    I think the accounting czar is my favorite. Well done.

    Sweeet, now while we’re still nitpicking, can we make the blog posts on the main page take up 2/3 of the page like within the individual post’s page and on Fashionista. All the junk on the right crowds it out.

    Italics are gone? What comments are you looking at Carney? You musta started on the sauce mighty early today, i can’t say I’m not jealous.
    This ppt is absolutely hilarious though, that last back-forth pretty much exactly sums up how many conversations likely went, I imagine.

    @36th Chamber: Agreed. Accounting Czar is phenomenal. The fumes flowing from the morts…I could smell them from here.

    Phenomenal. I like the RSG guy’s posture in the last couple of slides.
    Dear author: please keep adding slides every time another wheel falls of the wagon. It’s already a little behind. I was hoping for some stuff on student loans and on the recent auction failures.
