...Bank of America Loan losses: BofA's buyout of mortgage broker Countrywide means the bank has $400 billion in home loans outstanding - more than its competitors. Worse, Countrywide, by nearly all accounts, had shockingly low lending standards. Chalk up a higher-than-average $40 billion in losses there. On top of that, BofA has made $87 billion in loans to commercial real estate developers. Roubini predicts 17% of those loans will go bad as developers hit the skids. For BofA, that's $15 billion more in losses. Toss in $55 billion in commercial- and consumer-loan losses...
...five early Roger Corman cheapies), then sweet as Fred MacMurray's wife on My Three Sons. A cut-rate Barbara Stanwyck, she deserved better scripts than she got. In Edgar G. Ulmer's meat-B noir classic Detour (1945), Ann Savage, 87, invested her sharp features and scraping-chalk voice in, unquestionably, the harshest, most conniving bitch in movie history. More than 60 years later, Guy Maddin cast her as another harridan-hellion - his mother - in the recent "docu-fantasia" My Winnipeg...

The most popular program on BBC2 - the higher-browed of the Beeb's two main channels - Top Gear regularly pulls in more than 7 million viewers, roughly a quarter of all Britons watching TV during the program's Sunday-night slot. Chalk that up to the show's high speed and high production values: crazy challenges and outlandish races - an Aston Martin versus a train between England and Monte Carlo, for instance (the Aston won) - are, like the rest of the show, beautifully shot and edited. Add in the bickering, bantering, male...
...were unimpressed. First, it’s no surprise how dumb they are; their library only had a basketball court and a bunch of free weights. Then their dining hall only had chalk to eat, and they apparently make them eat at desks! (How do you eat like that?) These Yalies even stooped so low as to send some of their goons (presumably from New Haven Community College...or WAIT, isn’t that Yale?!) dressed in HUPD costumes to chase us down. As we ran off Yale’s campus, we saw the final mark of shame...
