Charlie Gasparino reports that the Bank of Amerrillwide will result in ten thousand layoffs between Bank of America and Merrill Lynch, mostly from the latter and heavily from the investment bank. According to CG, cuts are expected before the end of the year, and over at MER, "things are scary," likely because if this was the reaction to a deflated bonus, what can we expect of the all-star, or those who subscribe to his school of thought, if a canning is on the horizon? Stay tuned, and buy yourselves some umbrellas.

Good observation, 5. We're nearing the annual Shit & Stomp held in 4WFC. Ex-lax will be provided, via Brookfield Properties. The turnout is expected to be unusually high this season.

When will we learn to set aside our foolish pride and just deliver our tribute of 7 virgins (probably from the IT dept) to wideclops each full moon. Have mercy wideclops.

May the Wideclops spare you and your kin.

If Dealbreaker.com was worth anything as a "Wall Street Tabloid" rumor source, it would have already reported when the previously-announced J.P. Morgan IB layoffs were going down. It's supposed to be this week.

@10, FYI "Wideclops" is not BofA, it is Melissa Lee from CNBC. And yes, you are welcome. Also @8, yes the only way to stop this financial crisis is to make a blood sacrifice (consisting of 7 virgins) to Wideclops. Have mercy Wideclops, have mercy.

@15. You think you're funny but you aren't. You are just plain wrong. You've jumped on the wideclops bandwagon cos you think it makes you fit in. But it doesn't. It just makes you a dick.

@16 if I am a dick, will you blow me? If not, shut the fuck up.
