    There once was a rat named Ken Lewis
    Who told the Treasury he could do this
    Till profits did wane
    When he bought out John Thain
    And now tries to tell Cuomo to “screw this”.

    thanks.

    The rat, although a rodent, is carnivorous. You are aware of that. You will have heard of the things that happen in the poor quarters of this town. In some streets a woman dare not leave her baby alone in the house, even for five minutes. The rats are certain to attack it. Within quite a small time they will strip it to the bones. They also attack sick or dying people. They show astonishing intelligence in knowing when a human being is helpless.

    Probably for a non-union labor job in the area. Last summer there was one outside of the Bear/JP Morgan building for non-union asbestos removal around the corner. They put it on the avenues for visibility even if theyre targeting a building on another street.

    TMI – Two little rats fell in a bucket of cream. The first rat quickly gave up, drowned, and lost his bonus. The second rat, wouldn’t quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter, crawled out, and crapped on Cuomo. Gentlemen, as of this moment, Ken Lewis is that second rat…

    So, the company just changed it’s name to ‘Lynch America Countrywide’ to reflect its new diversified portfolio of companies and now needs a new mascot. Nothing too auspicious as a raging bull on steroids, like the lending market that got us into this mess…But something clever, sneaky, and quick to scurry out of trouble…Looks like I have found my home!!!
