Midday open thread (Dec 13 2006 19:24 GMT) - A good year to work for Goldman Sachs. The Goldman Sachs Group reported today that it earned $9.34 billion this year, the most in Wall Street history, and that it would set aside $16.5 billion for salaries, bonuses and benefits for employees.

Walking the line (Dec 13 2006 19:24 GMT) - This should be a pretty introspective blog. I've been thinking a lot recently (again) about the dynamics between DH, BM and myself....and her current husband to some level. I am very confused.

Words Failed Them (Dec 13 2006 19:22 GMT) - In an interesting memo, Frank Luntz, one of the arhitects of the strategy that gave Republicans control of the House of Representatives in 1994, explains why Republicans lost control in 2006. The debacle of 2006 didn’t have to happen …but it was destined to happen. There was no cooperation between the House and Senate GOP. There was no coordination between the House and Senate GOP.

Tom Donahue, the 'Gang of 6' and Red America (Dec 13 2006 19:22 GMT) - Well, it turns out that the Sunrise Senior Living scandal isn't the first time Mr. Donahue has been involved in corporate accountability problems, but I'll save that for a later post.
