A Note to Our Readers

-
During the past couple of months, Waldorf and I have done our outmost to bring you the madness of our world. Unfortunately, it has become evident that the capacity of AIG, GM, GS, Citi, Madoff, et al. to produce insanity far surpasses our ability to cover it. Not to worry though, our dear readers. We have summonned the help of yet another charmingly aged Muppet!

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you Pops!

Having spent all of his career so far, deeply embedded in what we used to call Investment Banking (different terms are being used lately), Pops is uniquely positioned to spot and point out the irony (should I say vainness?) of it all. He has agreed to join us and share his insights with you. Although there are no concerns whatsoever about the quality of his contribution, he has refused to provide any guarantees about its quantity. He will intervene only when he deems it necessary. We will take it anyway. Pops welcome onboard. It's getting crowded in the Balcony, and as Martha Stewart would say, that's a good thing...


PS: One more thing. After receiving yesterday, the extremely flattering comments of two friends who, regretfully, chose to remain Anonymous, we felt that we had to add Pops to our team in order to ensure that those posting on this blog continue to outnumber the ones commenting it...

Also of note is the fact that pops is the ony one of us that seems to have lived through the 1929 great depression.

Pops welcome to the balcony. Pull up a chair, miss Piggy is about to do her show.

Dear Statler & Waldorf, we hope that Pops is as witty and insightful as the two of you. For the time being he has been very quiet. regards from Rio de Janeiro.
