Article mentioned above.

Article by Rick Newman.

In summary it's his thoughts on the Wall St talent that may walk due to not being paid bonuses from the bailout dollars. Interesting take.

berkeley 'em.

The footsoldiers lost their jobs and didn't get any major bonuses. They just lost their jobs. Let the execs cry over their lost bonuses. At least they still have high-paying jobs.

I'm starting to think that some of this is just a correction from how bloated/out of control things got.

This would be the same "talent" that ran Wall Street into the ground and required a bailout in the first place, right?

Quite a talent.

Might I suggest "Bailout" or "Elected Represenative"

Reopen Guantanimo and place all the "talent" there since they represent the greatest act of Terrorism to happen on US soil.

Dear Wall Street,

If these douche's walk.. I will gladly take their jobs at their normal pay rates.. You don't need to pay me a bonus.. I'm cool with $150k as a standard salary.

P.S. I may not have a business degree, but I have a head on my shouders instead of up my @$$.

You'd think that in these tough times, they'd start outsourcing some of their corporate talent. Out of curiosity, ts Dick Dauch/American Axle in that coalition?

Douche has no filter, since you're obviously referring to the the shower room.
