Goldman Sachs meddling

I'm in the middle of reading Rolling Stone's expose on Goldman Sachs. Heard about it on the Michael Savage show while I was coming home from town earlier today. Spent a few hours putting primer on purple walls at church. UGH! The purple still shows a bit through the primer, but if I put on 2 coats of paint, it should not come through.

Back to Goldman Sachs. These guys are just plain DIRTY. From what I've read, they were deep and dirty in the big Wall Street bust of 29, the Internet Bubble, the mortgage fiasco, and that's as far as I've gotten so far. I wish my memory was a bit better, because Michael had a few things to say about the company, basically that it is running the government now, and Obama is just the frontman for Goldman Sachs now.

This article goes into depth about their meddling, and wheeling dealings. It makes you feel like you should take a shower afterwards.

    Goldman/Sachs is one reason why capitalism fails...
    Not a great bunch of people, that's for sure.

    As to PURPLE...in a CHURCH?
    What the deuce?

    Oh, wait, from what my in-laws told me about certain parts of southern TX like Brownsville,Harlingen etc, some of the "locals" tend to paint structures according to whatever color is on SALE...that's why you see PURPLE houses, AQUA houses, and assorted other colors.
    Must be a cultural thing....

    Purple IS a REGAL color, and I'm SURE it's not THAT DEEP a purple (deep purple...good name for a rock band) hue...right?

  2. Yeah, Goldman's incredible (in a bad way). I guess these guys stretched their egos so far that they snapped their morals in the process. If we had more people that cared about other people, what a wonderful life this would be.
