1-2 are you currently employed or sitting on the sidelines? the time stamp on the southpark posting today is at 11:47.
Seth Klarman is the Chuck Norris of the distressed world. He smacks the bankruptcy right out of companies.

Fully employed by a bank wise enough to know accessing youtube isn't the end of the world...which is more than my former employer can say. The old house can say they lead the league in other things though, namely write-downs and lawsuits.

1-2, did you say on MR that you were a Wash U vet? And if so, join me in mourning that Macias only now is throwing money at them (also, that Nye's gone).

i was actually laid off earlier this month from a mezz fund. Believe-it-or-not (Ripley's!), my covenants were not that light.
Strangely a free feeling, especially if you're one of many.
If you're intelligent enough, no need to worry about the shit the poors caused with speculative mortgages.
Ron Paul!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Now that I have some free time, I hope to impress JC and BL with my insight, as well as a strong tendency towards voting for Republicans by the initials of Doctor, Honorable R.P.

stfu guest 10:01. I'd give the gal a little more respect than to put her in the realm of "meat". She's rather witty, entertaining and somebody should give her credit there.
mr. cov lite - you seem just a tad elitist. Perhaps go out there and volunteer sometime among the "poors" and see the wool pulled over their eyes in many cases with regard to mortgage terms, or empty promises made by salespeople with no accountability...

@ 10:14. Can't take a joke tree-hugin bitch?
Posted by guest , Jun 04, 2008 1:03AM
Guest @10:21pm, how do you know @10:14pm is a woman? Let's go over spelling and punctuation just for the hell of it: there should be a comma after "joke" and "tree-hugging" is spelled with a double "g" and another "g" at the end of the word.
Posted by Cov Lite , Jun 04, 2008 1:49AM
@10:14 - Post under something besides "guest" and then I will take you seriously.
My comments regarding "poors" was meant in jest. If I have to explain, you should not be commenting and believe it or not (again, Ripley's) some people in finance come from modest backgrounds. Don't assume you know anything based on random comments, and again, if you have balls, you're no "guest/"
Please vote for Dr. R. Paul

@10:14 - You're probably also a fag, although I mean no disrepect to GaYnalyst nor to Mr. P., or whatever the spelling, they know how they are, you do not).

Julie is a lady. And ladies do not spit.
So, the issue of whether I'd shoot in her eye is moot.

@ 10:01 - Not bashing you, cause I actually like your style. The impression I have is that "meat curtains" refers to a woman who dangles a bit in the nether regions. Now if you were meaning to make a boob comment, sweater puppets would have been apt.
Or I could be wrong.
@ BeckyBootFan - I will make a point to use your comment in casual conversation at some point this week.
