    No, I'm pretty sure this story is true.
    I heard it while lying in a bathtub of ice in a Mexican hotel room with only one kidney.

    Every crime reporter instinct I have was screaming that there was something wrong with this story. Glad I wasn't in a position to write about it as if it were serious when it first came out.

    @nicepony:

    There's a scene in "The Notorious Bettie Page," which I saw recently, in which a woman acts as a decoy. I can't get it out of my head.

    @BowlingForDollars: Clearly marketing should've better differentiated the tweet, but I kind of think that suspending the ND and GM is like censoring the news or something.

    It's like saying, "follow us on twitter, where we'll spend an extra few seconds analyzing the headline, so that it'll look good on the freeway -- News tailored to avoid embarrassment, only on PMI"

    The market here is getting hammered as a result of this FYI. This morning the stuff I trade is off about 10-15% so far.

    @Trai_Dep: And on CNBC they are showing the indoor ski resort as if to say "look at the excess...no wonder they are having problems". Funny how the show looks on the other foot.

    @davebg5: It's also where they're tortured by police officers and relatives of high government officials for defaulting on grain debts.

    So I guess Halliburton will be moving it's headquarters back to the states.

    Hey I was just wondering.

    Has anyone seen that check from the Iraqi oil to pay for the Iraq war.

    We could really use the money.
