A little levity, please...

I saw B-squared recently, but due to a rousing round of "The Farmer's Game," neglected to get a good explanation of the current financial buggery our country seems to be undergoing. I guess that will have to wait until next time (if we make it that long). But while I check CNN.com obsessively during class, I am always amused by the stock photos they use to describe the meltdown. They particularly enjoy to capture the angst of the poor brokers, sitting on the floor of the NYSE with their heads in their hands, amidst the litter of the tickertapes and whatever the hell else it is they throw around down there. Fortunately, somebody funnier than me has put together a collection of these sad brokers and, since this is the Internet, has added witty captions (image 15 is my favorite). Click any of the pictures to start the slideshow. Bonus: I also just discovered an entire website devoted to this emerging fad.

And to burnPTCruisers: I'm not trying to deviate from the desired format for this blog. I've got another bigger post in the planning states, but this blog has been quiet for a while so I thought I'd try to liven it up a bit :)
