Discussion thread #666.

Just saying.

I bet it will slouch off to Jerusalem to be born.

This may be a dumb question coming from me, but how do you know that's the 666th discussion thread?

Never mind. I didn't notice this was in Politics. I was looking at General, which has much more.

We could make it about this new chapter in the ongoing "Goldman Sachs is the devil but everyone is cool with it because they make money" debate.

Wow, that twitter feed is...hard to digest. I can't stop reading it though.

ok some of those are hilarious:

"#1: You know TV reporters are full of shit when they transition from NBA to WNBA highlights without losing enthusiasm."

Edit: a lot are also crazy offensive of course. Reminds me of The Boiler Room or Wall Street.

This is good stuff. I like the story about the Singapore hooker who can tell at a glance how much mini bar crap adds up to 200 bucks.

I would pay like $500k to watch the Kardashians play Scrabble.

Heh heh... "Da Knicks! I haven't been this excited about a bunch of black men since Boyz 2 Men played my bar mitzvah!"

HA HA HA Icing on the cake?:

"One day, I hope I'm rich enough to become a Democrat."

Another good one:

"Riding the subway reminds me of why I'm pro choice."

"It's sweet how my wife thinks giving me the silent treatment is punishing me."

I just typed a long e-mail out on my Blackberry while sitting in front of my computer. Time for a Starbucks run.

-I think he used to be my Executive Director. I caught him doing that shit all the time.

Seconded. Also Christ. Maybe Thor if he hasn't drank. NOT BUHDA THOUGH. He's a jerk.

Many biblical scholars believe that The Beast in the book of Revelations was a reference to the Roman Emperor Nero, who had died by the time the book had been written, but it was mistakenly believed by many at the time that Nero was in hiding and would soon return.

There's two articles of interest here on GSElevator. The first is supposedly an interview with the author:

The second, and more interesting, is a pretty good argument for why the GSElevator is probably a fake:

Edit: And then a pretty good retort by GSElevator:
