On Vacation

Sorry for the slow posting.

We're headed to Minneapolis in the morning to visit family. Have a great week.

Update: Before shutting down I dropped by Bullied Pulpit to see what's new. And he sent me to this column by Steven Pearlstein, who is so on target it's breathtaking. When I saw Bank of America's CEO whining to Congress yesterday about the Merrill Lynch deal, the only thing I could think was, "Why, you little weasel!"

Pearlstein tells you why.

Bank of America is our bank, by the way. Not by choice, really. By merger, acquisition, and inertia. We started off at Talman Home. Which was acquired by LaSalle and became LaSalle Talman, then just LaSalle. Until it was acquired by ABN/AMRO, and became LaSalle ABN. Then it was acquired by Bank of America. The bank I hated in the 60's.

But that's ancient history. Read the column.

And have a great week.
