I’m fine with Wells Fargo partying before selling the house. Luck and wealth are more indistinguishable than rich ocean-front folk like to think. That the merely “lucky” Wells executives got a turn at the beach … how “unfair.”
Hey Felix just wanted to say thanks for the link. Have a great weekend.

Southern Fried Science?
Thanks for the link, Felix!
Yes, Southern Fried Science, flippant. My co-writer and I are both scientists that live in the South.

Felix, thanks for the pointer to the Sesame Street show. If you haven’t already, I hope you do take the time to watch it. (You can stream the whole thing at http://www.sesameworkshop.org/toughtimes ) I work at a major financial institution, and I think everyone in finance, and in the “high-powered” world in general, ought to watch this show, to get a sense of what the recession actually means. I enjoy geeking out about the ins and outs of high finance, but this show was one of the best pieces of reporting I’ve yet seen on the recession.
