Thanks for the link form your blog. As someone who has spent many years in govt and understands the difficulty of pushing policy through I was wondering what you would do about finance reform? Its one thing to say that we need a return to to Glass-Steagall type regulations and stronger oversight over derivatives and other "weapons of financial destruction" but its another to put into action.

How would you deal with regulatory capture and investment banks financing political campaigns and Republicans refusal to even allow the nomination of the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau? Are there even answers to the problems we have or have we evolved a political system too far gone that only serve special interests?

Also, loved you in your role as Det. Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich.

Since everyone else will cover the political angle (personally, I would love to hear your take on the future of financial reform), I wanted to take a different tack.

• We have seen you in some truly funny/sarcastic/trolltastic moments (you looking at your watch and turning around as the Fox News anchor harangued you is a personal favorite) - what is your favorite moment where you really thought you gave somebody the business?

• Jon Stewart was your college roommate and I think, until recently, everyone would assume he was the funnier one - true? And we are all imagining you two staying up all night debating low comedy and high politics - also true?

Have nothing of real import to add here except to say what an awesome guy.
