Follow Up #3: You've Heard of the Illuminati ...

This one's just for fun ... I've said it before and I'll say it again. Goldman is a financial institution in a league of its own. Consider it the Lance Armstrong of Wall Street.

Oh, and the Federal Government sucks.

As it turns out, the majority of WSJ.com readers who bothered to opine agree with me on both points. From their Deal Journal blog a month ago:

"Deal Journal readers overwhelmingly support a Goldman Sachs takeover of the U.S."
The authors placed their tongue firmly in cheek before chasing the idea that where there's a will there's a conspiracy. They went on (in the above blog post and several others) to raise the notion of a long-standing conspiracy by Goldman to "decide what you eat for breakfast and when."

Who knew Goldman was the new Illuminati? Or are they the new Kevin Bacon?

So hard to tell these days.
