So Much To See And Do

Plenty of win on the internets today. Although we start with a complete and utter fail, courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] tiggerallyn's representative in the MD General Assembly. C'mon, dude, can't you guys find any better over there?

Winning is Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe in an open-letter response to Burns. Taken down by the punter. How embarassing. Warning: Kluwe likes his naughty words. All the same, I think I'll marry him:

Too Big To Fail

Finally watching the HBO movie of the same name. What does it say about a movie that the first non-scripted word in the film is 'motherfucker'?

Meanwhile, just minutes in, it's clear they're making Lehman Bros CEO Dick Fuld the bad guy...not to mention the delusional nutjob. Wonder if he still will be at the end.

From Sublime to Ridiculous

60 Minutes' piece on how the FDIC takes over a bank was easy to understand and, amazingly, kind of reassuring. My boss endorses this piece as well, and he knows his financials.
