    nearly two-dozen housing experts … say a fix must allow many borrowers to stay in their homes, compensate disgruntled mortgage investors and allow banks to take write down loans without causing a repeat of the financial crisis of 2008.”

    Gee, why didn’t I think of that?

    Barbara Novick, vice chairman at BlackRock Inc: “We want to keep as many people in their homes as possible … keep losses manageable for the banks, but enforce principles of contract law as well.”

    Man, too bad they didn’t have this kind of brain power working on the original Marshall plan

    long time reader, first time commenter.

    was sent a link to this abortion of a story: http://www.businessinsider.com/warren-buffett-todd-combs-darien-castle-point#did-you-notice-his-american-flag-so-warren-buffett-of-him-11

    and couldn’t help but thinking it was a cheap attempt at mimicking this, straight down to the starbuck lede: http://dealbreaker.com/2006/09/pardon-me-but-might-i-suggest-greenwich-for-those-whove-given-up-all-hope/

    of course the BI version reads like an actual stalker/something out of the national enquirer (his house? really henry?) and the dealbreaker original is funny, original, you know the gist.

    not really sure what’s more egregious. the shameless, umpteenth attempt (and utter failture) at getting comstock to sound like BL or how utterly creepy the story was.

    Agreed. It’s like someone took Bess and subtracted the intelligence and humor.
