I just read in the times that Switzerland, as well as Austria and Luxembourg, are going to unlock the swiss bank account, essentially eliminating the whole point of having a swiss bank account. Granted, they will only exchange information with other countries on individual tax evasion cases where there are “specific and justified” requests. But come on people!! Isn’t the whole point of having a Swiss bank account to avoid paying taxes? This failing economy sucks. What a fucking mess. I guess I’ll have to move my money from UBS. What a pain!

I partied so hard with some wells fargo dudes a few years ago! Holy shit. I can’t even remember their names — met them at some recruitment conference over at the Moscone Center and got hammered. We ended up at some joint in North Beach called the lusty lady at like 4am. Disgusting! Those San Fran dudes are nuts! They just lost 2.6 billion. Poor bastards. Looks like their holding their own though. Not me — donate some money, please!

If you read this blog you know that I am all for bailouts. But this is too much! This obvious PR stunt only undermines the seriousness of the current economic climate, and the desperate need for strategic “save the economy before it goes under” bailouts. Wall street needed a bailout! The auto industry needed a bailout! I STILL need a bailout! Larry Flynt and Joe Francis do not need a bailout!! This is serious business! I’m so annoyed I just cancelled my 5 year subscription to Girls Gone Wild. Hustler, I’m afraid, I cannot live without.

Man, this Madoff scheme is a real mess. The thing is, if we weren’t in this media driven recession, his ponzi scheme might have continued for another 20 years, and no one would have been the wiser. Hey Randy Cohen, If everyone’s getting paid, does it matter if they’re not getting paid the way they think they are?

On a side note, I’m pretty sure my old friend Dexter works for the Fairfield Greenwich Group. They lost 7.5 billion because of Madoff.

Is it strange that I really want a new car? I know that I’ve got no job and am in major debt, and it’s not like my 2007 Audi TTS Roadster is outdated. It’s just that i really like the new grill on the 2009 models, and I REALLY like the new Audi Allroad. Of course, they don’t even make the Audi Allroad in the states, so I would have to ship it in from Europe. But fuck it, right? I mean, it’s awesome looking, and the wife and I have talked about having kids soon, and that will make a great family car. Who am I kidding? I’ll probably get it.
