When the credit card companies call my husband tells them to get their money from the bailout.

Digg it

Thanks Lisa.

Good evening firepups.

and then there’s this via Kevin Drum:

Credit Suisse Group said Thursday it will use up to $5 billion of its own illiquid assets such as mortgage securities to pay senior staff year-end bonuses at its investment bank, a move meant to spread risk more evenly between the bank and its employees.

The Zurich-based bank plans to pool commercial mortgage-backed securities and leveraged loans it can’t sell because demand has seized up, then dole out units in the entity to managing directors and directors as part of this year’s pay, according to a memo made available by a spokesman.

There’s certainly an appeal to this, isn’t there? Eating their own dog food, so to speak. Or their own toxic waste, as the case may be. I wonder if this idea will spread to Wall Street?

I won’t make it to Late Late Nite tonite.

My regrets to the LLN folks.

Ms MM, you were on fire today! What a long, weird, thread that was with the fundies. Good heavens it took me hours after work to read that thing. And you and FunnyDiva were the best. Then comes the Raven…

Evening, all-
We are in some very Darwinian times. “Root, hog, or die!” seems to be the watchword.

Yes. Mary, you were brilliant.

She WAS!!!

did I miss Warren piece?

And what I loved with that thread (ok, one can see that I have a boring life after the office) is that Pups came and went — my god hours went by…

Pun, you sure did, and you would have LOVED it.

heh, War and Peace, you devil.

Yes, lots of the Good Lard on that thread.

you were great too, Dosido!

Rick Warren looks like Chuck Todd’s fat, drunk older brother.
