Not to mention that the New York Fed gets a permanent vote in FOMC, whereas all the other Fed chairmen are rotated in and out. A surprising fact that I learned the other day: The New York Fed is the largest repository of gold on Earth, holding about 10% of the world's gold.

Also, if anyone is in school and needs a PowerPoint on the Fed (or if you're not in school and just want it) let me know, I made one a couple years ago that got a really strong response from my class.
