Earlie :-) really though, they've been lying for years, we know they've been lying, they know we know they're lying, they haven't been able to erase Japan's charts, could have exposed this to a little sunshine several years back & been done with it - although it wouldn't have made certain desirable targets millionaires or billionaires, while breaking many undesirables targeted. If this has all been coming from the executive branch ala GS & ESF, I guess there's some mandate it continue for 2 more weeks. How's Dubya gonna break the news?? I don't think there's really many uninformed any more given the closeness of the election that wanted Clinton/Gore out, and obviously the Dems already knew the game they were running, thus the embarrassingly desperate attempt to stay in power. Wonder if Dubya has replacements for Maria, Abby, Joey etc... nice letter, Tom

You've Heard The Saying That "They Who The Gods Would Raise Up, They First Make Humble" I think it works both ways "They Who The Gods Would Humble, They First Raise Up" Still, I can't help thinking that I must be missing something. This a just part of some overall brilliant strategy that has yet to be fully played out. Having said that, I've lost a fair amount of money in this market overestimating people's intelligence. <gg>

Sheesh Cousin Earlie, Put a sock in it. <g> I do like talking to you because I can lay off the fedspeak and speak english with you. You know I was in the thesaurus looking up "sock" (stocking, hosiery, etc. etc.) trying to sound more obscure and dignified and mysterious, but realized that I don't have to do that with you and I can just talk straight forward with you. Speaking of that, did you see AJ Cohen of Goldman last night on with that smartass Rukeyser? She must want my job because she can sure talk like an oracle. You think she has one of those strings on her back that they pull and out comes the mystery sound bite? I'm going to have to study those tapes and brush up because she may even have me beat. And yes, I did hear that punster Lou invite me to appear on his show. Cripes, doesn't he know I have a monumental moral hazard to oversee. Son, it's called the banking system. Everybody places their bets and I gets to bail 'em out. Those dopes over at bankamerica. Yikes, I got the midnight call, woke up me and the young wife you know, and heard they had played derivative bingo all over the map and needed me to come to their rescue. Another LTCM. Had to work yesterday morning with the press release denying the whole thing. No losses yet, you know, only what they call paper losses and I can handle that since I have the papermills and printing presses under my control, nephew. Yikes, son, I have to run now, and I'll write you later. But don't fret about the mortgage. Do whatever you want. Remember that in the end it doesn't matter, because I'll bail you out. Boy, it's fun being a legend... Uncle Al
