Monday Morning Links – What Would Dogbert Do?
- Third time’s a charm? No, more likely the third time’s an epic failure. But now, we’re saying we’re bailing out AIG to save the ENTIRE WORLD, so that should give you some warm fuzzies. Also, the Fed now has a preferred interest in Alico and AIA. Since when did the Federal Reserve have any place in the life insurance business? Oh, since today. (Says a commenter on FTAlphaville, “99 red billions go *bye*“)
- Really, seriously, someone would rather hang out with Rush Limbaugh?
- Older story, but one that I like. Anxiously awaiting Young Jeezy’s next album, “Let’s Get It: Green Jobs 101.”
- The anti- “clean coal” crowd now has an ad campaign sporting a dead cartoon canary and a slick video from the Coen brothers. (I’m not a clean coal opponent, but I do appreciate good marketing when I see it, and it doesn’t get much better than a cool iconograph + celebrity friends.)
- No such thing as a free lunch, especially if you were expecting one from Quiznos.
- I would love to ride along with a repo man, especially one picking up a motorcoach or a Gulfstream. Or even a Maserati. Definitely would like to repo a Maserati. Yep.
- Spansion? Looks more like contraction.

I thought this was AIG’s fourth trip to the federal teat.

As a matter of fact, they built their business on Black and Hole option pricing model.

Ed Liddy on the today show said, “we have a very simple belief, if you owe people money pay it back”
ROTFLMAO.

The real EPIC FAIL for AIG? Not managed to lost USD 100bn, but “only” 99.3bn… A 100bn loss would be great for LOLgraphs on LOLFed!
