Sad that I only have time for a linkfest, because several of these deserve more attention.
- Playboy chronicles the life of expat bankers in Buenos Aires – steaks, cocaine, klepto and tranny hookers, some literally “toxic” business deals… a must-read. Not particularly NSFW unless you’re at work and their site is blocked on your network. (h/t to eFinancialCareers)
- GM: Everything must go! Hey, we’ve got your parking lots in Flint, Michigan and New Jersey golf courses right heah
- Corrente tacks a name on the financial crisis and it’s dear to our hearts.
- Wondering what you can do with one of those California IOUs? Dump it on Bank of America.
- Overheating iPhone is overheating, Apple blames everyone and everything but Apple – namely, you, and the weather. Did you try to use it as an iPod in direct sunlight? How dare you? (h/t @ToddSullivan)
- Gordon Brown, don’t quit your day job:

Wonder how long it will be before California IOUs are traded as currency.

Whoa that’s quite a piece in Playboy.
I was aware that ultra high achieving males were obnoxious. Money buys friends.
I would hope they’d never work again, but they will.

have you read this: http://www.redstate.com/erick/2009/07/03/a-few-additional-and-hopefully-final-thoughts-on-sarah-palin/
?
the bit where Erickson describes why Sara Palin resigning is *just like* Ben Kenobi letting Darth Vader strike him down is brilliant. totally brilliant.

hey, those CA IOUs are supposed to pay 3.75% (APY?) on Oct. 2 — would probably help BoA
