Given last year’s results, there is at least a chance that Bank of America’s risk management policies are undergoing a bit of an overhaul these days. There were clearly a variety of areas in which standards were either too lax or too ambiguous. However, there was at least one thing BAC was adamant and crystal clear about preventing: the reckless, unauthorized display of flags on bank property. The woman responsible for removing American flags that were part of a funeral procession for a Marine from the grounds of a BofA branch wants the world to know that where there is law at the bank, employees follow it to the letter.
At a recent press conference in Gaffney, SC, the lawyer for the bank manager/flag cop in question, Brandy Tate, read a passage from the gospel according to Ken.
“Displaying other flags such as local city/county, municipalities, commemorative, military/patriotic, irregular size U.S. flags or special-interest group flags must be approved by your consumer market management,” (Tate’s attorney Charles) Bonner read, noting that the word “must” was in bold type.
The message is clear: making loans to anybody reaching the lofty standard of having a pulse, not a problem. Allowing people to put American flags outside of the bank that bears the country’s name, unacceptable.

God Almighty – Are you trying to make your posts annoying in order to generate comments.
Try to vary your writing style
Try to be creative and imaginative from time to time
Try to make your posts have a point. It’s not even clear from the article whether BofA prohibits regular size US flags, or only irregular sized US flags.
Does anybody else fantasize about making love to Topher Grace?

@bander- i’m convinced “Greg Michaels” is a Reuters NewsScope next generation beta test. Reuters came up with algos to trade off news, like NewsScope, now they are going next generation, algos to create blog posts. Obviously they have not tweaked the code well enough to put in production.

Greg-
I am going to paint a Confederate flag on your ass and drop you off on the corner of 126th and Malcolm X.

Merkin Band Her Snatch @1: I was thinking the same thing about your comments. The last time you referenced a “point” weren’t you and your doctor talking about the shape of your head?
BOA sounds like an Old Glory hole (aka a place that totally sucks).
Greg, you are just awful. You are slowly, but surely, ruining this site.
@7 please don’t soil my good name, maybe try “Uh-merkin”
@4 Makes sense.
Any sentient being with the IQ of an earthworm would have adapted long ago and stopped making posts like these.
Greg is like that narrator from that episode of Scandalmakers when they found that real estate guy hiding from the cops under one of his own model homes.
I cannot believe I am saying this…but this was a good post by Greggie!
these greg stories are so bad i’m wondering if its not just bess typing them to provide a foil for her writings. kind of like one of those optical illusions using contrasting colors.
Greg,
Don’t stick a spoon in your ass and call it macaroni

I think you greg haters are retarded… this could have been a funny informative thread about stupid redneck bankers or a lively debate about which is more worthless, CFA or MBA, or which is better, LBI or Fire Island, or an informative discussion on the perils of TFing while driving but nooooo… instead it is a bunch of dribbledrabble about a guy’s writing style.
The coolest thing about this website is that the authors name is written right at the top of the post… so if you don’t want to read an authors writing, you don’t have to. Check it out sometime- i’m serious, it’s true… the author’s name is really there to help you out, you know, like, jus’ sayin’.
I mean c’mon… who here thinks that stupid redneck banker doesn’t have a full set of teeth? me for one.
Видел что-то подобное в буржунете, в Русскоязычном интернете про такие вещи как-то не особо часто посты увидишь.
bCCIkO Wow, great blog article.Thanks Again. Really Cool.
