    The smartest things Roubini ever had to say he said 9 months ago. Ever since he's just riding the publicity train to tuna town as often as he can before his 15 minutes are up. He probably laughs that anybody thinks his stupid asset bubble comments merit as much attention as they got last week. Good for him though. Carpe Diem.

    I'd rather you had left it broken, and I could have lived in denial for 2 minutes longer.

    Which one is Fuld? That slimy thing with the odor issues that's gasping for air, hoping it survives for the next 10 minutes before being cut to pieces? Or the fish?

    That's me with the "Raise Rates" vote. I'm hoping a conversation takes place that goes like this: "Raise the rates? Did you ride the short bus in today? If you can find me even ONE person thinks it's a good idea, we'll do it."

    A little hypersentive and sanctimonious, if you ask me. (No one asked, but eff it.) Bess's comment is clearly satire, as, realistically, Maria Bartiromo's birthdate ISN'T historically significant. So to try an draw a correlation between a satirical, insignficant event, and a tragic, extremely significant event, just as justification for some kind of manufactured moral outrage, is insincere and fraudulent. That the "It's 9-11, I have to pay homage to that date in everything I do today" thought isn't in the constantly forefront of someone's mind just speaks to their own mindset. It has nothing to do with how they feel about what happened, or how they respect the "sanctity" of the memory of the event. Some of you may be spending the day entranced in rememberance and/or mourning, others have other ways of recognizing what happened. They're not being "disrespectful" to it, or you, in any way. Be honest - do any of you really believe that the post was actually implying that Maria Bartiromo's birthday is more historically significant than the September 11th attacks?

    So, essentially, Merrill's that crackhead on the corner. "Just give me $5! No - $3!, come on mannnnnnn.... I'll ____ your ____!. A dollar, that's all I need man, come on! I just need a little to get me through today."

    Anyone over there at Merrill know much about these "Compooter" things to hit Alt-Print Scrn? Then you can just send that image over the interwebs and people can see it way better than if you just take your 1985 Polaroid Instamatic and snap a pick.

    "A good question. To use a political science term, the proximate -- the immediate" That's exclusively a political science term? Who is this chick - Harry from Dumb & Dumber? "I specialize in Canines. DOGS, to the layperson"

    @8 - at least they didn't surrender 20 meters into the race. That's a first for them... Maybe someone put soap in the water.

    You forgot the fact that it wasn't just weed. We sprinked on Angel Dust... PCP... Penecyclidine. You ever seen what this stuff does to kids?

    This is horsecrap. They've cropped that picture. I've seen the original. Just to the right is a leopard-print thong-clad, baby-oil covered Leon Phelps sipping on some Courvoisier in a sex swing. What the hell happened to Journalistic Integrity?
