Earlier this evening as I headed back to my hotel, I passed through the mall area of the Prudential Center in Boston.
At one point, there was a kiosk in front of me that contained Russian Matryoshka dolls.
I noticed a guy hitting on the sales clerk at the doll kiosk. As I passed by, in total amazement, I heard the guy say to the girl, "Even the central banker of Italy used to work for Goldman Sachs."
Whether they know it or not, Goldman has a PR problem. When you have a guy hitting on a girl by displaying his sophistication about the world, and that sophisticated knowledge is that Goldman Sachs has penetrated every nook and cranny of government financial agencies around the world, Goldman is in trouble.
Not without justification, the masses now know that there is a revolving door between governments and Goldman Sachs. Not without justification, the masses are highly suspicious of the billions in "trading" profits Goldman has been making when most other financial firms are barely surviving on life support. They know that former Goldman CEO, Hank Paulson, as Treasury Secretary, snowed everyone who came within 30 feet of his breath.
I feel we are all in the early stages of a multi-act play. It's hard to tell how it will end, but it is clear this is a tragedy, not a comedy, that we are watching--and there will eventually be audience participation.
Glenn Beck repeats tonight at 2amEST. For anyone who didn’t see it....he had an awesome segment on Goldman today. He did a presentation that connected all the dots. Worth watching/taping. Props to Beck for doing what no one else is/will.
Won’t mean a thing until the Republicans take back the house or senate. :(
I have thought a long time that Paulsons head on a pike would look swell, real close to all the scum at AIG.
I’m not sure what to make of this blog. Someone has posted a few articles from it from time to time that seem interesting, but some of things talked about border on conspiracy theory.
I don’t think this site is completely objective, although it’s fairly entertaining.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
They’ll know when the end is coming for them, will short their own stock, or the top people there will, the stock price will fall, the shorters will make a lot of money, then take Goldman private again. Goldman was private, then right before the depression, went public, then soonafter went private again. They’ve been public for a while now.
I think that you might have missed this line:
It's hard to tell how it will end, but it is clear this is a tragedy, not a comedy, that we are watching--and there will eventually be audience participation.
It might not be the republicans taking back the government.
I hear what you are saying. I pray you are wrong.
Goldman ain’t dumb. With a class warfare shakedown artist in power, smartest thing to do to survive and prosper is grab him and hug him as closely as possible.

Thankis! I did not know that.
“Glenn Beck repeats tonight at 2amEST. For anyone who didn’t see it....he had an awesome segment on Goldman today. He did a presentation that connected all the dots. Worth watching/taping. Props to Beck for doing what no one else is/will.”
ummmm. According to my tv guide, I’m taping Glenn Beck at 2am....couldn’t sleep, turned on FOX and the O’Reilly show is repeating even though the guide says it’s Glenn Beck. What the heck is going on?
Glenn’s program was interrupted by breaking news yesterday and today. He said on his radio program today that he ordered that the tv program not re-run last night and it looks like he did the same again tonight. He was going to interview Ron Paul today and they cut to the shooting at the capitol and then to the shuttle launch.
We should pull an Iceland!

And that won't happen until they all line up for a mass gonad-reattachment party...
