When Words Fail Us

-
We know that the Balcony's promise is smart comments about unbelievable stories. But sometimes we just come up short. The story itself is so strong that any comment won't do it justice.

So here it is mot-a-mot from today's NYTimes:
A.I.G. is effectively suing its majority owner, the government, which has an 80 percent stake and has poured nearly $200 billion into the insurer in a bid to avert its collapse and avoid troubling the global financial markets. The company is in effect asking for even more money, in the form of tax refunds. The suit also suggests that A.I.G. is spending taxpayer money to pursue its case, something it is legally entitled to do.
