Nobody else wants the gig and, as you’re aware, JSC has come into some time on his hands. He wouldn’t have to move to Charlotte and abandon his Hoboken palace, which is nice, and he’s got some experience running a bank. Still, I don’t really like the idea of Papa Bear lowering his standards and just taking the job because he couldn’t find work elsewhere (also: Ken Lewis’s sloppy seconds? I don’t think so). Plus, there are so many other things he could do. While the original Beard sleeps off the hangover (and his successor wakes up atop a mountain of empty Hostess cupcake wrappers), let’s get some brainstorming going on what JC should do next:
* Bank of America Chief
* Treasury Secretary (Geithner’s practically begging for someone to put him out of his misery at this point, and he’s got the most important pre-req, employment at GS, covered)
* Race car driver
* Write his memoirs, and finally stick it to the Christian Scientist snake who stole Corzine’s job while he was on vacay with the fam
* Hedge fund manager
* Complete and total degenerate (he’s done the upstanding, productive member of society gig for a while now— time to try something new. The bonus is that this new gig would include drunkenly heckling Christie for being fat outside his office)
* Charlie Gasparino’s (martini induced) prediction: an analyst on MSNBC
* Your Call

This is just another ploy by GS in their quest for galactic domination. I was considering taking off the tin foil cap, but now I'm onto you Mr. Blankfein, and shortly will be fashioning a full body tinfoil suit.

I think I saw a still drunk Jon Corzine sitting on a park bench in Hoboken on my way to work this am. He was muttering something about being betrayed by Hank Paulson and somebody named Guido who'd he'd paid large sums of money to "make sure he won." Poor bastard.

jon Corzine is a struggling former governor who's trying to rebuild his life. After losing reelection, he tries to make amends with his son who he left behind years earlier. Upon their first meeting, his son doesn't think too highly of him until he enters the nation-wide arm wrestling competition in Las Vegas.

@38 bearded dicks are gross, but rhyming is awesome so well done
sort of off topic, but wanted some thoughts - would you purchase costumes for your penis if they were available? nothing fancy (but def classy), simple cape/hat combos, perhaps a tiny tuxedo. a special occasion type of thing (like a wednesday)
