    HA!

    I can understand that, our country is up-side down when people like Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi can continue to get re-elected.

    Bess picked a helluva week to be out, as Charlie Gasparino gets into a flame war with Matt Taibbi and Felix Salmon.
    Too bad we’ll have to go to other sites to read the coverage.

    @3, thanks for the heads up, can you send a link b/c I’ll doubt we’ll get one?

    The technical meaning of an upside down flag is distress. Pretty fitting.

    I’m reading Carney… shoot me, shoot me now.

    CIT spelled backwards is TIC – the same sort of bloodsucking Mr. Peek is now doing to the American taxpayer.

    Greg will be hanging from the flag pole once Bess sees how terribly he’s dropped the ball….

    @3
    That stuff is not covered here because “Marla” is subbing for Bess. Taibbi is a god in Marla’s other site.

    We should all take the week off. I’m off to the pool, and fishing tomorrow, etc.

    Porker Stansberry is amused by all of you.

    Given the meaning behind the upsidedown flag, that sent shivers down my spine.

    All of you are not amused by Porker Stansberry.

    Is there anyway DB can raise an upside down flag?

  20. Posted by Riskybusiness | August 4, 2009 at 11:01 AM

    § 176. Respect for flag: No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
    (a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

  21. Posted by guest | August 4, 2009 at 11:04 AM

    Seriously not cool

  22. Posted by Tax Chick | August 4, 2009 at 11:05 AM

    § 176(a) clearly satisfied here.
    Hell, most TARP infested banks should be flying the Stars and Stripes in the same manner.

  23. Posted by guest | August 4, 2009 at 11:06 AM

    In all seriousness, this is probably your best post ever, Greg.
    To wit:
    1. A picture
    2. Not a single run-on sentence
    3. Astonishingly coherent
    4. Appropriate use of punctuation
    5. In the general vicinity of humor
    I think you may have found your niche. Keep up the mediocre work.

  24. Posted by guest | August 4, 2009 at 11:06 AM

    tldr, Gregory.

  25. Posted by guest | August 4, 2009 at 11:09 AM

    @24- that’s pretty funny, well played

  26. Posted by guest | August 4, 2009 at 11:11 AM

    Do that in the heartland, and people will fuck you up bad, if the cops don’t get you first.

    Somebody should take Charlie into the men’s room and check to see if he’s had his scrot gold-plated. Ever since Lloyd called him a thug he’s bent over and begged to be taken from behind by GS (otherwise known in the biz as getting access). And he’s done a 180 on GS, consistent of course with his willingness to be buggered for the cause. Just before earnings last he was on air claiming that GS should be investigated for running a hedge fund with a gov’t guarantee. Bess needs to bitch-slap him good.

    @20 – exactly. peek is sending his equity holders a message. so much for insider trading…t-$0.01 until they “break the buck”

    Just want to thank the Dealbreaker commentariat for picking up the slack these last couple days. I was getting worried for a bit that you folks may not have been up to the task, but now absent Bess, you guys & gals have stepped it up.

    @26 – Bullshit. I happened to be in two Illinois State Parks on successive weekends and they were both flying their US flags upside down. Rangers acted like I was the pain in the ass for mentioning the problem in each instance. This fucking country is doomed to mediocrity.
