use guns and resort to violence to snatch deposits.  Thanks to deregulation and all our banking 'innovations' the inside job is now a safe and lucrative career path."  The banker added, "We also get a lot of praise from Congressional Republicans for it."  http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/senators-put-federal-regulators-not-jpmorgan-on-the-hot-seat/2012/05/22/gIQAPmv8iU_story.html
