If It's Friday...

Citizens Bank&Trust Company of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, was closed today by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation — Division of Banking, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with Republic Bank of Chicago, Oak Brook, Illinois, to assume all of the deposits of Citizens Bank&Trust Company of Chicago.

Now you know what my "minor crisis at work" was. Yes, I'm still in Las Vegas - I fly out tomorrow.

Laptops and cell phones are wonderful things.

ETA I work at Republic Bank of Chicago - the acquiring institution. This is good news for me - more work and job security.

Ah cool, I wasn't sure which company you actually worked for :)

Yes, I'd just finished 72 hours straight building a new fiscal model for pitching next week and I needed something that wasn't Excel.

That said, I'll be honest my heart wasn't really in it, mostly because the bald faced, heart stopping hypocrisy of Rand and his peanut gallery can get just a little too much.

He says he's not hysterical but he'll happily link to birther nonsense and state that the President is a liar?

As they say. Wow, just wow.

I knew that the election results would get him close to a melt down, goodness knows what he'll do if Obama continues to get his way AND wins the next election.

If Obama wins in 2012? Rand's head might explode.

Now there's an image :)

Although I'll be honest the robo-posting of absolutely any old anti-Obama blogosphere dreck is annoying. I'd like to have seen something about the X-37 flight but last time I looked he'd not said anything.
