6. Lehman Bros. is one of our clients. The last architectural project I did for them |
|
was finished 2 weeks ago. That is of course after the scope was reduced by more than 50%.

5. I'm conflicted but had to go with 3. Not becuase natural disasters or |
|
overseas events aren't just as important. But in a way I think this issue will affect the whole world not just us.

I think Palin is in deep kimshee. I'm pretty sure she gloated/whined to Toddy in those "executive privilege" emails. And I don't think she can keep them out of the investigation.
An indictment prior to the election would be delightful. I half expect it, short of investigators getting "small-planed".

13. This WAS a pretty big news week |
|
wasn't it? The Fannie and Freddie bail out is huge, but I think the sex and drug scandal is the top story. Ike is huge, the LA train wreck is monster, but it's all Palin all the time.
