It's not often that I'm proud of the Bush administration, so this calls for a double shot.

If they had drawn the line on Bear Stearns maybe we could have avoided bailing out Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac. The moral (hazard) of the story: if you're not "too big to fail", you'd best get there quick unless you want to be the next Lehman (I'm looking at you, bulge bracket).

10pm? What about all of us who have to cover the euro bond markets? Sheesh.

This is almost as bad as when they pushed back the evening meal reimbursement circa 2000. I used to love to see those back-office IT types coming over to EMA to get their limp fries and all-day-baked pizza from under the sunlamps. It was like the gnomes coming out from the caves for manna.

Us pros know that the food in the trade floor kiosk on EMA7 is always fresh (if never cheap).

Nigga pleez -- anyone who's been to Jackson knows that the real money keeps their tax residence on the Wyoming side of the park.
