I have bought a lot of April WFC puts in anticipation. They are in total denial on the Yahoo WFC thread. Easy money...

I remember when I was back in college (many many years ago) and read about China trying to encourage efficiency and reduce corruption in their state run businesses. They has a particular problem with a washing machine plant having rampant management corruption and lame excuses as to why production was so low. This article was about the reponse. The army went into the factory one afternoon, took all the staff out back, and executed all the managers in front of the workers. They then appointed new managers from the worker pool and said that if neccessary they would be back in a few months. I am not making this up.

The Feds need to do this with the California government.

You know, Gina, I thought for a moment the link you posted would be some far left, fringe publication so completely out to lunch that nobody would take it seriously. It turns out it's the online arm of the San Francisco Chronicle. LOL. Silly Californians, they elect bozos to office (both state and federal, in case you haven't noticed) and here is what they get for all their civic activities.

Imagine.
