Hockey's problems are that they have too many people with funny accents commentating during the game. If they could get Joe Buck and Tim McCarver to do their bang-up job on Hockey, the sport would really take-off.

"Nationalizing private pensions so you that the government can raid the money to pay-off it's foreign debts elsewhere to stay solvent." Holy sncheikies!

Hugo Chavez must be happy with his investment of Oil Largesse into Argentine Debt.

If I got no bonus at all, I'd likely default on my house payments. Oh the irony, Barney.

Although I do follow the perverse logic here, the thing about bonuses is that you can cut them the fuck off when you write-down 18 billion dollars of goodwill, unlike salary. Cause you don't think that motherfuckers are just going to accept their 150k base?

While Iceland may be (barely) more populous then Lehman Bros, the aggregated dick size of both participants would have Lehman winning hands down.

Also reedamable for golf-clubs: cash. Also good for lap dances and narcotics. Not so much with spirit points.

I suspect that Chuck Schumer doesn't really hate Goldman.
