    Dear avid Dealbreaker readers,

    Timmy was becoming too distracted by your exuberant posts, and began losing sight of why the good God put him on this great earth… To save the entire econmic world.

    Your disguraging comments have really hurt his feelings and confidence in himself.

    What is a good mom to do?
     
    Obviously, I had to step in and take matters into my own hands. 
    It was me I pulled the plug.

    I hope you find it in your hearts to forgive me.

    <3,

    TG's Mommy

    Chad and Ranjit from “Tech and Talk” got mad about the Vikram Pandit posts.

    I’m going to go with bUdakh0n. Either that or Matt Taibbi throwing a horse-semen pie into the server racks.

    you probably get this a lot. This isn’t the real Caesars Palace, is it?

    1,880 access denied messages overwhelmed the servers while Bess tried repeatedly to view the trannycap.com website.

    The server mess was left over from the previous administration, like every other problem in the world

    Paul Volcker was fleeing Maria Bartiromo aka the purple dress. Unfortunately On his way to make his beloved speech he got lost in the Dealbreaker server room where he has been trapped and scared for months. Finanly after all this time PV lost it, he is currently stuffing the computers with fecal matter in a deluded attempt at escape. It is best we leave him there he only has a few days left until his tired body gives out.

    Jim Cramer…he’s jealous of Bess’ celebrity. He was also bound to take the next great thing down, seeing he already had his way with the American economy.
