Real Life Stuff

Ayayayay!  Woke up about 15 minutes later than I planned.  Have to actually *be* somewhere this morning.  So, this is going to be short.

If there are any intrepid reporters out there who want to see what’s going on in the drug industry, check out the Drug Discovery Day activities at the CoRe building at Rutgers University.  There will be 50 companies and recruiters available.  You can be depressed directly or you could network and be depressed.  Choices, Choices!  Actually, I wanted to go to this but I have another event that might be more interesting, but we’ll see.

On the MF Global front, there were signs and implications a few months ago that something was up.  Enough signs that the White House was aware of it, albeit it on the late side.  Gary Gensling, former Clinton advisor and now head of the CTFC, became concerned last Thursday that MF Global was comingling is monies.  This turned out to be true.  The whole article has the feel of people trying to patch together a timeline so no one looks totally awful.

It’s not Monday but I still feel manic.

  1. The whole article has the feel of people trying to patch together a timeline so no one looks totally awful.

    What article? Got a link or tell us where it is?

  2. snooze button.RD. 🙂

  3. As with RMN it won’t be the crime but the cover up that does this administration in. (I hope)

  4. Maybe this one on MF Global….”http://www.efinancialnews.com/story/2011-10-31/mf-global-timeline-from-man-group-to-next-goldman-sachs” . It is the one I thought she meant when I read the post.

  5. Occupy All the Harlems, to Save Ourselves from the Dictatorship of Wall Street

    Glen Ford at BAR

    There comes a time of awakening. We are now in that time – although some Black folks are not yet awake. Our job is to wake our people up, so that we don’t sleep through this moment.

    The young people that began this Occupation Movement less than two months ago are not “us,” but they have done all of us a great service. They have shouted out the name and address of the enemy – the enemy of all humanity. The enemy’s name is Finance Capital, and the address is Wall Street, and that is the truth.

  6. Off topic: Another petition to test the DNA again in the case of Hank Skinner, who faces execution in Texas despite grave doubts about his guilt.

    NOTE: Signing petition will also sign you up to MoveOn.org, but you can unsubscribe at any time.

  7. Gosh, I must have still been asleep when I wrote this one.
