Now Here's Something You Don't See Everyday:

"Goldman Sachs Reports Disappointing Profit of $1.05 Billion"

That's a headline from this afternoon's edition of The New York Times. It seems that while Goldman Sachs has doubled its profits from last year the analysts were expecting much more. Well, so was I, gosh darn it! I mean, what can we expect from this economy anyhow? I'll bet there isn't an out of work or underemployed American in the country who doesn't feel for this venerable company. We should just rush to give 'em a new tax break, don't you think?
