Andrew Sorkin:

Many of the most senior members of management on Wall Street now consider themselves “survivors,” as if they were cancer survivors or something. That’s the word they use. While many of them are self-aware enough to politely nod at the notion that they received help and were part of the problem, they seem reluctant to acknowledge they were “rescued” or “saved.” There are probably a few exceptions, so I shouldn’t paint them all with the same brush, but on the whole, that was the takeaway.

I recognize that that answer will only increase public outrage. But it is true.

Funny. I guess I'd see it differently; the banksters aren't "cancer survivors"--

I'm getting tired of waiting for my furnace guy. Any of you with old houses and single pipe steam systems know if this is true?

A representative of the company told me that old-house owners have reported great success with his company's product, J-B Weld on old cast-iron radiators.

No Blood for Hubris is the name:

PTSD's the game.

I see traumatized people everywhere:

They don't even know that they're traumatized. (Oh! Would that be: numbing and avoidance?)

But I am running ahead of myself (Oh! Would that be: dissociative de-personalization?).

So I stopped by Digby, who apparently had written a post in support of supporting this here Corrente here. And I was about to comment about supporting her post in support of supporting this here Corrente here.
