 are you watching cnbc?

[Anonymous]

no, I had larry king with an angry michael moore on. 

was the cnbc show live?  they're showing some documentary about some rich dude

sometimes we get shows 3 hours later than you do, time zone thing

what was it about?

[beast]

it was a live special report about citibank. it ended at 10 my time.

i think this could get very serious.

the government gave them 20 billion but i think that won't save them.

i've always thought citi was kind of protected by the saudi prince, but now i'm not sure.

Sorry I missed it.  I'll look for it later.  It might be on later here, or they might repeat it later tonight.  They've been doing some sunday  night shows here if they think monday is going to be big

[beast]

i'm guessing the markets will automatically give back a lot of Fridays phony gain and then if citi doesn't get help and creates a silent run which is most likely happening the markets could tank big.

I'll check out cnbc before I go to sleep

I'm going to go watch 24 in a few minutes

I heard a CIA guy on Charlie Rose say that some in the CIA ask themselves "How would Jack Bauer handle this or that"
