There's more financial news this Sunday night than on most weekdays.

[randomness]

Lehman Brothers looks like it's going to file for bankruptcy tonight.

Merrill Lynch is selling itself to Bank of America to avoid a similar fate.

American International Group has asked the Federal Reserve for a $40 billion loan.

It's the phase of the moon! :) Or the phase of the business cycle, anyway.

Whoa.

ML is one of my company's clients. They had a whole buncha bigwigs show up last week for an on-site visit. Nobody really knew what it was all about but there was a clear sense of Big Tension among all the higher-ups. I wonder if they were actually BoA types evaluating us to determine whether or not to remain a client.

Again, I say unto thee, whoa.

I thought for a minute that your icon was a young Noam Chomsky. Imagine my relief when I figured out who it really was!

It's the smugness, isn't it? Very confusable indeed.
