    A much better outfit Julie. You’ve obviously thought more about what your viewers want. Good for you. Just lose a little more fabric (or a lot more if you really want to increase ratings faster). Or have a segment while jumping rope in that outfit. That would work well also.

    Oh brilliant France

    “The Times reported that Mr. Kerviel claims his dismissal is unlawful because the bank has failed to prove he did anything wrong. ……. They also say French labor laws force employers to hold face-to-face meetings with employees to outline the case for terminating their work contract, but the meeting is impossible because Mr Kerviel’s bail conditions forbid him from entering into contact with SocGen staff.
    ……… If Mr. Kerviel won the case, SocGen could be forced to make him a compensation offer.
    ”
    So cheer up boys and girls. Once Comrade Obama becomes the presidente, you will have French style socialism here and can go lose a zillion dollars and not get fired. Instead you will have your employer grovelling in front of you. Sweet.

    Surely you jest about the socialism comment. We have our own socialism in Wall Street. Just ask Paulson and Bernanke (never trust a man with a beard, unless he’s Santa Claus).
    And only the little people get fired in our new socialist comune, not the powerhouses like the Caynes and the Dimons. Now lets stand up and sing:
    Debout, les damnés de la terre
    Debout, les forçats de la faim
    La raison tonne en son cratère
    C’est l’éruption de la fin…

    Diablo,
    Use your head for once (the one on your shoulders for a change — a real change, not a slave-guilt-inspired tripping into a elect-Osama universe).
    Really, are you f*ing nuts? Or are you paid from the Osama’s campaign?

    Wow, you sound like you are auditioning for the KKK.
    Now comrade Paulson stands up and sings:
    L’égalité veut d’autres lois
    Pas de droits sans devoirs dit-elle
    Egaux, pas de devoirs sans droits

    I think Julie has a slightly lazy left eye. Which makes her even more endearing (when combined with her low-cut top).
    Nice entry point, indeed.

    Julie is hot. But now it is all about Ivanka. And Lindsay is dead to me now.

    1-2 and Anal_yst have a fucking blog together now? Are you shitting me? Has the whole world gone gay? I don’t mean to get all SlimJimmy here but seriously dudes, was the acela to Massachusetts booked up or something? Isn’t there a faster way to come out to your parents than through badly written posts about egg McMuffins on your 8th tier finance blog.
    P.S. Does this mean “girl” is now back on the market?

    Oh… and you know what really grinds my gears? people who like Family Guy and try to pass off humor from that shitty poorly strung together show as their own even shitier poorly strung together blog.

    Hey, is the “John Carney” mentioned in this morning’s Wall Street Journal article “The Auction Rate Lockout” related to OUR John Carney???

    Random Banker, actually unrepententgunner also writes as well. I’m glad you’re so supportive. I’d ask if you had any thoughts you’d like to contribute, but given the tone I’m getting from your post, I’d doubt it.
    Anyway, if your the least bit curious, hit me up, its.the.anal.yst@gmail.com

    Random’s comments are pretty ironic given that he freely admits to living his whole life ONE hour outside Manhattan or London. One hour gets you into some pretty low rent districts in both places….
