$$$ Citi jets for sale! [Cityfile]
$$$ Confidential to Christopher Meek: We read you were upset with the write-up we did of your program. And that upsets us! We get that since 99% of the time we’re making fun of people, you probably assumed you were getting the same treatment, but you assumed incorrectly. In all seriousness we think you’re doing a very nice thing for the people of Stamford, and, believe it or not, the headline “Goldman Sachs trader to the rescue” was completely sincere. Email us if you don’t believe it. [Norwalk Advocate]
$$$ Little parody for your weekend. [Youtube]
$$$ After 93 Years, G.M. Shares Go Out on a Low Note [Dealbook]
$$$ Job of the Week: Bloomberg needs a senior loans analyst. That could be you. [DB Career Center]

    Get real, Bess. You and EP couldn’t be sincere if you shaved your heads and joined the Hare Krishnas. Your dyed-in-the-wool cynicism and snark is what draws people here. Be proud of who you are!
    Furthermore, even if you were uncharacteristically sincere, your commenters would still chime in true to character: 50% would claim it’s all an Obama plot; 50% would say it’s all Bush’s fault; and 50% would say they’re pounding their secretary/your mother/Lobsterclops/Dick Cheney/Tim Geithner in the ass.* Jesus Christ Himself would have folded up his tent and gone back to Bethlehem if he had read about his exploits in Dealbreaker.
    *And yes, my math is correct. I checked.

    The link to the Shamwow parody is implied approval for the proletariat to resume shamwow-ing and mayo-ing with nerdy, unselfconscious abandon.

    Looks like some big shorty got whacked at the closing of Friday. Lots of blood on the floor.
