    The funny thing: when I used to work in the same office as Taibbi's agent, I told her I was a fan, and he asks her: Is a young, hairy-knuckled young Jew?" She answered in the affirmative. Apparently, most of us are.

    Interesting this came out just about the same time that the GS pr machine cranked out their new "mea culpa letsa throw some money atta the problem".

    Some say that calamari is Italian slang for mafia. Yes? Verifiable?

    @D2theMatthews: To be fair: that's an octopus and Taibbi is describing a vampire squid. Squids are faster, leaner and more invisible. And vampires are undead, hard to kill and easily disguised.

    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.
