Default What the Market Will Bear (Bare)

I recently re-upped my subscription to Business Week. I really like the style of writing in that magazine. There is nothing esoteric about it. But an article I read today could have held its own in a tabloid. Too bad it's true.

So anyway, today, I finally had a chance to read the November 24 issue. And, of course, the first article I read was the one titled "Sex, Lies, and Mortgage Deals." (Aw, c'mon, you know that would have been your first choice, too.)

I will warn you that this article is completely disgusting. And I wondered if it might even be a little racy to link on TOTV. But before I am banned for posting such links, please let me plead my case by saying this was in BUSINESS WEEK!!!!!! Yep. BUSINESS WEEK!!!!

So while I truly believe that there is enough blame in the mortgage meltdown to cover both political parties, I did not post this in political. This is not political. This one is about business. The oldest business in the world. (No, not farming.)

And besides all that, it goes into acts of fraud that are unspeakable. Shredders all around. White-Out everywhere. Cut and paste your way to millions. Vile. Evil. And now we all must pay.

So consider yourself warned before you read this. You may or may not be surprised. You may be completely horrified. But I guarantee, even if you have heard it all before, it will make your blood run cold. And it probably will make you furious. And now we all must pay. Except the ones who should pay. They never seem to have to pay.

Oh well, read it and weep.
