In another effort to institute change in Washington, President-elect Barack Obama has nominated disgraced financier Bernard Madoff to head the Internal Revenue Service.

developed new and successful methods of obtaining funds.

had given him a b**w job one week earlier and said it was the best one he had ever had
in his life."
