As you may remember, prior to his flogging on Capitol Hill, we were privy to Goldman Sachs employee Fabrice Touree’s emails to lady-friend he was looking to bed. He did so by begging off the “fabulous” titles (“I’m not fabulous, you’re fabulous”) and laying it on embarrassingly thick with Marine Serras (with lines like “[My friend Mitch] would call me the fabulous Fab even though there is nothing fabulous about me, just kindness, altruism and deep love for some gorgeous and super smart French girl in London”). In its recently released “who to blame for the crisis” report, the FCIC thought it prudent to release a few more excerpts. Continue reading »

And what was this about?
No matter what your level of sobriety during last night’s game in Dallas, you should all be able to recall just how much the commercials sucked.
