    In reply to Announcing the Goldman Project
    Goldman is pretty evil though as any reader of #RollingStone knows. Rolling Stone has had excellent and detailed articles regarding #Goldmanstheft over the months - The latest was "Wall Street's Naked Swindle" by Matt Taibbi (I think he wrote most of them) in the October 15th issue. And yes, Rolling Stone has some excellent writers/researchers. #goldmansachs

    @drewonline:

    The "Naked Swindle" article was discredited. For example, his use of the Pension system video made no mention of the rejection processes for those trades and the compliance constraints on writing options positions at institutions. He also materially mis-stated the process and clearinghouse systems for the share-acquisition portion of covering naked positions. Taibbi's sources are clueless kids.

    @Unsolicited Advice: Well, I get most of my news from #Gawker so who am I to question #RollingStone. But I have read some of the criticisms regarding #MaybeNotSureAboutMattTaibi - so, point taken, but they do make for a good read. Ok, promise to stop the hash tag thing in 3,2,1... #goldmansachs

    @Unsolicited Advice: So aside from those rather minor errors, you don't dispute that GS is a giant blood-sucking vampire squid? #goldmansachs

    @PinkPundit:

    I dispute that as well. The vampire squid is the entity making it all possible, the entity scraping the blood money off the top of each of your paychecks: the Federal Government. There's your bloodsucker; break out the forks and fires for the President and the leering cult of cash burners in Congress. #goldmansachs

    @Unsolicited Advice: Ok, I get it. When the gov takes your money, it's bloodsucking. When Goldman does, it's the magic of the marketplace. #goldmansachs
