Wow, those girls must be freezing.

Also, where is the 'Of Bears and Woods' tag?

There's plenty of good money to be made off of Doom.

Shouldn't Julia Allison and her crew be dancing with the bear, or at least the Balk?

So who had the $$$ to splurge on the hookers?

Hey Choire (what kind of retarded spelling is that anyway?),

Did your dad work for Lehman or something? You can see no reason why people would be against using PUBLIC money to pay for the salaries of a failed company other than homophobia and Schadenfreude? I know you're a super skilled "blogger" and all, but maybe you should stick to Internet "celebrity" gossip or something.

He's right, Choire.
Your name is pretty stupid.

You should read here more often, Douche: we've frequently written about the bailout as a fairly stupid and pretty much terribly bad idea.

Memo to YouDouche - the bailout and the Lehman severances are different issues. The severances (which go to most laid off employees including the mailroom guy and secretaries) are cancelled because of the bankruptcy case.

The bailout plan will use treasury funds to buy illiquid securities from financial institutions. Kinda not the same thing.

The bailout plan also doesn't stop golden parachutes already in effect - it just puts limits on golden parachutes that can be signed from here on out.

"Chore" spelled backwards unretardedly is "Eroica." It is, however, pronounced the same.

Even more unretarded, Karen, is to set up your line correctly: "Choire."

Doirk.

I obviously "need" to start "using" more quote marks to be "taken seriously" around here.
