haha...even montag has to take a drug test. If anyone wants to send their new boss a case of cranberry juice they should hurry before Costco/Sam's put an 800 gallon limit on purchases.

Breakdown of how "good" (bad) this is:
Analysts - "F-ing great! Sleeya in the Bahamas!"

Associates: "Looking good Lewis. Feeling good Billy Ray!"

VPs: "You gonna tell me the difference between this guy and that guy is luck?"

MDs: "You're walking around blind without a cane, pal. A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place. "

Damn you Carney--we were going to post on this but Anal_yst and I couldn't get to the mp3s through our respective interweb fortresses.

Any chance you could post the actual sounds on this site??

1) The muni business is going to be the ultimate black swan. No one defaults now, but when they start defaulting en masse it's going to get ugly (think about the pensions, slowing economy, tax competition, and falling real estate prices). Mark my words.

2) In the same vain, has anyone analyzed the principal-agent (moral hazard)problem of the municipalities NOT having to protect their credit rating until they need to refinance, which is someone else's problem.

@2:10 -- I'm miserable too. The only thing keeping me together today is the fact Erin Burnette is looking incredible today--something she hasn't done in a while.

Erin,

Call me.

"PE firms have no sense at all about the societal costs of their actions." Oh, you're right, we should just let distressed and poorly managed companies go bankrupt, that way no one is employed. Thanks for that deep insight, guest.

I'm hungover as hell. Who wants to fight?

@10:53 - I have a name, thank you very much. While I am not going to list the successful buyout companies (cheap cop out, i know-it's friday) I will say that your debt argument is hogwash (again, friday!).

@SEG - that FT article is ridiculous (not in a good way). No Gulfstream can break mach 1. Well maybe in the metric system they can. (that was a joke, i swear to god if someone calls me out for claiming there is a difference between US mach and euro mach I'll kill them--again, friday!)

@1059 - wtf is Icahn thinking?! Someone needs to send him a "sunk cost" white paper!

Oh how the tides have turned! You all (myself included) loved LC forever. We derided the switch to Julie A. And now we treat her like an airplane without a dance partner.

Sell, Mortimer...Sell!

@merkin: great analogy

More importantly, does anyone remember when Tim was a Madden "uncatchable" back in the day? The guy was good for 6pts every other time he touched the ball.

@4:32, so you're telling me you don't "get" things often, but rarely admit it? How's that credibility level treating you?

Crappy day.
