Another Work Of Blinding Radiance From The Epicurean Dealmaker


Fanboy is such an ugly word, with a plethora of negative connotations. And yet, I am unsure how else to describe the transcendental joy I feel at reading the purple prose of the Blogosphere's favorite Investment Banker.


I don't know how I missed his posting from March 26th until now, but consider this link a sort of attonement.


The investment bankers and traders at Bear have been royally rogered, as well. No-one feels sorry for them, of course, especially the Lord of the Flies crowd clogging the comment pages of the New York Times DealBook and the WSJ Deal Journal. Although I suspect each and every one of those pseudo-socialists cackling merrily at the evaporation of billions of dollars of wealth from the personal balance sheets of BSC bankers would themselves be far more willing to chop their little peckers off with a rusty knife than suffer a similar percentage hit to their own financial position. Risk-averse pussies.




The only downside to his epistle was that it made me snort a pleasant but otherwise indifferent Semillon Chardonay all over my nice Dell laptop. TED, if you could drop me an email, we can make arrangements for you to ship me a replacement.

The Epicurean Dealmaker incites more bloggery, envy


Lest you think that I am without parallel in the field of Dearly In Love With One's Own Prose, I find myself one-upped with the somewhat anti-climactic exercise in self-adulation left behind by TED prior to taking his holidays.



To my delight, folly, avarice, and hubris have been thick on the ground these past few months, so I have had plenty of grist for my metaphorical mill. Having slaughtered many innocent pixels on the altar of Better Information Through Vanity Publishing on the Internet, I had copious material from which to select the following gems. (Those of you sensitive to Green issues can consider this my contribution to global recycling, if you wish.)

Without further ado, I offer you the current crop of the best and brightest:


I don't wish to infer that I don't enjoy reading and re-reading my own prose, basking in the radiance of my own cleverness. I do, really.


I just also know to give credit where it is due, and acknowledge the work of a master.

Paris Hilton released early from jail before the Apple iPhone launch: Coincidence? I think not!











Since The Epicurean Dealmaker has pretty much called me out (deservedly, perhaps) for shamless blogwhoring, I might as well ride this pony all the way.



Paris Hilton!
Paris Hilton!
Paris Hilton!



Apple iPhone!
Apple iPhone!
Apple iPhone!


It's kind of like summoning Beetlejuice.





...I've had a lot of coffee this morning, even by my standards, and I get a little goofy when that happens.
