We can bail you out, pal. Don't worry. Just relax and try not to make eye contact with the other inmates. Do you like gladiator movies? Have you ever seen a grown man naked?

Folks, in comparison to percentage of GDP, bailing out AIG is not a big deal. Even then, I much prefer a bail out and subsequent sequential sell off versus a run on the banks.

Thinking about it. . . I do hope they actually sell that shit off. . . another conservatorship would be a bit fishy. . .

I heard an "analyst" (more vague job titles please) say that it's possible, however unlikely, that AIG could turn around after this point and the U.S. could actually profit from this.

















I hope they don't try something like that.
