Defending the indefensible

Lehman Brothers’ Richard Fuld is angry:

Fuld said he took “full responsibility” for the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and “felt horrible” about it.

But Fuld said he has yet to understand why the federal government helped to bail out the AIG insurance company and other investment banking firms, but did not do so a few days earlier to save Lehman Brothers.

“Until the day they put me in the ground, I will wonder,” Fuld told the Congressional panel, seeming to seethe with anger.

“This is a pain that will stay with me the rest of my life.”

It’s really stunning.

    We should let them all burn. I am in the industry, and am a rah rah cheerleader for corporate America. Good CEOs are worth their weight in platinum. I condemn the left that wants to limit CEO pay. My objection is to bad CEOs. They deserve nothing. Lehman got what they deserved.

    Anyway, I came across your site through the Pajamas Media site.

    • Holding Caulfield (corrected)
      I could have linked to a million stories on this, but Publishers Weekly seems appropriate: Finding that author J.D. Salinger is “likely to succeed on the merits of its copyright case,” a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction late on Wednesday afternoon, barring the publication of what Salinger’s attorneys called an unauthorized sequel to The Catcher […]

      Impulse buying, King of Pop style: Branca had a surprise for Jackson. The attorney said casually, ‘By the way, the ATV catalogue is available.’ Jackson looked puzzled. Branca added teasingly, ‘It includes a few things you might be interested in.’ ‘Like what?’ Jackson asked. ‘Northern Songs,’ Branca replied. Jackson recognized that name. ‘You mean the Norther […]

      Burger King’s trademark place is kind of funny.   If you Google His Majesty’s Monicker along with the word TRADEMARK, you get this link, which not only asserts, naturally, his royal BURGER KING® registered mark, but the far more dubious BK® mark down at the bottom, yet not at all (on that page) the ancient [...] […]
