    How can you even tell at this resolution? And 'ad hoc hiring' has become the sweetest thing my ears ever did hear. Nothing like skipping behavioral questions for which everyone practices answers in favor of skipping straight to the hard stuff.

    Is Luis the well-bred Mexican version of Louis Carruthers?

    @Anal, The question is whether Galloway will smirk proudly at that best-defense-is-a-good-offense, or just explode. Were I the professor I'd be proud of the little prick growing some spine rather than the dickless wonder pondering why he can't come in mid-lecture, but ymmv.

    @25 Of course they have to pay taxes dumbfuck. He was filing income tax returns when he failed to pay the employer's share of payroll taxes. Which the IRS says that half of the IMF's American employees haven't.

    @145 Kinkaid may be better than Strake, but I like Cluzo more than you.

    @7 culture would have been a ref to Full Metal Jacket. Rambo? Seriously? But let's talk more important issues: what is EP doing right now that is keeping her from commenting on a Dan Loeb post? I say that our poor man's Carmen Sandiego is flying a Cessna nap of the earth with UBS tax docs.

    Greg, you could have at least opined about how Larry would fare against HBS's terror-inspiring Professor Coffee Mug

    Bess @17 captures a hell of a lot of what we've missed. Tax Chick, I brought extra chapstick if you need to borrow.

    You imply that there's a problem if bankers end up with more compensation under a scheme that's both riskier and more closely tied to their own performance. Either Arrow or Alchian demonstrated that that outcome was beneficial to both owner and employee decades ago. On the off chance that you're asserting that it's an unintended and unwanted outcome from the administration's point of view, I think that qualifies as an ideological blind spot.

    @28 I don't like the plural/singular combination. Nags and nerds continues to lead the field. And that nose looks like the prow of a schooner that faked its way in, disguised as a cocksure slattern. -maritime-themed Novice

    @14 Typical Moody's, tossing out Aaa ratings for fast-depreciating assets.

    @20 I'll buy August calls on the entire lot. There's still hope.
