A Midwestern mother and investment banker who was livid with Washington lawmakers paid for the banner that soared above Wall Street on Tuesday reading "Thanks for the Downgrade. You Should All Be Fired."

Lucy Nobbe, a single mother of two from Kirkwood, Mo., decided to have her rage flown in the face of Wall St. workers themselves when she hired a plane to tow the banner over downtown Manhattan, according to local station KSDK.

So true, I work for the City of Toronto which is now under fat fuck Ford's rule. I'm being threatened with being laid off after 10 years of service. We were offered a mickey mouse buy out package which of course most have laughed at it and now fat fuck is trying to intimidate us with lay offs.
