TGIF: Goldman's Town Hall; Good, Bad News About Economy
August 28, 2009 @ 07:19 AM | By Penny Crosman
David Weidner stages a Goldman Town hall and Jon Stewart's take on the U.S. economy.
Goldman's Town Hall Meeting
David Weidner at MarketWatch has envisioned what a Goldman Sachs town hall would be like.
To give you a taste, here's the first question and answer:
"Question 1: Is it true that the $180 billion bailout of American International Group was really a bailout of Goldman? You made more than 20 phone calls to then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson in the week leading up to the initial AIG loan that resulted in $10 billion flowing directly to your firm?
Blankfein: As we've tried to make clear, our AIG exposure was hedged -- hedged by our deep influence in Washington."
It's a witty and incisive take on a company whose practices have for too long gone unquestioned.

TGIF: The Poetic Beauty of Palin's Tweets
July 31, 2009 @ 09:24 AM | By Greg MacSweeney
Love her or hate her (I don't think there is a middle ground, is there?), Sarah Palin's Twitter tweets can be poetic, but only when read by The Captain, William Shatner. The Tonight Show's Conan O'Brien brings in Captain Kirk, aka Denny Crane, to read Palin's tweets verbatim. The result is a strange free verse that Shatner takes to a new level. Enjoy on this rainy Friday. TGIF!
Also, Shatner recites Palin's final speech. Palin's final speech was a thing of poetic beauty...And who does poetry better than Shatner?

Michael Lewis Clears Up Misconceptions About Goldman
In a Bloomberg article, Bashing Goldman Sachs Is Simply a Game for Fools, Liar's Poker author Michael Lewis, adopting the persona of a Goldman employee, explains the firm's perspective on recent unflattering press reports. For instance, he debunks the rumor that Goldman Sachs owns the U.S. government: "Every time we hear the phrase 'the United States of Goldman Sachs' we shake our heads in wonder. Every ninth-grader knows that the U.S. government consists of three branches. Goldman owns just one of these outright; the second we simply rent, and the third we have no interest in at all. (Note there isn’t a single former Goldman employee on the Supreme Court.)"

Obama Works the Tonight Show; Sesame Street Explains the Madoff Scandal
March 20, 2009 @ 06:49 AM | By Penny Crosman
It's been a good week in financial-crisis comedy. President Obama starred on the Tonight Show last night, talked about bonuses and the financial industry and cracked a few good jokes; Sesame Street's Ernie and Cookie Monster came up with a concise explanation of Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme; Samantha Bee at the Daily Show crafted a witty, cutting segment on short sellers.
Obama Works the Tonight Show
President Barack Obama’s interview with Jay Leno last night was more dignified, serious and articulate than funny, but that seems appropriate for a sitting President. He called for common-sense financial regulation, explained that the AIG bonuses did have a legal basis and defended Tim Geithner's work as Treasury Secretary. On the lighter side, he reported that his daughters are unimpressed with Air Force One and when asked about the much-discussed, yet-to-arrive family dog, joked, “This is Washington, and that was a campaign promise.” (Actually, Obama said the dog “will be there shortly.”) Obama’s best line of the night (in my opinion): “They say if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.”
