    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.

    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

    @Jill7: For at almost a decade, they've been telling parents to keep the kid's computer in a public room, so their usage could be monitored.

    This wouldn't be as conducive to the privacy needs of her teenage fanclub, as an an easily-purchased magazine which could be taken to their rooms.

    Give them a taste and they may go for the (s)mile.

    Frankly, how powerful and confident can her vagina be if she has to keep talking it up?

    When her vagina grants an interview, then and only then, will I give it the benefit of the doubt.

    the most misguided media decision of the decade

    WTF? The photos are all over the internet and it's safe to bet that some pageviews will result in hardcopy sales, which could introduce a new reader to the reconfigured, rethought Rolling Stone.

    Basically, it looks like an attempt at standard-issue viral marketing to me.

    Oh, and she appears to be pretty girl.
    Thanks for the link.

    as usual, they take the statements that can be used as headlines and blow everything off. i read the article today. not as incendiary as one may think. she basically says that men are threatened by intelligent women who are unapologetic about their sexuality. this is true.

    A good electric shock will clear that right up.
