    When has another Fed ex-chairman been so vocal? Go away, old man. Time to rock in your chair and learn the pleasures of drooling on yourself.

    I feel the stripper story is being seriously undervalued here…strippers fighting, one bit the others fake knockers…the one who got bit had a tattoo of a guys name on her tit, which is what was actually bitten…the one who got attacked was just interupting the stripper who was trying to leave early against managements wishes…I could make a movie of this…of course it would only be about 10 minutes and would end differently…bow chicka wow wow

    @8 Its probably about as titilating as attending a RICK’s investor presentation.

    –guy who’s attended RICK investor presentations and has not been titilated

    I always ask the strippers to tell me their favorite Disney moving growing up. I find it humanizes them a bit, takes them back to the innocence of their youth. The days when they had bigger and better dreams then taking their clothes off for money, giving pseudo handies to drunk guys in dark rooms and scoring 8 balls after a shift.

    Why did the NYSE have all those Texas flags presented at the bell ringing this morning when the nation of Chile was being honored?

    @naked, when you went to the strip club, did you go commando in a pair of windpants? Or umbro soccer shorts?

    goldman will still have to face criminal charges and they will find going to jail is worse than handing over 550 million of stockholders money…

    @18 – yeah, saw you post that in another thread verbatim. It was wrong and douchey-sounding there too. Take your petty jealousy and insecurity-inspired need to see the winners punished elsewhere, please.
