This is bad. The deal will be turned down imo
and the current government will fall.

The SP500 futures don't seem to be that worried at this point.

I like the part that says,
"An important annual parade was cancelled"
it was the govmonkery who decided it was important,
right up there with a Gay Pride job, which in Greece
is not pleasant to imagine.

So far, that's all speculation......IF he did it, he should become Madoffs'

Boy oh Boy.. He went from Hero to Zero fast.. He apparently is not
showing his face.. I know how I feel when I loose $5k in a stupid

I've talked to people who were at GS when he was there......He was never
regarded as a Hero.....He did make some big $$s but he had the charm appeal
of buffy.....

Lloyd Blankfein seems pretty in control. He had to figure out how to
pass out $11B in bonuses that were make off Government Bail-Out Money
and AIG bets...or risk a mass exodus of GS talent.
