Don't Panic! Lighten Up!
The new revelations came to light after government investigators turned up new emails from Goldman employee Fabrice "Fabulous Fab" Tourre in which he bragged to a girlfriend that the firm was taking a "big short" position on the Gulf.
"One oil rig goes down and we're going to be rolling in dough," Mr. Tourre wrote in one email. "Suck it, fishies and birdies!"
The news about Goldman's bet against the Gulf comes on the heels of embarrassing revelations that the firm had taken a short position on Lindsay Lohan's acting career.

I swear I thought it was a joke! I mean, if this is not a joke, then... OMG. Our future is as bright as the future of those birdies and fishies.
When I first saw this being carried as news, I smelled an oil slick, and followed the links to Huffington Post, where I saw the category highlighted at the top of the page: COMEDY.

It is still being referenced as news. My question: is this disinfo once again, so that enough people will be stung falling for a satirical story, that we won't pay attention when it turns out Goldman Sachs did in fact short one of the players in the well? Declaim the evil Halliburton (hiss, boo), while the real action takes place off stage.
Apparently Borowitz provides us with the infinite jest of the elite Jew which I do find as bright as the future of those birdies and fishies. We're better off with Pugnacious O'Reilly who demands a bit more faculty but provides infinitely greater levity and has the finger on the real buffoonery to laugh about.
Sachs shorts Halliburton? The company 'repairing' the rig when it blew?
