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.
“CIT Still on the Ball”

you two are so JV it hurts.

@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.
From yesterday:

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.
I don’t get it

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?
§ 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.
Seriously not cool
§ 176(a) clearly satisfied here.
Hell, most TARP infested banks should be flying the Stars and Stripes in the same manner.
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.
tldr, Gregory.
@24- that’s pretty funny, well played
Do that in the heartland, and people will fuck you up bad, if the cops don’t get you first.
i love america
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”
If it were GE’s building, Ms. Bair would have arrived within 10 minutes to fix it herself…
Suck my balls and pinch my clit.

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.

joe weisenthal on cnbc…wtf?
@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.
@4
JV? Yes. First? Also, Yes.
@ 33 Atypically busy. How ’bout yourself?
@41. Same. Oddly busy for August.
They need a Union Jack…..
Hey listen, I will be over at Clusterstock for the next 2 weeks if anyone needs me.

If Bess were not to be back soon, this dealbreaker will be finished.
@34 Kudos. That kept me occupied for 10 secs.
TGDR- Too Greg, didn’t read.
@39, you shoulda chained them to the back of your PT Cruiser and drug ‘em around a bit.
Not sayin’ but Illinois is BO’s home state no?
