Replacing Bernanke would also give the Chinese the problem of trying to figure out what's the Mandarin equivalent of "Andrei Shleifer"

Greg, let me join the bandwagon of haters here. Your last paragraph isn't facetious enough to be funny, and your defense of Exxon is out of touch. If there's one thing that the limousine liberals and paranoid hedgies here can agree on, it's the righteous outrage of "what the hell did you do to my land!" (cf: Greenwich bulldozers settling property disputes)
Burying perf gun explosives in South Texas is inherently funny. And you blow it.

Ken,
It may be five o'clock in Tehran but they don't allow liquor there. Ditto public comments without the approval of the Ayatollah (me). Take a hint.

@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.

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.

@3 So you'll willingly be risk-loving when it comes to your primary compensation?

@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.
