the final shot is a like a cherry on top. nice photo reportage! and are those festive "black monday" FOX News balloons?
Thanks! Yeah, those Fox balloons were baffling -- was going to do a whole post just on them...to promote your program at a time like this?...and balloons? And black balloons? I followed them for a bit to see if one of the balloons would pop...One more thing bursting on Wall Street.
Wall Street didn't cause this mess. It was the poor management of Freddie and Fannie. People like Mudd, Gorelick, Franklin Raines, and James A. Johnson pirated Freddie Mae. In the 80's Freddie almost went out of business from investments in mortgage backed securities and investments in real estate. nomedals.blogspot.com

Wall Street didn't cause this mess? Lehman and Bear Stearns didn't do this to themselves, it was someone else's fault? I don't understand that comment at all.
