When i was initially reviewing my rationale for posting this diary, i was, to me, obviously,  trying to underscore the seriousness with which ET is attempting to bring its rational voice into the world of Serious.

Then i noticed on Facecrack that one of my friends had been voted into the top 100 most irrelevant people in the world. AND I MISREAD IT AS TOP 100 MOST IRREVERANT!!!

So of course you can imagine my lack of disrespection. and then i found the be-all-end-whup on the banking meltdown.
