Back in November, former Lehman Brothers head of investment banking/current Barclays employee of the same title Hugh “Skip” McGee wrote a tear-stained letter to his son’s boarding school. The Skipper had held his tongue until then, but no longer could he sit by and watch as he flushed thousands of dollars down the toilet each year so the fruit of his loins could have his mind poisoned by the hippies (and what he’s pretty sure are lesbians) running that place. In his note, Baby Huey laid out three reasons for his anger:
1. The school made a bunch of high school boys very upset (not just upset, “humiliated”) when it wouldn’t let them dress in drag for a pep rally.
2. Something about “a gay female coach” (Skip’s original draft: “fucking dyke”) who favors girl sports.
3. (The pièce de résistance:) History teacher Leslie Lovett, who injects her ‘leftist invective’ in the curriculum and said mean, hurtful things about investment bankers, particularly those working for Lehman and Barclays, and made Skippy’s son cry. Luckily, Skip Jr. wiped his eyes, stood up to Ms. Lovett and said, you are wrong about my dad! He wanted to save Lehman. He wanted to save Lehman so bad!
For all those reasons (and more, which the Skip didn’t even want to get into), he called for the dismissal of Upper School Principal Michael Saltman (THIS IS THE PRICK WHO WOULDN’T LET THE DRAG SHOW GO ON), Headmaster Donald North and the teacher, Leslie Lovett. And this week? Success! Kind of! Saltman has “resigned,” and the next generation of McGees can wear dresses without worrying some lefty is going to ruin their good time. All members of the Barclays community are invited to meet in the lobby promptly at 3 to celebrate this momentous occasion. Shareholders, come along, too. You’re gonna wanna get a load of who’s working ya.

Subject: Kinkaid POLD
Dear Parents:
I write with news about recent decisions by two valued members of
Kinkaid’s administrative leadership team.
This week, Upper School Principal Mickey Saltman announced his
decision to retire at the end of the current school year. While I had
hoped Mr. Saltman would return to Kinkaid for the coming school year,
I respect his decision fully. Mickey Saltman has served Kinkaid with
great distinction for twelve years, and his career in
education-first (and always) as a teacher, then as a department
chair, and finally as a principal at two first-rate independent
schools-spans nearly fifty years. At Kinkaid, he has led a superb
faculty with skill, wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to
excellence, and he has served as a wonderful role model for our
students.
Additionally, Cindy Gough recently announced her decision to resign
from her position as Director of Physical Education, Athletics, and
Wellness effective at the end of the current school year. Ms. Gough
has provided strong, energetic, and thoroughly positive leadership to
the school over the last four years, contributing significantly to the
Department and to the school, and all of us are deeply grateful to Ms.
Gough. We will miss her very much, and we wish her well in the future.
I know in the coming weeks and months you will join the Kinkaid Board
of Trustees and my colleagues on the faculty and staff in expressing
thanks to both Cindy Gough and Mickey Saltman for the exceptional
leadership they have provided Kinkaid.
Sincerely,
Don North
kinkaid is a boarding school?
HOORAH!

Kinkaid alum/dealbreaker regular here. Treacly as Skip's letter was, he was completely right that Kinkaid had gone way downhill. Glad to see Saltman ("Saltyballs" as we called him) gone.
The equivalent for dealbreaker readers would be like the day that Greg Michaels was fired.
Bess, try harder.
If "Skippy" didn't like the school, why didn't he just put his son in another school?
Why ruin two people's careers just because they don't fit you're right-wing idea of how teachers should be.
GS brokers ARE pigs.
So whatelse is new?
Who DOESN'T KNOW THAT???!!
@8 – Hey!
Greg
kinkaid/skip apologist@10 get back to work.
@8 Dammit now I am getting all misty eyed. I miss hearing from Mrs. Michaels and her latest exploits.
@9, but why do that when you can just get your way?
@6 – Amen. Go Falcons!
@8 – a private school education and "Saltyballs" was the best you twerps could come up with?
- special needs public school alum
Yeah, I guess if you're rich, you can get anybody fired from your son's school … for whatever DUMB reason you choose.
Like Daddy Oink Oink says, "Damn it feels good to be a heartless-ass banker".
Wish Skip had told me about the job opening. I would have been a strong candidate.

Out of order? I show you out of order. You don't know what out of order is, Mr North. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too fuckin' blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place! Out of order? Who the hell do you think you're talkin' to? I've been around, you know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there isn't nothin' like the sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that. You think you're merely sending this splendid foot soldier back home New York with his tail between his legs, but I say you are…executin' his soul! And why? Because he's not a Kinkaid Man. Kinkaid men. You hurt this boy, you're gonna be Kinkaid bums, the lot of ya. And Mickey, Cindy, Leslie, wherever you are out there, FUCK YOU TOO!
@16, this was '98 and that Southpark episode with the chocolate salty balls had just come out. Also, we were 16 years old.
@17/Karen/Saltman's Wife
One of the FIRST lessons you need to learn if you are going to work in ANY job (except the public sector) is DONT piss off the people with the most money/power. Remember who signs those $30,000 checks for private school tution (hint: not you or you wouldnt be working there).
@17 – Karen: Sometimes you have to smurf the help just to remind yourself why you clawed your way to the top of the heap.
8 inches here
Treacly?
First of all, my name is the FAKE Jeff Sneider, and as a former writer/editor at "Kink Aid" and "Saddle Oxfords", I know a thing or two about Internet trolls. You're all too afraid to post your real names because you lack class and you have nothing to say of any substance. I happen to know the man with the private school problem in that picture. He is a dear friend of mine. He is not the bubble-headed, WASP candy/brown-shirted Lesbian lamenter you Wall St. assholes are making him out to be. He happens to be a BRILLIANT leader/analyst/executive rainmaker and defender of bankers everywhere, as evidenced by the fact that the Kinkaid School keeps him in their company. There is nothing romantic or "right-winged" about their relationship. He is a trusted friend and mentor of their………
@24, they taught us to neologize liberally at TKS
"Friedly Zone"???
Is that a misspelling for Friendly, or some very clever pun that has gone right over my head?
"2. Something about “a gay female coach” who favors girl sports."

Skip might be in for a surprise if/when he takes Barclays diversity training at some point in the future. Why? Maybe because of this:
"At Barclays people are treated fairly, irrespective of their sexuality."
Independent recognition: In 2008, Barclays in the UK was named one of Britain’s top employers for gay, lesbian and bisexual people, in Stonewall’s annual Workplace Equality Index. Barclays was placed number 17 out of 100 companies featured in the poll and scored 86 per cent in a survey designed to measure inclusivity in the workplace.

@8 i agree mickey saltman is a piece of shit. good riddance
@8 i agree mickey saltman is a piece of shit. i hated that chimo. good riddance
@28
Every company in the U.S. with more than say, 50 employees has the same BS, but its exactly that.
@28, when you're a BSD, that HR bullshit doesn't matter
@28 – You're not nearly as clever as you think you are.
@25 FTW!
I predict a picture with Jeffrey Sneider doing coke off Roubini's ass will appear within a week.
Houndstooth for everyone!!!!
@33…I want to send you a thank you note for that comment. Should I send it to your address on "Numbnuts Lane" or to the off-site private office you shared with Gundlach?
@28
@35/28
I see you're committed to reinforcing @AB's assessment, very good.
@22
choice phraseology using smurf. comment of the week. boom.
we called him saltydog. and the guy who said he was a piece of shit had it right. good chemistry teacher though. if you were a fuckup, he was on your side. if you were a good student, he was a ass
@22 – Thank you. It seemed to mesh well with the BSD theme of the post.
@8, @29 & @30 – If anyone knew Saltman as The DEMON that he is – I DO! Saltman is a PEDIPHILE!! He belongs in jail, and definitely NOT in a position of authority at any school. I went to Bronxville HS in NY back in early 80's – before Saltman became principal of anything. He was just the Chemistry teacher & Detention Monitor when I was there.
Well, I frequented his detention regularly for years & came to know him as a creepy pervert! I personally experienced & know of a couple of other girls too….that were all propositioned, molested while being held down sitting on his lap, touched, & he influenced female students with his authority, etc…
The girls involved never really spoke of it & no one told the principal at the time, but I NEVER forgot what he did to me so many times! Then years after I graduated I heard of his promotion to principal in the local paper!!! I almost called the local cops!!!
I'm floored that no one after all of these years has said anything! I'm all grown-up now & would love to testify against creepy, old 'Salty Balls'!! Shouldn't he be Dead by now?
Anyone else have a similar problem with that fucking child molester? I'd love to finally break my silence!

Suddenly quiet here after my above post! Silence is the easy way out!
Sorry for the double posting.
Kincaid is a private school, not a boarding school.

Hi! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
