Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Just a few days ago, I saw a news report basically to the effect that when a major news agency (AP, I think) inquired to a number of bwankers concerning what they'd done with that unimaginable sum of bailout money they got from the US gov't, they more or less couldn't account for it, saying things like "we don't keep records of that," or other things which seemed in many cases to amount to "We don't know, and if we did, we wouldn't tell you." By comparison, at least the Big 3 auto companies have had to answer some fairly pointed questions about what their plans are, for a much smaller amount of money.

The least they could have done would be to send several thousand to each of us Katefancys. Y'know, put the money where it's needed. ~~this house is full of madness~~ dave's space

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	On a slight tangent: Isn't it amazing how people's names so often fit with what they're all about? Like the fact that one of the major developers early on in nanotechnology was named Smalley? And here, we have a guy named Madoff, who, well, made off with something like $50 billion. Apparently the biggest single heist of all time, for a single individual. Except that, it seems, he didn't quite manage to make off with it, before it all fell through.
