Tim Geithner is, unquestionably, a hard working guy. He inherited an extreme set of circumstances and didn’t have a supporting cast around him until recently. There is no shortage of issues keeping TG up at night. But could Timmy actually be working too hard? Pilots and medical residents have strict guidelines on required rest since they deal with peoples’ lives. While you may never go under the knife of Dr. Geithner, he does have some degree of control over the economic lives of over 300 million Americans. The last thing you want is some sleep deprived guy falling asleep at the wheel of the economy. So maybe it’s time to make sure TG isn’t showing any of the physiological effects of sleep deprivation such as hallucinations and memory loss.
I don’t think so,” Geithner said, when asked whether commercial real estate could set off another banking meltdown. “That’s a problem the economy can manage through even though it’s going to be still exceptionally difficult.”
We probably need to hear a little bit more from the patient before making a diagnosis.
“You can say now with confidence that the financial system is stable, the economy is stabilized,” Geithner said
Mr. Secretary, there seems to be some cause for concern. We’re worried about you. Please tell us how things have been going for you at the Treasury.
Geithner, who was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York before joining the Obama administration, said reports of his 100-hour work weeks don’t do justice to his new routine. “There is no typical day and it’s so much worse than you think,” Geithner said.

Greg,
I want to dress you up as a pre-teen hearthrob from the mid 90's and ruthlessly sodomize you.

The day you were born was the happiest day of my life. Then I got to know you, and it has been down hill ever since. You douche.
Love,
Mom

@ab, "working" from home day trading on your pc and never going out doesn't count as working 24/7.

It's been several months since Mark Klein, M.D. posted anything in here.
Has anyone heard from him?
Is he OK?

Father Flaherty is at the door dear. Would you mind taking care of that fluffing thing for me today?
Thanks love.

@12
You imply it's possible to think less of Greggums. I don't think even his mom could do that.

Greg,
I'm going to take you apple bobbing tomorrow, only instead of apples, we're going to use live grenades.

Greg,
Uninspired, thoughtless, formulaic, and repetitive drivel completely devoid of humor coming from a guest commentator that couldn’t be bothered to even read the post. Listless and vapid attempts to validate what is presumed to be a very lonely and empty existence by means of compulsively (and anonymously) jumping on every trend/bandwagon (on a website) in desperate, but ultimately fruitless, attempts to foster a sense of belonging and community.
Love,
A relative of Greg
(Now I too am one of the cool kids on this site! Yes!)

Jesus, this is a classic Jerome Kerviel case right before our eyes. In Europe, they always say the classic sign of a rogue trader is one who refuses to take holidays because if he did, others would find those unbooked losing trades tickets stuffed in his top drawer. T2G definitely has some scam going on. Call in the regulators at once.....
