- A LITTLE TOO LONG ON THE BUSINESS DESK: Here’s a wry bit of Gallows Humor from the Associated Press: “Kellermann’s death is the latest in a string of blows to Freddie Mac, which owns or guarantees about 13 million mortgages and us the No. 2 mortgage finance company after sibling Fannie Mae.” [AP]
“string of blows” - heh.
Did he die with his trucknutz on?
Jimmy darling, it appears U and I are a little mixed up.
[sic] that “us.” Should be “is.”
Bothered the crap out of me…
Yes, but who is Kaption King or Qaption Queen?
Now see, top executives of AIG, Citibank, Wachovia/Wells Fargo, Lehman Bros., etc.: this is how it’s done. Mr. Kellerman has provided a good example for you to follow.
us?
Hm, the typo was (still is) in the original.
you guys are faster.
I hope they’re both doing better soon.
Here’s a guy who was serious about going Galt.
Poor Freddie Mac! Committing suicide just as he was needed. Jerk!
Pathetic.
Come here a minute: You laugh, but who’ll be left to ruin the rest of our financial industry and and send U.S. jobs to Southeast Asia? Libs never have an answer for that.
If Freddie owns me, I want to be a major legatee in the will. Nuts to Fannie; sis can be left with a pittance (which may be truer than I wish to contemplate) If he guarantees me, man, I want to know just what ’bout me he’s guarantee-ing.
Kellermann’s death is the latest in a string of blows to Freddie Mac…. Yep, just like a worthless derivative. Did a human being write this stuff?
I didn’t realize Freddie Mac owns the AP. THAT explains Ron Fournier.
Roxana Saberi’s imprisonment in Iran’s notorious Evin Prison is the latest in a string of blows to the newspaper industry…
Was this another Crickett caption?
Aurelio: No, they have soulless homonculi to write this sort of thing.
Why do all of these powerful, unfailable conglomerates have names straight out of The Waltons?
This totally sucks. Whatever is up at Freddie Mac (christ, who names these things?) it’s not worth killing yourself. Dude probably had a family. I personally feel really shitty about this.
You may now return to your originally scheduled snark.
DangerousLiberal: Well, I have to say that this guy spent YEARS fashioning his own noose - I just don’t think he believed the day would actually come when the course of events would kick the chair out from underneath him. And now his family are the one’s left hanging. It’s a shitty, shitty, shitty deal. Yes.
In Japan, this would be an obligation.
Well, I guess since he killed himself, there’s a lot more to this story than we all know. I suspect graft on a massive scale that will be uncovered by FOX News or the Washington Times in about 15 minutes.
I’m tired of the expression ‘going postal’ can we start saying ‘going freddie’ now?
