		<description>[...] And of course, we have the allegation by the Congressional staffer of revisions to the derivatives bill coming from Goldman, but in a form where the firm has plausible deniability, and of course, it insists it had nothing to do with this missive. Guess they are being a bit more careful now that Matt Taibbi has been posting various Goldman lobbying documents. [...]</description>

		<description>THE NAMING OF WALL STREET FAT CATS
THE NAMING OF WALL STREET FAT CATS
(The Naming of Cats, Old Possum&#039;s Book of Practical Cats, TS Elliot)
WilliamBanzai7&#039;s Book of Wall Street Fat Cats

The Naming of Wall Street fat cats is a difficult matter,
It isn&#039;t just one for bank holiday chatter;
You may think at first I&#039;m as mad as Cramer the CNBC hatter
When I tell you, a fat cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there&#039;s the name that the trader&#039;s use daily,
Such as Jimmy, Dickie, Kenny or Jamie,
Such as Henry or Lloydie, or Johnny or Bernie -
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen gangsters, some for the dames:
Such as Maestro, Gorilla, Bandit and Ace -
But all of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a fat cat needs a name that&#039;s particular,
A name that&#039;s peculiar, and more infamous,
Else how can he keep his pinstriped network reticular,
Or save his whiskers, and cover his backside?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Bootstrap, Lucky-me, or Will Con-you,
Such as Ponzo, or Boeski and Screwless Ken Lewis -
Names that never belong to more than one fat cat.
But above and beyond there&#039;s still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no financial sleuth can discover -
But THE WALL STREET FAT CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a fat cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of the name of:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Latest, deepest and inscrutable CON GAME.</description>

		<description>Hey Matt, not to change the subject too much... I was wondering if you have been watching the GS involvement in the pending doom at CIT.  It seems they are sucking the last bits of blood from the dying carcuss in their typical extortional ways. 100s of millions (in fees) are flowing to Goldman.  Something to keep an eye on.  Appreciate your interpretation, since I (the public) am not very good at reading between the lines.</description>

		<description>Matt -- 

You know that most pension funds would agree with Goldman here, right? I&#039;m not arguing that the overall message about dark pools is wrong, necessarily, just that pension funds have a reputation as big, lumbering mammals -- think not dik-dik, but prehistoric tree sloth. And there are a number of ways in which they can get bitten when trying to sell, say, 500K shares of IBM. I&#039;m a biz reporter, so if you ever want to discuss these things, try me...</description>

		<description>&quot;Dark pools?&quot; That&#039;s almost as funny as Enron naming one of their fake energy-shuffling services &quot;Death Star&quot; -- except that even Enron didn&#039;t whip that shit out in front of Congress. With a straight face, no less.</description>
