Goldman's CEO and other top execs are set for another huge payday this year, although some of his former partners wonder about the backlash against him and the firm as a result. Blankfein is worried too. How is he to juggle the firm's great success - and the attendant increasing bonus expectations of the high achievers working at the firm - with the inevitable public outcry that will result from paying out multiple millions of dollars in bonuses at a time when people all over the country are still reeling from a financial calamity largely of Wall Street's making...
Instead of sorting through stacks of forms, I'll set my death panel behind huge wooden desks in a big empty room like the audition scene in Flashdance. I know this will make it hard for the sickest people to attend, and that will make my first cut much easier. I will green-light medical intervention on four criteria: cost, likelihood of success, years of life saved and a person's awesomeness.

Freshmen, take note. Daddy won't be able to park his SUV right at the entryway door next year. But with the exception of those foul beings who decided not only to store their huge, cage-like furniture pieces late in the game and close to the door, but also to take their precious time removing them, storage didn't look too bad all around...
